You mean "what's going on?" The guy in the blue jersey with the football in his hand is Patriot quarterback Tom Brady. He's looking for an open teammate to throw that ball to... and just when he's about to... SACKED by a 6'5" 260 lbs beastie man Giant named Michael Strahan.
By the way, “sacked” means tackling the quarterback behind the line of scrimmage. Scrimmage is the imaginary line between the two teams where the ball is placed after the end of the previous play (following any penatly yards given). Nobody can cross it until the next play starts. More that you ever wanted to know? :p
Generally, when someone's declared illiterate, they mean they can understand some things, but not enough... Computer illiterate people use their computers effectively all day, just don't ask them to do anything other than write a letter or an e-mail.
So, I understand the basics of football... Just not enough to get a game going in the backyard without having to make up some rules along the way. :p
I knew what sacked meant. :p I knew about the line that can't be crossed until the next play starts... I didn't happen to know the terminology for that. Thanks for the clarification. :)

How's about a little background for the sports illiterate among us?

That's going right in my LOL Cats Photobucket album! :) Thanks... I knew you were useful for something! :p
Wow. I never knew anybody that actually had an exclusive folder for that stuff.
Huh.
That's *special*.
How do you think I easily destroyed you in our recent "LOLCat" war? I have many saved up for those occasions.
If you think I'm special, that's okay. I just won't give you a ride in my short, yellow bus!
