My First NFL Game

Experiencing a great game

53
My First NFL Game

It's a Saturday morning as the Cowboys and Rams kick off the first pre-season game in Los Angeles. I wake up with excitement as I am about to experience my first ever NFL game with my Dad. As the clock ticks into the afternoon I get my Terrell Owens jersey ready to wear. As the time showed two o' clock, it was time for us to drive to the Universal City subway station.

Five stops late,r since the arrival of the station, we finally see a herd of Cowboys and Rams fans getting to the next train to get to their final destination, which is the Coliseum. After the final stop, my Dad and I made our way through a crowd of tailgating fans around the stadium. I finally realized that it was the start of a great season for the Rams' first game in California. After scanning our tickets we see people with Rams gears from retro up to the current jerseys. As we go through a long dark tunnel of our section we see a small light getting bigger as we move forward.

As it finally opened up, there showed the beautiful field with the NFL logo at the 50 yard line. Watching the Cowboys and Rams practice before game time made me feel more hyped for the season to start. Even though we had a far view I was able to see Tony Romo, Dez Bryan, and Jason Witten. The down fall was that Romo and Witten didn't play.

When it finally came to introduce both teams, the crowd made a big, hatefulness roar towards the Cowboys. As for me, I was the only one clapping it up for them. Before introducing the Rams, I felt the love people had towards the team. It was the moment I realized that these people were waiting a long time for this moment as they showed excitement. As the Rams were entering the field through the tunnel, the fans cheered on. Now it was game time.

The Cowboys started the game with a tempo as they made the first touchdown of the game on the kickoff. The Rams struggled in the first quarter as the Cowboys were leading 14-7. The second quarter was no different as the Cowboys made a touchdown and a field goal to end the first half. Rams fans knew they were down but they didn't care as the game over turned in the start of the second half. The Rams tried to catch up as they made a touchdown in the third quarter with a score of 21-14. In the fourth quarter, the Rams finally caught up as they were down by three points. About two minutes left in the game the Rams took the lead to make the score 24-28. In the final seconds, the Cowboys weren't able to make another touchdown.

After seeing a good game, I was very happy to finally watch my Cowboys play for the first time. Even though it was a loss, no disappointment showed on my face. With the Rams getting their first win, I can't wait to see what the regular season has in store. That was my first experience in an NFL game.

What is "talking?" How does one "talk?"

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
