Football Season- sigh

I have learned in the last few months that I have a boyfriend that likes Football. I suppose his growing up in Texas and playing football himself might have something to do with that. At the moment we are into the playoff games of 2013 (or is it still the 2012 season? I really have no concept of how they label seasons of sports) The current game is Green Bay Packers vs. Minnesota Vikings- Greenbay is winning by 19 points so far. Since learning of this football "enjoyment" lets call it, I have been learning many things about the game. I will take this time to list them out since the game is playing and talking isnt encouraged.

1. The Running Back runs with the ball- makes sense right? I guessed that one all on my own
2. The Quarter Back does not give out quarters like the name implies, instead he throws the ball. Seems like they should call him the Toss back or the Throw back but I suppose that doesnt sound as cool or something. Actually it should be the Toss Forward or Throw Forward since thats the direction the ball goes.
3. Apparently while watching a game one should not yell out "Run little man, Run!" This is apparently not proper football watching etiquette.
4. Also saying "aww, the little man fell down" is considered not ok language. This strikes me as interesting since there isnt a single offensive word in that statement and some of the language people use while watching a game is nothing but offensive. (Bf is not one of the foul mouth ones just to clarify)
5.Never try to talk to a male when the game is on. Period
6. It amazes me the people that are chosen to play football. Almost all of them have HORRIBLE balance and sense of direction. I mean they run back and forth on a field and constantly trip over and into one another creating large piles on the field then they have to line up and start it all over again.
7. A game consists of 4 quarters, each quarter is 15 minutes long. This equals a 1 hour game. WRONG! The current game has been going for 2.25 hours so far and there is still 16 minutes left on the clock. Figure 45 minutes per quarter so far that means the total game will be 3 hours long. Need I say more?
 8. If team A throws the ball and team B knocks the ball out of team A's hand while team A's hand is going forward it is called an incomplete pass and the play starts over, still team A's ball. If the ball is knocked out of team A's hand while it is not in motion and is then grabbed by team B, it is called a fumble and is then team B's ball. See I actually learned something not amusing. Not quite sure how I feel about that....

I think thats all I have learned from the current game. Not to bad, 8 things in 2.33 hours when Im not even really paying attention
