I never thought I would say this, but I like watching football. Basketball was easy to get into b/c my family watched it, and with baseball, I had to learn to like. With football, all I had to do was learn the talk, terms, plays, and positions, then I was good to go. This is my second week of watching it on my own. And today was also Eli Manning's starting debut as the NY Giants' Quarterback. I'm still a rookie at the sport, but I think he did a pretty good job for his debut even though they lost by 4. They actually could've won, but the Falcons were good with their sacks. If I was Eli, I would have tremendous pressure (which he might've had) b/c not only is it my starting debut, but I would have some big shoes to fill considering brother and dad are/were great players. I was happy for him when he threw the 6-yard touchdown pass to Shockey. I think football is more exciting -- there is constant action. I tend to be more patient with baseball -- innings can be very long and pitchers can take their sweet time. I also noticed I won't watch a sport unless a NY team is playing. I don't think you would catch me watching a football or baseball game on my own if two out-of-state teams were playing. I have to take baby steps getting into all this sports. =P I would hate to be a football player b/c I see how those guys get tackled, and how their bodies crash into each other and fly all over the place. Yikes.
Tonight, I also learned "Run the clock out" (??) means that if a team has no more time outs left, they have to run the clock out; finish up the time remaining. I saw the players kneeling and I thought "aww, how nice, they are all saying a prayer like one big family after the game". Yeah, I was wrong.
