Collective Conscious

Through years of living with a football focused family I have picked up a general idea about what goes on during a football game and what a football team consists of.

1. There are two major facets of a football team, the offense and the defense.
2. The Quarterback is almost always charming and terribly good looking
3. The offense are the guys who run with or catch the ball, when it is thrown by the charming and good looking Quarterback. Also on offense are big men who protect the Quarterback
4. The defense are the guys who try to flatten the other team's charming and good looking Quarterback.
5. There are also other parts of the team, called special teams. I am still foggy on this but I think the kicking team is part of special teams. I am not sure, but remember I am still learning all the nuances of the game.
6. A touchdown is 6 points, then the team that scored the touchdown then has the opportunity to score and extra point, by kicking the ball which if the ball goes where it is suppose to will provide the team with a total of 7 points.
7. Football is complicated.
8. People can and often do get really hurt playing this game.

So there are some of the things I knew going into my football education. There is a whole lot more for me to know, and I can't wait to find out what I have been missing!!
