Ten on Tuesday: 10 Reasons to Watch FOOTBALL!

This should be pretty easy, since I love watching football on Sunday afternoons!

1. To root for your home-town (or favorite) team!

2. To watch the great commercials! C'mon, admit it, we all watch at least a little bit for the commercials, LOL.

3. To spend some quality time with your hubby (or boyfriend/friend/whatever) ... guys love football, and they love their women to watch it with them (especially if we're getting #4 ready ...)!

4. For the snacks! Buffalo wings, chips & dips, cheese & crackers, pretzels, popcorn, whatever you're making for the big game, it usually ends up being a deliciously overdone event!

5. For the tailgating ... ok, so I could have combined #4 and #5, but really, it's two completely separate things! Tailgating is so totally different than watching in the confines of your living room. With tailgating there's definitely alot of snacks, but they lean more toward 'at the game' foods ... burgers, dogs, brats, etc. Tailgating has a purely social aspect to it ... you become great friends with those around you, simply by virtue of the fact that you're rooting for the same team, and dedicated enough to come out and enjoy the day around that game!

6. For the beer ... hmmm, 'nuff said I think.

7. Well-defined muscles in overly tight pants. Hang on while I wipe the teeny bit of drool off my keyboard ...

8. To gather stats for your fantasy football league ... c'mon, you know you do it!

9. To have a few hours where you can sit and knit (or drag out your crafty obsession of choice) and not feel guilty about doing that instead of spending time with your hubby or family, LOL!

10. To keep those time-honored traditions alive. Because gone are the days of watching football only on Sunday afternoon after church. Now there's regular Sunday afternoon football ... there's Sunday night football, Monday night football, Thursday night football, and (at times during the season) there's Saturday football. Of course you have to add in the pregame and post game shows, the preview shows during the week leading up to football, etc. If you don't watch football, there's a good chance you'll have nothing in common with hubby (if he's a football fan-atic) because from September through January, that's all he will be doing!!!

I love my fantasy teams! Even if my loser team lost this week because I had the wrong wide receiver in!
