Okay, I'm getting a late start this week, but I think you'll enjoy this one. I'm reading a tiny little book called A Sportscaster's Guide to Watching Foorball by Mark Oristano. I certainly don't need the game explained to me, but it's the season and the book is fun so far. I had to scroll through and read the "Cool Things to Say During the Game" and thought I would share one with you:
"Cool Thing to Say During Game #14:
When the punter does launch the ball too high and too far, and you see the punt returner threading his way through huge holes for a nice return, click your tongue and announce, "He outkicked his coverage."
Now that will help you sound knowledgable at your next football brunch! Unfortunately, I haven't found anything in the book so far to explain the Cleveland Browns this season, but you never know.

That's very good! Football has some amazing jargon - I always like it when they say "he ran around his own end!" Great teaser for the season.
This sounds like a fun and entertaining book. I do like watching football!
Confession time - I do not understand American football at all! Want to talk soccer or Australian Rules Football and I am your girl!
Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my Teaser Tuesday post.
I could use this section of the book. I need to say more than, "Wow, what a kick." Great teaser.
Man, sports always go way over my head. Perhaps I should read this to have something to say when people around me start talking football!
Funny teaser, I should buy that book for my bestfriend, she will love commenting when her hubby is watching.
My Teaser is here.

Maybe I need to read this and watch some football with my husband, especially with the Saints season so far.
That's perfect for football season. :-)
I'm not much of a football person, but this book could be useful at times. ~ Calico Contemplations
I'm definitely getting that book. My husband and sons are going to flip when I actually make an intelligent comment! Thanks!
Would come in very handy if only I watched football ;)
I need all the help I can get when it comes to football!
I'm not a football fan, but it sounds like fun.
Sound like a fun read!
Teaser Tuesdays: Yes, My Darling Daughter by Margaret Leroy
Outkicked? I'm no football fan but this sounds fun!
I agree with Margot. "Great throw", "Great pass", etc only go so far.
Hmmm maybe now it will seem like I know what's going on at the next football game.
Wow, this book will make me SOUND a lot smarter than I am while I'm slamming down Budweisers in front of a wide screen TV.

Haha this is a great teaser. Now my male friends will actually think I understand football (although, sometimes I think I understand it more than they do)
great teaser, I'd like this book! Thanks for stopping by.
Great football teaser! And there is really no explaining the Browns :(
I loved this book! Even my hubby, who knows everything about football (according to me) enjoyed this book. :)
Here's my Teaser! ~ Wendi
Ha! Love that tip. I understand completely what's going on, but I can never think of the words like the sportscasters can. Sounds like a fun little guide. Great teaser!
Thanks for coming by my blog!
Sounds like a useful guide - football jargon leaves me feeling like people are speaking another language
Oh, that was good. Thanks for visiting my teaser.
I'm clueless about everything football. This sounds like a good book to read.
