Why are guys so nuts about football?

Why do guys like football so much?


It seems that all boys go into auto mode during football season. Bragging about their favorite team, prepping for game day and don’t even think about disturbing them when the game is actually on. But why do boys love football so much? What is so thrilling about a group of fat men in tight pants throwing a ball around and tackling each other? And all that effort just to get the ball over a line seems a bit silly.


Think of it this way: Football for guys is what shopping is for girls. It is a time when they can get together and bond over something they have in common. Although they get a bit more rowdy over a touch down than we do about a major sale at the mall, it is their way of celebrating and who are we to stand in their way.
 
Wearing their fave team's jersey and chanting the fight song may seem over the top, but it is how they choose to spend their “guy time.” So, next time the big game is on don’t pester him about watching something useless, and let him spend the day with his guys. Take it as a free pass to hit the mall with your BFFs for your bonding day.

If you ask me it's there sport and just let them be them. Make use of it and ask them what there fav. Team is (Mines "Da Bears") and start a conversation bout how you think the will lose to your team. That will keep you giz in touch a lot. And when you hear they will play be like " Bet they will lose " and see what he says then pretend to change your mind and go for his team !!!
Good Luck !!! ( It worked for me and my BFFs. ) Hope it works for you too =P

1. Say your name 10 times.
2. Say your mom's name 5 times.
3. Say your crush's name 3 times.
4. Paste this to 4 other quizzes. If you do this, your crush will kiss you on the nearest Friday, but if you read this and do not paste this, then you will have very bad luck! SEND THIS TO 5 QUIZZES IN 143 MINUTES. WHEN YOU'RE DONE PRESS F6 AND YOUR CRUSH'S NAME WILL APPEAR IN BIG LETTERS ON THE SCREEN. THIS IS SO FREAKY BECAUSE IT ACTUALLY WORKS
