I have been a football fan for as long as I can remember. I recall sitting with my mother and learning to help her keep stats while my father coached. Many years later, I was usually the leading “team mom” for the assorted school or rec league squads my sons played on. I was never a cheerleader — They spent too much time with their backs to the action, and I wanted to watch.
We aren’t obsessive about it, but Holden and I do participate in a couple of fantasy football leagues every year. In this photo, I am posing in the jersey of Julio Jones, the MVP of my latest championship team. One day, Holden will learn not to wager against me!
Noting your left hand and it appears that you are making a point, makes me wonder what did you twould bet on, and if you are attempting to claim your winnings.
The jersey was one part of my winnings!

I had to Google-translate some of the ‘Murican but I got the gist
Did Julio give up his shirt willingly or you did you wrestle him for it? I find it hard to believe you have sons with that extraordinary body x
Nobody would want to see me in one of Julio’s actual jerseys — They would swallow me up! A lady-size replica is better for me.
And oh yes, I do have two sons. They are big, and they are so old now! Grown men… ~C
I hope you don’t mind me saying that these could make you part of another kind of, ah, “fantasy league”.

An excellent idea! I’m sure the competition would be…stiff!
Hahaha no doubt!
Well, Julio did get a touchdown against my Seahawks yesterday. But, you look a hell of a lot better in that jersey than he does.
Very kind of you! I was happy to see the team fight back and give Seattle a game, but I fear that not even mighty Julio can rescue my fantasy team this year.
