As previously outlined, I am giving football a chance on Sunday. In preparation I spoke with two of the sport’s utmost experts, Steve Kerns and Travis Lavin. Travis stepped up as the Professor of the Pigskin by developing this neat little cocktail napkin guide. Thanks TLav!

As many of you are aware, I’m not a big fan of football. In fact, I don’t like it.
Don’t confuse my dislike for football with disliking sports overall. I love hockey (naturally), like baseball and am a big NCAA basketball fan. Football has just never clicked for me. Maybe it’s because I’m from Canada, a place with a professional football league of nine teams that features two teams with the same name. Clearly we aren’t really paying attention.
Living in America and not liking football can be limiting and perhaps it’s the last thing that keeps me from fully assimilating in this country. Am I resisting liking football to hold onto my Canadian identity or is it really that I don’t like the game? (Not to say that there aren’t Canadians who love the NFL, believe me, there are)
It seems like there are a lot of reasons I should like football. A large part of football’s culture is already incorporated into my every day life. E.g. : beer, parties in parking lots and big black men in tight pants. These are reasons enough for me to consider giving football another chance. Being able to understand Twitter on Sunday’s would be cool too.
So next Sunday, I am going to watch football. I will study up on the rules beforehand, I will Tweet about my experience, and I will do so while drinking beer. Let me know if you are having an NFL viewing event that you would like to invite me to, I’m sure I could use some instruction.
