Seems my whole family talks soccer….four knee replacements and several knee ‘clean-ups’ in the family. Once in a while I challenge the grand kids. Thankfully they are kind to me……
Never was interested in football while growing up, and didn’t pay any real attention to it in early adulthood. My wife of my 2nd marriage is a big football fan. Early in our marriage I began to watching football. Showing my past ignorance and previous disinterest in the game, I asked her how could a player have 127 yards, when the length of a football field in only 100 yards end to end? Her reply was “It’s cumulative yards ran throughout the game dummy.” (true story) Never asked another football related question again.
Ah, another Sport’s Wife asking dumb questions. When I go into the wife’s sewing room, I just ask how it’s going and let her talk. Sorry Brutus, I know your pain….
My wife was raised in a basketball town, the first time I took her to a pro baseball game it was a learning experience for her. As the game progressed many questions were asked and answered, then our starting pitcher got into serious trouble and the manager walked from the dugout to ask for a new hurler, my lady companion exclaimed, WOW that player is really fat, remember in basketball coaches don’t wear an uniform.

It’s as to explain the soccer “ouside” rule to a woman . I’m sexist ? Ask and few of them will answer correctly .

It could be hockey. That said, who ever scores the next goal.

What’s the old line?
It’s a 0 – 0 tie. The game hasn’t started yet…

Sometimes I think the combined IQ of the Thornapple family would not break 100.
