Ladies, stop applying Latisse to the cover of your Tudors Season 2 DVDs for a minute—long, luxurious lashes aren't gonna help Anne Boleyn anyway. (After all, she's a made-up character!) With The Big GameBowl this weekend, there is something way more important to do: learn football.
Even if you have no interest in football it's important to understand football because it's football. So what is football? It may sound like something your pedicurist who can't speak English would say, but, in fact, it's a sport! A really, really complex sport with players (those are the people who play the sport), and different team colors (so you can tell the teams apart—genius, right?), and a ball (so cute), and rules (these are things the players can't break, kind of like the guidelines for applying Bare Escentuals) and stuff.
If it all sounds pretty overwhelming, that's because it is. As Game Day Barbie would say (if she existed): "Football is hard!" Luckily, The Today Show put together a segment to help us gals understand everything we need to know about watching people throw around the skin of pigs (football term).
That was so thorough! It was exactly like M'Lynn's speech in Steel Magnolias about why losing her daughter Shelby made her so angry, except emotionless and about football.
You probably still have a couple of unanswered questions like "Where is Indianapolis?" and "What are points?" but just stick to the game day lingo ("The Saints are the ones in black and gold.") and try to enjoy yourself and have fun. Win teams!
