SPOTLIGHT DRUDGE

I love football.  I love American football specifically.  The Spanish word for soccer “futbol” is used so often that when talking to an American a foreigner has to differentiate the two by saying “AMERICAN football.”  The rest of the world does not care at all about our American Football.  We do though.  Some of us worship football.  My Dad sure did.  On one special Sunday some big playoff games were on.  My mother had us going to mass every Sunday, "religiously".  Now that I was ten though my Dad explained to my mother that the boy was “old enough to make his own decision.”  My Dad is smart.  I felt really empowered.  With my Mom standing there scowling at me, shaking her head in the “you better not” direction I was not entirely sure what I should do.  My father seemed to have everything under control.  “Now Art, do you want to stay home with your Dad, eat hamburgers, chips, drink some cokes on ice and watch football?
