[QUOTE="donna723, post: 506129, member: 1883"] I did watch the Super Bowl (just for the commercials) but that's the only game I watch all year. Actually I LOATH football! But that's because I associate it so strongly with my ex. When he was around, that's all that was ever on because, of course, HE controlled the remote. It's so bad that all I have to do is hear that theme music and I can almost smell the beer fumes! It's creepy! My stomach starts to tighten up and I feel like if I were to turn around quickly, he'd be sitting right there on the sofa, beer can in hand! Eeewww! I understand all the little ins and outs of baseball because I was raised on it and lived in a city with a major league team where baseball was more like a religion. But I've had countless people try to explain football to me and I just don't get it ... mostly because I don't really [I]want[/I] to get it! While they're trying to explain it, I'm tuning them out and my brain is off in fastasy land somewhere or I'm mentally making out my grocery list because I have no interest in it whatsoever! They're explaining downs and quarters and penalties and I'm just hearing, [I]"Blah blah blah blah ..."[/I] It's the same with several other things that people have tried to explain to me over the years that I have no interest in ... like what beats what in poker, or how to read music, or how to work a camera with all those little gibberish settings on them. But then that's just me ... :bag: [/QUOTE]
