NFL Bingo

September 19, 2009 4:09 PM

The wife and I are going to a friend's house to watch (American) football tomorrow. I'll be watching the game. She won't. Is there anywhere online where I can find football bingo for non fans?

She doesn't like football, everyone else there does. I'm already taking it as a good sign that she's willing to go and hang out with us doing something she doesn't like.

What I'm looking for is something similar to Wal-Mart Bingo where she doesn't have to understand what's going on in the actual game but where she does have to pay attention to the TV.

But if I can't find something already made I'm willing to make some cards myself, so ideas for things that can go on the card would also be great.

What you want is a good football squares pool.

Do you know which game(s) you're going to be watching? That may make a difference.

General stuff you could put on there: Plays you don't see very often (safety, blocked kick/punt, interception or fumble recovery returned for TD, kick/punt returned for TD, etc.)

Depending on you and your wife's sense of humor, there are tons of football related phrases that are obvious double-entendres: X# of men "in the box", lots of talk about gaps/holes being wide open/filled/pounded, etc (I'd think of more, but my brain is kind of mushy right now).

But I'd think player/coach/commentator specific stuff would be the most fun, if we knew who you were going to be watching.

Sorry, I don't know why I didn't think to mention what game it was before. Carolina Panthers at Atlanta Falcons.

For what it's worth I'll be the only Falcons fan in the room.
