Are You Ready For Some Football?

I watched the NFL draft last month – did you?
It’s funny, actually, because at least a couple of my Mommyhood co-writers were, um, under-impressed. I saw such tweets from the gals (who will remain nameless to protect them from unsportsmanlike conduct) as:
I think watching a spelling bee is more entertaining to watch than the NFL Draft.
Which garnered the following response:
Or watching grass grow! 
I giggled. I get it, not everyone is in to it. It would likely kill them all to know that I’ve never, not EVER, watched a single episode of “Dancing With The Stars”. I’ve not seen “Glee”, either. They just aren’t my thing.
The Draft? Yep, I was all over it. (You were too, weren’t you, Elizabeth?) (note from the editor: yes, Megan, I watched all 7 rounds, basically in their entirety!) I sat on pins and needles, waiting to see who my Colts selected. I watched for the kids from my Hoosiers team to get the chance to hear their name called. I watched the trades, listened to Gruden have a series of mini-strokes, enjoyed the process of team development.
Sports are one of the things my family really bonds over. My mom, sometimes my brothers, and frequently my neighbors hang in my living room with us on football Sundays, where we eat lots of food and scream at the television. My father is a Tennessee Titans season ticket holder, and we (lovingly) trade some pretty snide text messages when we face off. I grew up on Indiana Basketball. Our mutual love of sports was one of the things that brought my husband and me closer together early in our relationship.
I thought it would be interesting to know what, if any, sports interested some of you! My list, in no particular order, includes professional and collegiate football, collegiate basketball, and auto racing (NASCAR, Indy Car and Sprints). I was never, however, an athlete on any level, although I still tell my husband regularly that I’m gonna be a NASCAR driver when I grow up! I’ve always just been a (reeeeally loud) fan.

I know this probably sounds really cheesy, but I am a fan of what ever sport my kids. Mostly soccer. Soccer consumes our non school time in fall and spring, and still has influence during summer and winter.
I do’t get much into sports on TV, other than the Red Wings Hockey and a few sports in the Olympics. I prefer to see sports in person rather than on TV. Since I am not willing to pay the price for many collegiate and pro sports, I will have to stick to the sports my kids play. Guess I’ll be in trouble if/when one of my kids become a collegiate or pro player

I am a die hard college football fan! Hook ‘Em Horns! (I went to UT, but even if I didn’t, I’d root for their sheer awesomeness)
Pro football, though, I could give a rat’s behind, though!
Megan, you would love Glee. I know that theater side of you! You need to get on hulu.com and check it out. Even Chuck likes it! They even have an episode where they combined Glee Club and High School Football (courtesy of Beyonce’s – Single Ladies).

While I did not get into the draft, I love love love football. Husband and I always get excited in August b/c we know our days of sitting on the couch watching football for hours are almost there…poor Crazies…they’re going to be sucked into our NY/Philly wars and enjoy every minute of laziness with us…either that or try to ruin it for us by making us be parents!!!
HUGE college and pro football fan…. GO COLTS baby!!

FOOTBALLLLLLLL!!!!
This is a sports house. We are all Hurricanes and Yankees, and I am a Dolphins & Devils fan.
NBA is really the only thing I don’t love, but I’ll root for the Heat.
Sadly, I never played real sports, but I did ballet & tap and horseback riding for quite a while, way back when.
And I watched pretty much the whole draft. With a lot of interest. Except for when the Jets & the Pats were picking.

Hubby works in college athletics so I’d be in trouble if I didn’t enjoy sports too! My daughter was at her first Cougar football game at 4 weeks old! I am loyal to my Michigan State Spartans though!!
We usually treat the NFL Draft like a holiday but since they moved it to prime-time on a Thursday, I didn’t even turn it on.
