When women learn sports, WE LEARN SPORTS. You never know when your sports knowledge is going to be challenged by some man who is sure he knows more than you just because…well, because he’s a man. Men think that it’s some sort of birthright that they know more about sports than we ladies too. But au contraire mon fraire (?), female sports fans typically take their learning seriously. You don’t want to be the lone girl who’s wrong about a call or a player’s history. How dreadful.

Men love to show off their machismo when it comes to sports.
Fortunately, a lot of what men’s sports analysis is way off. Many avid male sports watchers don’t know much more about sports than they would if they were a casual fan. See, men don’t have to learn sports the way we females do, because no one is questioning them. In fact, the first thing you notice as a woman after learning your favorite sport in and out is how little the men yelling in the sportsbars and on your couch actually know about the game.


Women shouldn’t be intimidated by the passion men show for the game—passion doesn’t mean the game is complicated. Basketball is a sport that brings a lot of emotion out of sportsfans during playoffs but what’s more simple than trying to get a ball into a basket? Baseball drives some fans maniacal, nothing is simpler than hitting a ball and running some bases. After you watch for a few years, you develop some sports memory which is helpful in conversation, but you can pick that up by reading articles on your favorite team.

Football, I’ll admit is much more complex and can seem impossible to understand completely. That’s because…it is. The NFL handbook is longer than Roots and not written with a layperson audience in mind. There’s more going on on a football field than anyone who’s not on that field can ever imagine. But football has become much easier to understand as networks like Foxx adjust their cameras to provide the viewer with more angles and more action.

Whats more, football has something that other sports simply do not—an abundance of RIDICULOUSLY FINE MEN.

Sure basketball has produced a few cuties, but I bet you can name every cutie pie currently in the NBA. I’ve counted and there are exactly 10. In fact, basketball in it’s 55 year history has probably only produced 55 men who weren’t complete ogres. Baseball has more odd looking players than cutesy Kenny Loftons or sexy A-Rods. The NFL, on the other hand, has more cuties than you can count on your little manicured fingers. Each week presents you with a new opportunity to spot someone new and lust-worthy on the sideline. Check out this little piece of chocolate cake I spotted last week when the Saints played:



That is one DAMN GOOD reason to watch the game. I was first attracted to football after a couple sideline views of Randall Cunningham and Hershall Walker. These big strong handsome specimans piqued my interest. Jamal Anderson, RB for the Atlanta Falcons was the straw that broke the camel’s back. After seeing him with his helmet off one day, I thought, anything that a man like that is a part of, I need to learn and learn fast.

And so I did. And so you should. Getting into football can be rough in the beginning, here’s some help getting over the hump.

You don’t care about the Jets or the Redskins? Really? Would this picture of Jets Safety Kerry Rhodes and Redskins Wide Receiver Devin Thomas change your mind?



The Giants in a slump? Funny, because, from the looks of DE Osi Umenyiora, everything is just fine!









The Bills are losing? Hmm I wonder if this caramel something to the left (Aaron Maybin) needs comforting?













Browns traded you? Something tells me you'll be just fine Braylon!



So Ladies...as Redskins Safety Laron Landry gives me all I need in life with that first picture I posted, let's discuss...which football players got you (get you) into the game?

Who are your favorite football hotties??
