these moves

Football is like dance. Unchoreographed, freestyle, groove however you want kind of dance.

the beauty of the game

Perfect pass down the line... unbelievable. There he goes. All the way down... past first down... 30 yards...  50... touchdown, Trojans!

Football is rarely the glam and glory it appears to be from the stands or on TV. Sometimes - most times - football is messy. When you freeze the action at 1/1000 of a second, you get the real picture of what the game is made of: dog piles, human knots, wrestling, group hug sessions, Fight Club, 300 lbs flying around, bruises forming, the Heimlich, and sometimes on accident, illusions like little guys pushing giants by the gluteus maximus. Chaos, savagery, and testosterone overload. 

so close, yet so far

Sometimes you are at the right place at the right time but you're not used to the camera you borrowed, and it doesn't focus on the right subject.

So you cry. And release deep anguish via an all-too-real sigh.

And make an oath to come to the next game, with a different set of equipment. Immediately, you wonder, why do I do this to myself?
