Are You a Football Fan?

Big guys who make a very good living pushing people around seem to think it should work off the field too.

It’s football season again

Violent, semi-organized mayhem

Hit, block and bruise

Are the skills that they use

On the field, and back home with their women.

I have always wondered how the refs can be sure exactly where forward progress stopped when there are 6 or 8 guys in a pile.  It just might be possible that the ball moved while they were unpiling.

The referee’s first down decision

Measured with absolute precision

With the ball buried deep

Under men in a heap

Means the refs must have X ray vision.
