I don’t subscribe to the theory women have to be admitted into the male sports team locker-room before everything in the universe can whir along blissfully.

In reverse, I don’t think men should have to insert themselves into every venture women wish to take on.

As a person who has followed sports for many years, I can tell you that a fan can instantly tell when someone who hasn’t played the game starts making color commentary.

For this reason, the people I have enjoyed listening to most, are the people who have played the game. They know what it’s like to think under pressure, take the big hit, deliver the big hit, and participate in the game winning play.

The Barbie types that make decent eye-candy are okay, if that’s what you’re into, although I don’t know why involve football in it if that’s your context.

Having some 5’ 0” 98 pound woman explain the finer workings of a game played by 6.5 225 - 300 pound men seems downright weird.

OK, now let’s all hold hands and enjoy the cake that Mikey brought to practice today. Oh, you all look so nice color coordinated like your are. Now you, I’d like for you to toss that oblong thing on the ground down toward the H and lets see who gets there first to catch it.

And speaking of confession, priests are into hearing confessions and football players are into confessing in hearings

Thought most of your comparisons were a bit corny. But THAT one made it all worth it.

I'm a Vikings fan. So never.

As a one-time season ticket holder, I thought it was a humorous premise... I liked the comparison!

I nominate Salma Hayek. I would root for whatever team she coached.
