Why Women Resent Football - And Why They Shouldn't

Football is just a game. But the way some men carry on about it all through football season! You'd think... well, you'd think Brett Favre was a candidate for the Other Woman.


And the playoffs!!! Don't get us started. Of course, what with that sexy half-time show and all those funny commercials, it's a little tough for anyone with a sense of humor to hate the Super Bowl.


But it's a long, long time from the August NFL preseason to that smokin' February finale.


And let's admit it: too often during the interim, the conduct of some segments of the male species becomes downright rude, even going so far as to ignore their mates as if they were the Ugly Ducklings and Tony Romo and the Boys were the feted Homecoming Queens.


So your resentment is definitely understandable.


The main problem with resentment, however, is that it defeats your purpose. Assuming your purpose is to be Numero Uno in the heart and mind of your beloved.


And not just from March through July.


Frankly, resentment is not a pretty thing. Granted, jealousy can be kind of cute. Within limits. An occasional, "Oh, Sweetheart! Don't tell me you're jealous?" can even be a bit of an aphrodisiac.


But even the word 'resentment' sounds sullen. The turned-down disapproving mouth, the evil eye that, trust us, does nothing for your sexiness quotient.


So let's move away from that connotation-laden epithet, Football. Let's say that the Other Woman is not Tony Romo, but an actual Homecoming Queen look-alike. We'll call her Margot.


Maybe your Dearly Beloved met Margot at night class, or in the office, or wherever. But her name gets dropped from time to time. And you notice, when that happens, that all males present at the time (including your DB) get that annoyingly sappy look on their faces.


What to do?


Please. Do we have to tell you? Invite Margot to dinner, of course. Preferably a really big blowout dinner, like Thanksgiving or whatever holiday thing you're in to. You know: where The Family is assembled like a huge billboard trumpeting the Sanctity of the Home.


Then - welcome her! Embrace her! Oh, Margot, I've heard so much about you! How delightful to finally meet you! And yada yada yada.


See, joining yourself to the potential - errr - distraction puts you in the same visual frame as your... oh, we do hate to say this, but it is that it is: your competition.


So too, Football. Now's your chance: learn enough in the off season so that you actually know when to cheer and when to boo. Speaking of which, once you allow yourself to know what's going on (and, yes: that really is what it amounts to), all that yelling can be quite cathartic.


It really does get the blood flowing. And that can be a good thing.


Especially during the post game...


Bob Brooker and Kaye O'Dougherty believe that, as the old song says, "love is the answer." To just about everything. Including the twin scourges of The TV Clicker Wars and the loneliness of Football Widowhood, both of which can drag mercilessly on from August NFL pre-season through the February Super Bowl. So they wrote Football is for Lovers to show you how easy it is to stop the madness and start sharing the game. Among other things. Football is for Lovers shows you a whole new way of looking at football that is based on intimacy, romance, sex, and M&Ms. Maybe even a little whipped cream.

Seven Weeks in to the Season and Dallas Cowboys Football is Riding High

Dallas Cowboys Football at it's best for sure. It was the battle of the 5-0s - New England vs. the Dallas Cowboys. Who would come out the victor with a perfect 6-0 record and who would fall to 5 -1. The game had all the makings of a classic including two first rate quarterbacks, Tom Brady and Tony Romo, and two colorful receivers, Randy Moss and Terrell Owens.


On this day, in the end, it was not to be for the Dallas Cowboys as the New England Patriots proved to be a very mighty opponent. It took a lot for Tom Brady and the Patriots offense to stave off the Dallas Cowboys. With little running game, until the fourth quarter when the Dallas defense had become weary, Tom Brady was the story of the game passing through the air completing 31 of 46 passes, for 388 yards and five touchdowns (a career game best for him).


When it appeared as if momentum was shifting to the Cowboys, Brady and the Patriots offense proved to be too much for the Dallas defense. Eventually New England ran away with the game winning 48-27. The Cowboys gave it a good go and never stopped trying. With their first loss of the season behind them the Cowboys looked ahead to their next opponent at home, the Minnesota Vikings. Having learned some lessons and grown as a team the Cowboys were eager to face off against the Vikings who had won five straight over Dallas. The Cowboys got off to a good start as Romo led his team down field on a 14 play, 80 yard drive that ended in a five-yard touchdown pass to Terrell Owens.


