"I am certain to hit a pedestrian"

My kids had to be downtown yesterday for a martial arts related thing. They had to be on the campus of Boise State University. Yesterday was homecoming at BSU. The area was crawling with Fanatics. Orange hair. Blue skin. Coors light. I am going to mock them since I couldn't get tickets.
My child, my eldest, asked for special permission once we got home to plug in the TV and turn on the game.
We don't watch TV.
I said yes.
That boy is not yet 12 and he has the Testosterone- Football Gene! He was yelling at the TV. Stuff like "TAKE IT TO THE HOUSE!" and "WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU? MY MOTHER COULD HAVE CAUGHT THAT BALL!!"
It was very annoying.
Ok, he didn't really say the bit about me catching that ball. I made that part up.
He was yelling like crazy, though. Without beer. I always thought it was beer that made men act like that in front of a game.

Okay, so it's not just men. You get me involved in a World Cup game (I'm not interested in American football, but REAL football I am) and I'll shout at the TV just like anyone else. Just ask Grandpa.

I know, I know. I shout too, but I try not to acknowledge it in public. It's just so funny to hear M' doing it!
