The Football Fan

As an avid football fan, I watch every Green Bay Packer game that I am able to see on TV. My wife has a rudimentary knowledge of the American game of football since her understanding of football would be considered European. My wife spent the first 16 years of her life growing up in England before immigrating to the United States with her parents in 1980. I enjoy explaining the intricate details of the game to her as we watch my favorite team. It certainly enhances our relationship when we can enjoy sharing conversation during what might appear to be a primitive sport.
