Football has gotten so risque

Football has started. How do I know? Because usually I spend Sunday afternoons watching HGTV or movies (ever since we got every channel known to man). But today I got kicked off the couch during a perfectly good nap so Lee could invite people over to watch the Dallas Cowboys game.

So I banished to my desk to work. I can hear the TV from my desk, but I can’t see it. It’s blocked by a big wall of bookshelves. Since I wasn’t watching my full attention wasn’t really on the game. Therefore when the announcers said some things, they didn’t register quite right in my brain.

For example:

When the announcer was talking about somebody’s record from the previous year he said he had no sex…what he actually said was he has no sacks. I didn’t know. I thought maybe it was a reverse Bull Durham thing or something.

A while later when they said they would give away the gay ball…turns out they are actually giving out the game ball. I wondered why the announcer was using such a term smack dab in the middle of the football game. On national television. Especially since I keep yelling at my kids for using that word as a derogatory term. But maybe he just meant “happy.”

Clearly I need to clean out my ears.
