One of the things I love best about fall and winter is football. I've always loved to watch. It's always been a bummer with my female friends because most don't care to watch the game. Then I became friends with Ann. She loves the game as much as I do, so for the past six or seven years, we have bantered back and forth over Payton (whom she adores even to the point of having dreams about him and his brother Eli fighting over her), Tom (who had to sit on our sidelines this year literally), Jake who leads my team, and all the other players.
We do not agree on any team from college to pro. She will like one team and I will like another. I would pick a team opposite Ann just to keep the banter going. I have so much fun talking with her about football.
Ann called me Saturday night when her beloved Payton was playing. Now don't get me wrong, I like Payton as well, but I also pull for the team, not just the quarter back, which I'm not sure she does because she likes the hunks. However, when her Payton lost Saturday night and blew any chances of a Superbowl appearance in Tampa, Ann wanted to know if I was attending the Carolina Panthers playoff game this Saturday night. When I told her I was, she told me to "bite her". Jealousy????????? Surely not because Carolina still stands a chance to go to Tampa and all her other teams are out of the running. All except Eli. So I guarantee that if Carolina wins Saturday and Eli (because the Giants aren't a team without Eli) wins Sunday, then Ann will pull for Eli just because I'm pulling for Carolina.
Doesn't matter, I loved Ann when her and Rob and the whole crew lived in NC, and I love them all just as much even though she moved to the center of ---well----no where. That's right, she left me three years ago to move to the center of no where, but I guess my adoration for her family will follow her out there. She is a rock to me and the leader of my team even though she doesn't know it.
You're always the captain of my personal Superbowl team and I miss you terribly.
