Things NFL Fans Say During Football Games

As the NFL (National Football League) season is starting to end, there are a few things that are said during most games. Some of the things that happen during football games leave us scratching our heads and wondering what just happened. The list below is some things that are said while watching NFL football games.


1. "Where is the flag?!?!"

If you watch football you know what I'm talking about. The referees don't make the best calls sometimes, including when everyone but the referees sees a penalty that should have been called.

2. "He was in or out of bounds!!!!"

Some catches that are made can be questionable, especially when the catch is close to being out of bounds. When this happens a coach can challenge the ruling on the field. Once the referees view the play again they will either reverse the ruling on the field or keep the ruling on the field; if the refs keep the ruling on the field the team that challenged the play will lose a time-out.

3. "What was that?"

I think this one is self-explainable. There are some plays that happen that 'What was that?' is the only thing that you can say.

4. "Throw the ball!"

Some teams don't have the best running game or aren't great at running the ball. Which means some quarterbacks just need to throw the ball.

5. "Run, boy, run!"

Your team has the ball and is taking the ball down the field.

6. "How did you drop that?"

You caught the ball, you are running the ball, and you randomly drop the ball. No one is near you, but you still manage to drop the ball. The only question us fans have for you is 'How?'

7. "He was wide open!"

Dear quarterback, you have a receiver that is wide open, but you still throw the ball to your receiver that has two or three people on him. WHY DO YOU DO THIS???

8. "SACKED"

A sack can either be a good thing or a bad thing. It depends on if your getting sacked or if you're the team that's getting sacked.


There are several other things that are said and sometimes yelled during an NFL game, but the list would be never-ending if I were to put all of them here.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
