I've seen this posted a hundred times and each time I can't tell if the person is serious or joking. It's funny either way.

Aww - I didn't have time to study last night for the test.

I give myself a good solid B due to not knowing what a coach or professional player knows. But you gotta ask yourself honestly, how many people that post on a message board know that much anyway? But I do know the rules of the game and some basic X's and O's.

It kills me when something happens and the people in the stands boo when it's so freaking obvious that the call is correct.

Watch a football with someone who really knows about football, and you will be shocked on how much you miss during the game. I rate myself a high C, and I know a lot about football. If you never played or coached the game, how could you rate yourself an A or B, totally ridiculous. There are many moving parts to a football play or scheme. Some people watch the ball every play and feel they know a lot about football.

This I guess..

I give myself a D - . . .

-- Once both teams line up, I can tell which team has possession.
-- I can tell the difference between a fullback and a tailback -- if the offense lines up in a power-I.
-- I can tell the difference between a wide receiver and a slot receiver (pretty esoteric stuff).
-- I can recognize a blitz, once the ball is snapped.
-- I can recognize most penalties as they happen, if I actually see them happen.

It’s not much.

But I can still scream & holler that we should throw more . . .

Solid A..
