Commentary

WHY I LOVE FOOTBALL

Point #1 - I don't really love football.
Point #2 - I just watched the super bowl. (Yes the entire thing!!!)
Point #3 - It was a pretty good game... and that's saying something coming from me because I don't like football:)
Point #4 - The Main Point - Since the Super Bowl just occurred and football is on the mind of many there are more than a few conversations floating around the media about favorite plays, moments, and so on. So without further ado I would like to share my favorite football moment.

One day the dear love of my life was watching football. To me this is just background noise. I was paying absolutely no attention until the following phrase caught my ear. "Now let's talk about the 'non-quitage' of this guy here." Did I hear that right I thought to myself. It can't be. That man did not just say "non-quitage". So I asked Nick to confirm, which he did. The announcers, in speaking of a player who refused to "quit" playing in a seemingly hopeless situation, had just created a new word.

FORMAL DEFINITION
non-quitage - The act of NOT quitting. (Not to be confused with non-quidditch - NOT playing the game involving broomsticks and a snitch in the Harry Potter series.)

Needless to say, I got a huge laugh out of this. So I've been thinking of ways that I can incorporate non-quitage into my own life and vocabulary and the possibilities are very promising. I'll keep you posted.
