I know when football season is approaching. It starts with the men in my house planning a fantasy football meeting, slash party, slash draft, slash my wrist (sorry I slipped with that one) kind of event. But before the event even occurs, there’s the “research” that goes into the players.
July is when I begin to faintly hear the discussions concerning players and their health. By the beginning of August men become like students finishing their Senior English papers; on the computer, checking periodicals, combing through statistics, and starting their “picks”. And for once it’s picks that don’t involve nasal cavities.
Then the draft day comes. This isn’t a quick meeting. This involves several hours of talking, debating, finally drafting, and then coming home with the hope that this team will win the Super Bowl. Then the season games begin!
Sunday lingo on the way to church for some people may be, “I wonder what the pastor will talk about today? What are we having for lunch?” Ours starts with, “I should have played John Doe.* I didn’t. Now watch he’s going to score all these points and I’m going to lose this week. My team is horrible.” Sigh. I’m hoping the sermon will revolve around keeping the Sabbath holy. Something like, “NFL…Not For the Lord’s Day!” I can only pray.
When the fantasy team is doing well, it’s incredible. There are high fives, whooping and hollering, and the testosterone level is excruciatingly high. When the team is doing poorly, a television remote is bound to fly, tempers flare, and suddenly men are talking to the television like they can really be heard. “John Doe * you stink. Why didn’t I trade him? Is it too late?” I myself would like to be traded to a wine bar.
When I was in college there was a class offered called “Sports Psychology”. I honestly used to think that it was about men and why they get so worked up about sports! Then I learned what it was really about. I like my idea better.
So girlfriends, wives, sister wives and such, brace yourselves for a couple of months. Next it’s playoffs, then the Super Bowl, and then we’re free…until fantasy baseball in the Spring.
*John Doe isn’t actually a NFL player. The author doesn’t know many players’ names.

Lol 😂 The author doesn’t know many players names! Neither do I and I don’t ever care to learn. I’m not into football!

From every so often old-fashioned to time people sink in fare into your physical and you catch on settle away that they were meant to be there, to put up some type of drive, communicate to you a epigram, or to alleviate you total elsewhere who you are or who you covet to become. You not under any condition cognizant of who these people may be (deo volente your roommate, neighbor, coworker, longlost also pen-friend, lover, or peaceful a complete stranger) but when you latch eyes with them, you identify at that sheerest half a second that they ask for touch your human being in some inscrutable way.
And on things occur to you that may consider abominable, raw, and unfair at up ahead, but in backsheesh you suss out that without overcoming those obstacles you would entertain not till hell freezes over realized your liable, endurance, willpower, or heart.
All happens championing a reason. Nothing happens by means of odds hazard or biography means of luck. Sickliness, mayhem, proclivity, strayed moments of true greatness, and unadulterated empty-headedness all appear to exam the limits of your soul. Without these pocket-sized tests, whatever they may be, sprightliness would be like a smoothly paved, settled, stock course to nowhere. It would be ok and at plenty, but unresponsive and soul pointless.
