Running back
Do running back do?
Ha! I Caught ball
Come O’ Kansas, come can’t wait
To catch me yet
Ball caught, clutch against my chest
I run the ball a brisk running back receive,
Handoffs from run the ball.
Catch passes Kansas (catch me) if you can
I runnin to ya… running back

Dedicated verse to Calvin D. Jones
former Nebraska Football player
Super Bowl Champion for Green Bay Packers
Omaha Beef Football player
A football player named Zay
Made an exceptional play.
The ref called it flaunting,
But I thought it quite daunting.
Can't a guy celebrate a great day?
Both France and Australia were nil-nil until extra time when Aussie Alanna Kennedy’s misdirected header during a corner kick produced an own goal for France. The goal was disallowed for a foul inside the box by a French player. But Australia had more than luck on their side. Aussie goalie, Mackenzie Arnold, was a force to be reckoned with. The vanquished French coach Herve Renard said, “We came up against a Goliath of a goalie.” Then all it took was the late substitute Cortnee Vine to calmly convert the winning penalty kick. For the first time in their history, the host team Matildas are in the World Cup semifinals!
Vine’s PK winner
Matildas’ goalie Arnold—
France shown no merci
You never meant anything to me anyway.
If I twist my wrist and thrust it down,
I flick my hips and slip away.
If I smash my forearm into your grill,
this is how I get my thrill.
You never meant anything to me anyway.
I am just a player, playing for fun.
But when I begin to play for money,
I flick my hips and slip away.
Sometimes, brutality and reality collide.
Brothers and players stand side by side.
You never meant anything to me anyway.
Well-off fans and super-rich owners,
to the players, are nothing but donors.
I flick my hips and slip away.
The players always give their all,
but always are expendable.
You never meant anything to me anyway.
I flick my hips and slip away.
In the youthful years enamored to the essence
for the unsupressible passion for playing football,
I spent the quality time in the playground
every awaited evening till the sundown.
Having set my aspiring goal to become
a professional football player of national repute,
I practiced hard year after year,
but my destiny rolled a different dice.
In one game carelessly I broke my leg,
an injury from which I could never recover
to return to the playground as an avid player,
that’s how my sporting dream broke forever.
On the tract of time I played instead
the relentless games of life as ordained.
Some I won, but many I lost
in the playground of shifting goalpost.

There is some great news I have found:
Last year's Heisman Trophy winner is Philly bound.
The Eagles have a receiver in which they can take pride.
DeVonta Smith comes from Alabama's Crimson Tide.
He can catch the ball, and blaze down the field.
Plenty of yardage and points this young man can yield.
So in Philly, there should be some optimism this season.
This talented college player is the reason.

Bridge requires a square table
With a player on each side.
Exchange your greenback dollars
For slot machine quarters to provide.
A basketball team that hoops it up well
May make March Madness semis for a spell.
Pro golfers hit the greens in two pairs
Driving and putting to crowds gaping stares.
Mom and pop and two wee tots
All enjoying fresh pop tarts.
Brilliant fireworks adorn the sky
On Independence Day in July.
Football games divide in fifteen-minute parts
Broken up by uneven stops and starts.
By now you need read no more
Count the quatrains to sum the title score.

passing, throwing, catching,
receiving, holding, running,
close to scoring I got the ball running mis-tackled-Touchdown!

I have a football star in my family.
She is my granddaughter and she is thirteen.
A girly-girl when she is not playing defense.
A grizzly bear when she is playing on defense.
I will not get to see her play because I work
And her games start at 3:30 unless I take an hour off my work.
Her next game is her last game. I am debating...
I hear she is really good from my husband who was shocked
Last Thursday that a football game lasts two full hours.
He is not sports-oriented but got a kick out of it this time
Because he is related to a star player, the lone female player.
So did you picture her built like a tank?
She is built like a giraffe with super skinny
Tall legs. It is the beginning of eighth grade so
Of course she is still a head taller than the rest of the team- all boys.
Blue Browns-
no-win Browns
fans all down
How Not to Tackle-
helmet-to-helmet
player must forfeit
Offense Play Book-
move the chains
give defense pains
Picky Penalty-
False start jump
Five yard bump
Stopping the Clock-
get your down
out-of-bounds
Ref Needs Glasses-
head coach squeals
challenge flag wields

In the summer, some fans climb the walls
For a game that's been played many falls
And a player named Brady
Many folks found as shady
For some shifts in the size of his balls ...
An inspection made by Le Gendarme
Thus concluded, no cause for alarm
'Twasn't balls, frankly stated
Haters hopes were deflated
For the sake ... of his glorious arm!

A player whose name rhymes with Clooney
Got drunk and then drove - what a loony
Spent the night locked in jail
When released he looked pale
The outlook for him may be gloomy
He’ll get whacked with an enormous fine
But his club won't force him to resign
It would make much more sense
losing his road licence
and he stops drinking lager and wine!

September is here
With skies bright and clear.
Summer birds will be southbound.
Cooler breezes near.
School football we cheer.
The young quarterback is downed.
Parents go berserk,
Call player a jerk
For manhandling their loved son.
The ref's not a shirk,
Is good at his work,
Says no infraction was done.
