football fan

i've always been an american football fan, but at some point between dating nat and now, i've become a football fan. it's a little mind boggling to me b/c i used to think that football was so boring. so boring, in fact, that i would fall asleep while watching an "exciting and high scoring" game with nat. now, i appreciate the game much more, and i can sound semi-intelligent talking about a game. in fact, i even get excited when i watch a game. for example, here are some things that i found myself saying yesterday watching the usa vs mexico gold cup final game:

• "why isn't keller starting?"
• "come on, that wasn't a foul, he dove!"
• "beasley! i can't believe he didn't make that shot!"
