"Any woman who likes quizzes or puzzles could really get into this game," Robinson Peete told the Daily News. "It's not just a bunch of guys running around in tight pants, slapping each other on the butt - not that there's anything wrong with that!"
To get started, Robinson Peete said, you need to learn the basics - identify your team's quarterback. In the case of the Jets, of course, that's rookie superstar Mark Sanchez.
"Mark Sanchez is super-duper hot, so you're lucky," she said. "If you can find him on the field, you know your team is on offense."This is of interest to me for two reasons: one, Holly Robinson Peete is on my all-time "I gottsta hit that shit" team. I haven't seen every episode of Hangin' with Mr. Cooper because I like the story arcs, for chrissake.
Robinson Peete said that eventually, even the most reluctant fan will realize football is "a full-on, strategic chess match."
Also, while in college I wrote a modest proposal explaining to women how they could learn to love the game, which I have now found in my archives. Normally my completely unfounded arrogance would lead me to post the paper on Xmastime, but at this moment I am both too lazy and not drunk enough to do that. Maybe later. In the meantime, here are the professor's notes, aka "the only time a college professor in America happily suggested a student submit his work to Playgirl magazine." Well. I assume.
This is a very funny proposal, even better than the last one. I think it succeeds as satire, although a female reader might see it as sexist, ie the woman conforms to the man, cooks and cleans etc. But I think you make men out to be fairly idiotic - more of that would make the essay less problematic for Playgirl.