The Vikings answered back with a touchdown of their own evening the score at seven. The Vikings struck again scoring a defensive touchdown following a Cowboys fumble and closed out the half with a 14-7 lead. In the second half the Cowboys took advantage of great field position to tie the game. A blocked field goal in the third quarter resulted in a return and touchdown for Dallas making the score 21-14. A field goal in the fourth quarter clinched the game as the Cowboys went on to a 24-14 victory over the Minnesota Vikings.


Following Week 7 the Cowboys find themselves with a 6-1 record. They have a bye this week - time to reflect a little on the season thus far and time to fully concentrate on the season ahead. The team is eager to get back on the field and determined to win. The Cowboys next face the Philadelphia Eagles in Philadelphia. Hopes are riding high for the fans and the players.

How to Throw a Football Like Tony Romo

It is always best if you want to be a great football passer like Tony Romo to start young. You can always pick up those skills but it works better if you learn them early because it can be more difficult to change bad habits.


Tony Romo is one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL and has guided the Dallas Cowboys to another exciting season. Many people may ask themselves if they can grip and throw a football like Romo. It is good if you have large hands because it makes it easier to grip the ball.


Next you want to study the way Romo rotates his shoulder when he throws the ball. It is important that you rotate your shoulder so that you can get the momentum behind the ball. It makes it easier for you to throw the ball 30 to 40 years if your timing with this is good. So practice this to get better at rotating.


Next the grip is one of the most important things you can do. You want to use the laces and put your last three finger over the laces so that it feels comfortable. You may need to practice this so that you get the grip that feel best for your hand. There are some variations form quarterback to quarterback but most of them grip this way.


Finally if you are just starting to throw the football then it is always better to learn how to throw it correctly form the beginning. It is hard to change the way you throw it if you have been taught a bad grip then starting with a great grip form the beginning.

A New Start for Dallas Cowboys Football Coach Wade Phillips at the Helm 2007


The launch of the 2007 Dallas Cowboys Football season is just days away. NFL fans everywhere are gearing up for the action and hoping for a stellar season for their team...none more so than Dallas Cowboys fans.

After a rough end to the 2006 season which saw the Cowboys lose a heart breaker to the Seattle Seahawks in the last minute of the first round of the play-offs, following a botched field goal hold by quarterback Tony Romo, fans are looking for a brighter, uneventful year ahead. The end of the 2006 season also marked the end for Cowboys head coach Bill Parcells.

As the new season of football begins the Dallas Cowboys will take to the field with a quarterback, who has something to prove, and with a new head coach at the helm. On February 8, 2007, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones announced that Wade Phillips would be taking over as the Dallas Cowboys head coach.

A native of Texas, Phillips attended the University of Houston where he spent three years as a starter at linebacker. His coaching career began with the Houston Oilers where he held the position of defensive line coach under head coach O.A. "Bum" Phillips, his father. The father and son coaching duo then moved on to the New Orleans Saints where Bum Phillips stepped down in 1985 as coach of the struggling team. Wade Phillips was named interim coach. From there Wade Phillips moved to defensive coordinator of the Philadelphia Eagles, followed by the Denver Broncos.

In 1993 Phillips replaced out going Coach Dan Reeves as head coach of the Broncos. By the 1995 season he had moved on to coach the Buffalo Bills, his most successful coaching stint to date, followed by the Atlanta Falcons. For the past three seasons Phillips has held the position of defensive coordinator with the San Diego Chargers. His move to the position of Dallas Cowboys head coach comes at a time when he is considered one of the best defensive minds in football. Cowboys' owner Jerry Jones is said to have interviewed 10 potential head coaches before determining that Phillips was the man to lead his team.

There is a sense of optimism as teams get ready to begin their season and the road to Super Bowl XLII - fans all across the NFL are hopeful that this could be the year for their team. The season ahead for the Dallas Cowboys is bright. When the team kicks off against the NY Giants on September 9, there's little doubt that all eyes will be on Tony Romo and the new man at the helm, Wade Phillips.
