Football nerdiness:
On Sunday I took my kids to the NE game. My 6 year old Will was almost crying after the Brady interception with 2 minutes and change to go. I am giving him a hug and people are streaming out of the stadium.
My son Will, after the boneheaded interception by Brady "Why are so many people leaving?"
Me "They are mad about the game and going to their cars. They think they are going to beat traffic."
Will "I am not ready to go. I don't think they can win though"
Me "I don't think so either, but we stay to the end and root for our team. They might get the ball back."
Will "If they get the ball back, they better throw it to Julian Edelman in the middle and Kembrell Thompkins on the sidelines."
Me- 5 minutes later- Whoah.
Nice. I hate the early leavers.
What's Gillette like for a 6 year old? I can't imagine taking my son to an NFL game.
Not too bad. A lot of public drunkenness, but language was reasonable. He knows a lot about football and the players numbers, and he has to stand on his chair to see, so he stands out. People come from all over to give him high fives.I wouldn't have brought him yet, but he was desperate to go. With all going on related to BB and Chance, I figured - why not? What is the worst that will happen. He is so damn cute, saints fans tailgating gave us a bunch of very tasty jambalaya. Also, hot chicks from 18-40 seek him out to talk to him. He openly gropes them, they stare at hand on their breast, he laughs like a 6 six year old without removing his hand, they laugh and don't move his hand.
This happens everywhere. So, he is good to have around on multiple levels.
