I wish I would have known that!

Ky has been on a football team for a total of three weeks now and I have learned more about football in these three weeks than I ever knew. No wonder I have always hated football, I never understood it. All I knew is that there were tightends (both as a position and as something to look at), a quarterback, receiver and a bunch of other guys. I still don't know all the positions or how football is played. But I am starting to understand that every position has a job to do on each play. This whole time I thought it was all about the quarterback and whomever he threw the ball to. Today I learned that players are only allowed to tackle someone if they have the ball. That makes sense, I just didn't know that.

It is fun to watch Ky run through a bunch of guys to sack the quarterback. It is also fun to watch as people try to tackle him and he just keeps on running till there are five or six guys trying to take him down at the same time. He is still learning and is not the star of the football team by any means, but it sure is fun to see him playing so well.

My complaint is that when I do try to watch Ky at practice, Zander spends the whole time jumping all over me. All the parents watch as I hold him down as a punishment. What more can I do, spank him?
