How 'Bout Them Cowboys :D

Posted by Nerdyy

Aaahh :P The best weekend in the year is here :P The start of the NFL (National Football League) season ... and for the uninitiated Football (so named because the oval shaped ball that is primarily thrown around caught and run with, is of a foot in length :P) - not to be confused with the other football that the world plays that we call soccer muahhahaha :P

I shall be avidly following my favorite team - the Dallas Cowboys :D - the nickname "America's Team" was given to them in 1978 because it seemed like people in every stadium across the country were Cowboys Fans. And even though baseball is called Americas pastime, Football is really America's game - all you have to do is go to any bar in any place in this country on a Saturday (for the college version), a Sunday or a Monday night (for the pro versions) and you will see a LARGE number of people gulping beer, screaming at the TV and generally having a good time. And there are of course the tailgaters at the stadiums - people that go to watch the games, show up at the stadium 5-10 hours in advance carrying their grills in their trucks or cars or SUVs or minivans, fire up the grill, cook their meats (and err umm veggies) and imbibe their beers :D - all this before they make their way to the stadium to watch the games.

Ah Football Season - so emblematic of Fall :D


The Cowboys play the hated New York Giants at 7:45 pm Central tonight :D
