Women and Football.

[ArtMonkDrillz]

My grandmother, an 80 year old mother of 13, has to tape the games and watch them only after she already knows the final score because otherwise she will get too worked up when things aren't going the Redskins' way. She might see that the Skins got their butts kicked, but she'll still watch the game, just to see why it happened.
She told me that she couldn't sleep fall asleep the night of the Monday Night Miracle so she got up around 2am, and fast-forwarded the tape to check the final score. When she heard Al and John talk about the amazing outcome she got so excited that she rewound to the beginning and watched the entire game until the sun came up.
To this day she gives me crap because I bought a ravens hat in college (I was young and dumb and my roommate was a big fan and I still regret that purchase) even though I have become a born-again Redskins fan. I think I'm finally starting to win back some of her respect, but it will take more time. Every time I see her we talk about the Skins for at least 15 minutes, regardless of what else is going on around us. The last time I saw her was the day of the draft, and she had very strong opinions about Landry and the overall direction of the team.
Because of her I'd like to say that the vast majority of the women in my family (and we're Irish Catholic so you know it's a huge family) a very intelligent and passionate Redskins/football fans.
