Football? What's a football??

Football Widow in a whole different way...
I'm the one who likes it in my family. I'm the ONLY one. You can't have a good holiday without a good game. For those of you who roll your eyes and hate it...you should at least know appropriate comments to make....in order to not look lame.
Ok, here are some good phrases to fake if you need to fit in...

"oooooooh" - whenever a shot is taken at the goal, no matter how close. (If especially close, a short round of clapping is permissible)

"Bad call, Ref!!!" - if your players are fouled

[silence] - if your players foul the other team's

"PENALTY!" - if one of your players falls anywhere near the opponents' goal

"Run, baby! RUN!!!" - when one of your players is heading goal-wards with the ball

"Unlucky" - when said player is effortlessly dispossessed by a 230 pound defender.

HOWEVER...
if you really want to understand a little:

Here's a little quick reference to what's going on:
Basic rules are that 11 players must be on the field for one team at a time. Someone going in for another player means that other player has to hustle OFF the field fast or it’s a penalty for too many men on the field. There has to be 7 men on the scrimmage line (the imaginary line where the ball is placed after a play...a team can't cross it until the next play starts) for offense and they all have to be set and motionless for at least one second before the ball is snapped. If someone moves, it’s a false start or depending on what they’re doing; an illegal motion penalty. The offense has 25 seconds to call a play.
The offense has four downs (four plays) to try to move the ball 10 yards. If the offensive team advances the ball at least 10 yards in four tries or fewer, it receives another set of four downs. If the offense has failed to advance 10 yards after three tries, the team usually punts the ball on the fourth down (to the other team). The other team then begins with its own set of four downs, traveling toward their own goal. The phrase "three and out." means that a team has failed to advance the ball 10 yards on its first set of downs and is forced to kick to turn over possession to the other team.
Most of the terms in ref calls are self explanatory, but some are not (like in last night’s Colts/Charger game when there was a “touchback”). A touchback is when the ball crosses into the end zone and it’s not in control of the team which put it into play. Whichever team is awarded the touchback gets possession of the ball on their own 20 yard line. Then the downs start over for them.
