Invasion of Boys and Football
It’s been a long time since my house has been invaded by boys and Monday night football. Last night I had both boys and football in my house. I let the boys have the prime TV viewing spots on my couch and I curled up in my big fluffy reading chair. “Aren’t you going to watch the game?” The boys asked.
“I can see it from here.”
I lost interest in football when Steve Young quit playing for the San Francisco 49ers; he had the prettiest blue eyes ever. Then when I divorced and had control of the remote control again, I realized I no longer had to watch and quit football all together. Now I only watch football when I happen to be at a friend’s house and it’s on the TV or the Super bowl. Doesn’t everyone watch the Super bowl? I watched the Steelers win the Super bowl last January and last night they couldn’t even score.
I didn’t give up on sports all together though… since my divorce I’ve discovered ice hockey and become a huge
Bakersfield Condors fan, I rarely miss a home game. Is it hockey season yet? I swear the six months off between hockey seasons is the longest six months ever! In fact all summer long some of the
Bakersfield Blitz players I work out with at
Terrio Therapy Fitness have been trying to get me to go to Blitz games. They know I’m a Condors fan. They’ve even offered me free tickets but I won’t take them. Arena football is not ice hockey! The boys lounging on my couch were ice hockey fans too. “If a hockey player and a football player were to fight, the hockey player would totally win.” One of the boys said.
“Size is the only thing a football player might have on a hockey player, some of them are pretty big.” I said.
“If they were evenly matched in size the hockey player would kick butt!”
Hockey players beating up football players, this was the topic of discussion in my house where chick flicks like
Moulin Rouge rein supreme. I was just happy I could contribute to the conversation and hold my own…
My Photos...
My lady is a sport's nut. I haven't watched since ninth grade, which is why we have two tv's. But I have to say that a hockey player would totally kick the football player's ass. Oooh. Face.
Coincidentally, the player pictured at the top of the Blitz website (#87 Mahanke)is one of the guys I work out with at Terrio...
I used to love watching sports until I got married. Football and basketball. So I guess we're opposites that way matildakay. My hubby is OBSESSED with all sports to the point where it just turned me off altogether. He does Fantasy Football, Fantasy Baseball.. fantasy... blah! I'm talking OBSESSED! SPORTS OVERKILL!
Christopher, the only way a hockey player would kick a football players ass is if he hit him with his hockey stick. LOL
Norma, haven't you ever seen hockey players fight? They don't fight with their hockey sticks, they use their fists and their bodies while standing on skates on ice! Hockey players would soooo kick a football players ass!
I love football, especially high school and college football. When Picnic closes I am ALLLL over going to watch EBHS play!! They even sell the best Hot Dogs in town there at EB, and I am somewhat of a hot dog expert! LOL.
I enjoy hockey - was in love with a Canadian for a while, gotta love it then, eh? and car racing? Another fun one...
Don't put the Women of Bakersfield in a box! Or at least not THIS woman of Bakersfield....
Why don't you bring your hockeyplayer and I'll bring my football player and we'll put some money on it? hahahah
I'm sooooooo kidding, matildakay.
I don't watch hockey, but I know those guys are crazy mother effers. I wouldn't doubt they can kick some major ass.
i'm a total sports nut. you know that, wifey! football reigns supreme with me. :) i'll watch pretty much any sport, but football will always be my #1.
i don't know if i agree with the hockey vs. football player. i guess it would depend on how you match 'em up... like goalie vs. quarterback or foward vs. receiver... hmmm....
i don't know.

I have a teenage son, but when he was preteen he played football. He was tiny. I mean TINY. I was so afraid for him. But man he was a nutcase. You get him out there and he'd take on the biggest dudes and knock them to the ground. He'd say, "always go for the knees, it's their weakness" sure enough. Boy... Thank goodness he discovered wrestling and water polo because I swear I got all my gray hair from watching him play football all those years before high school. I swear each game I feared he was going to break his neck. Ugh.
Hockey rocks--so does college football. NFL is OK... Thanks for the fun evening.
