'3-0 For the First Time in 38 Years'
So, it's a beautiful Sunday afternoon in fall...and I don't know about the rest of you guys, but for me, that means I'm somewhere where there is a TV, watching as my team battles it out on a football field. And even when they aren't the ones playing, I usually watch whatever game is on, because I probably have at least one Fantasy player in the game. I love football season, and I still don't understand why we can't have football the rest of the year, too.
Although most women (and even some men) don't understand football or why the rest of us love it so much, to me it's pretty simple: it is about a concentrated effort, a strategy, to build something greater than yourself.
If you are still lost, let me help you out. I was in the military, so I really know what it means to develop comaraderie, to sit down and create a battle plan that makes you responsible for the safety of other people, and vice versa. You don't quit until the mission is over, either. Football is a bit like that. The team relies on each other, trusts each other, and learns the strategies they plan to use on the field. When they get out there, it becomes a violent struggle to accomplish the mission, together, and they must trust that they will each follow the plays so that they will all make it out, victorious.
In the end, everyone leaves the field, leaves the battlefield, beaten or broken. But victory will go to the ones who have trained to a higher level of excellence, both physically and cooperatively. In football, as in nearly every human conflict, no one man can win it all by himself. It takes the entire team to achieve that victory.
With that being said.....
GO CARDINALS!!! Hell yeah, baby!
