The NFL Playoffs and Me

Donna Cavanagh
The football season is winding down
Playoffs have sent the first teams home
The Saints and Colts have lost their footing
Maybe the best teams don't play in a dome

Today we have the EagIes and Packers
Ravens and Chiefs will light up the field
Who will join the Jets and Seahawks in victory
Or who will go home; their losing fates sealed?

Ah, the NFL season, It is winding down
Some losing coaches have already tumbled
Others waiting to see their fate
Will their careers continue or crumble?

I live and breathe the NFL
I write on stats, team perfomance and games
Each week, I watch every down
Each player I know - both their positions and names

Some say it is not a ladylike job
Some men do not like a woman in the huddle
They make comments or little sexist jokes
I get their point - they are not subtle

But they can laugh or feel superior
They can believe with sports they are king
But with my NFL site, I might know in advance
Who is going to the big dance to get that ring

    I am glad you have this passion. I wish I did! Any woman who can sit with her man and keep up with the whole thing is a star, and you shine very bright. :)

    I'm an SEC fan by marriage, NFL'ers call me amateur. Oh well, my husband's team, Auburn, is on tonight - War Eagle.
