They Really Can't Hear You

I have never gotten it. I mean I've tried. The Lord knows I have given it time. My wife has been involved with it since middle school and my in laws are definitely into it. It's getting to be that time of year. It's a Texas high school tradition. Yet here I sit on a sultry August night under the Friday night lights of the local football game, and I still don't get it.

I have tried for years but I still find football to be about the most uninteresting thing going. All the running and throwing and chasing the little ball- I just don't see what all the fuss is about.

But the thing I really don't get are the "talkers.". You know, the people that sit in the stands and talk to the players on the field... Their eyes are fixed on the action and they start saying things like "C'mon defense!" or "Gittem 42!" or "Gawn hold em!"

I really don't get it. For the life of me I can't figure out who they are talking to. It's not the rest of the crowd because they are right there watching the game. It can't be the players can it? Maybe if I yelled at the players I'd like football more. Still, I can't help but wonder if the "talkers" know that they really can't hear you...
