I have received many skeptical comments about my participation in this year's Super Bowl. Don't get me wrong. I almost always go to a party. But that's mostly because I can talk, eat, and take pictures for my scrapbook. Why miss such an opportunity?
But this year, since the Colts participated, so did I. Mom bought me a shirt...my very first ever sports shirt! She called me from the store to see if I wanted long or short sleeves. Since I'm never cold, I told her short. And then it was -700 degrees that day, so I had to put long sleeves under it. Good grief.
The party I went to was a lot of fun - but the people weren't really sports fans! And I know NOTHING about football. So finally, at nearly halftime, I said to this one guy in the room, "Hey - are you a Colts fan?" He said he was, and I said, "Okay, well I'm going to need you to react just a little bit bigger so I know when to clap."
I think I became the personal project of two or three there. I didn't mean to actually learn about football. I just meant to get a clapping cue. But they tried to teach me about downs and yards and all that jazz.
But let it be known, I was the only one at the party that showed up in a team shirt....and of course, the nails to match!

I bought a Colt's shirt when they won the championship. It was long sleeved and Andrew and I both have the same one. I proudly wore mine on game day and Andrew wore his Manning jersey. I've become a football fan...it's official!
Congrats on the new sports gear.
Oh, you know how I learned the "rules" of football? I started playing a college football game on the playstation with Andrew. Being somewhat competitive, it gave me the motivation to learn the rules. I even win sometimes, though my play is still somewhat, shall we say, unconventional!
I remember the last game I played against you and Andrew. As I recall, I ended up with some pretty questionable opinions of me...what was that game called again? Date, something, something?
I knew nothing about football. But this year I've learned some things. Just keep in mind, it is always good when our team catches or intercepts the ball and takes off running toward the touch down place! Stand up and scream, no one will ever know you know nothing about football.
You so talk like me! "The touch down place." I am trying to remember what I said during the game that they laughed at - something like that. :) I never would have guessed that you weren't all knowing about football!!!
By the way, I hear our 3 person, 11 year reunion is on!!!
