THE FEMALE FAN

As I was watching some internet news clips on FOX, I saw an interview with a woman named Betsy Burns who has a blog on Ivillage.com called The Female Fan. Berns is the author of The Female Fan Guide to Pro Football, Win, Place and Show: A Female Fan's Guide to Thoroughbred Racing and The Female Fan Guide to Motorsports. She has served as a consultant to the National Football League, for which she developed, designed and implemented its Football 101 instructional series for women, now offered by the league in every NFL market. She's also a frequent contributor to and guest on national and regional radio and television. Being a female fan myself, I was extremely excited to have uncovered this gem, so I just had to check it out! My favorite part of the blog was her Football 101 posts because it explained key aspects of the game as written by a female to females. Sorry guys, but when you explain football stuff to us women, you don't give us enough detail and our eyes glaze over and we act like we get what you just said! *That's why we keep asking the same questions over & over* In all fairness to you guys, though, we women tend to ask football questions at precicely the wrong moments during the game! Right?! Anyway, I was happily reading the Girls Guide to the Super Powl post and happened to come across a poll to see which player was the sexiest! Now Come ON!!! It was called Sunday Night's Sexiest and it had a dozen or so players you could vote for. I guess that was there for the women who only wanted to know the bare minimum about FB to slightly impress their man but got bored and wanted to cure their craving for "People Magazine" type fodder! The only way this would be interesting to me would be if I could see a few of the NFL's "sexiest men" engage in an informal game of FB with a few of People's "sexiest men alive" to see who comes out the real winners! Slightly off topic, I know, but very, very funny to imagine! BTW, I just had to check to see who was winning so far, and it was @#$%& Tom Brady! Ah ha-too bad that's the only thing he's winning this year!
