Love football... and of course a Patriot’s fan! We generally have football on at our home on the weekend, a college game of interest on Saturdays and NFL on Sundays. I am usually in my sewing room but pull up a comfy chair and a beer when the Patriots are playing.

We're more Nascar fans on weekends.....but football runs along side too and my husband is always flipping stations. He loves the Bears and the Packers. I'm usually just listening to football games because I have to keep my hands busy doing something.

Georgia Bulldogs!! They're playing against the Florida Gators soon

I love football and follow particular players more than teams. My all-time first choice in a player is Drew Brees, Right now Patrick Mahomes has me absolutely captivated! I have tried NOT to get hooked on college ball because I watch enough NFL already. Did you know that you can save your hand stitching for applique and binding for your favorite game? If you happen to be looking at your stitching when a big play happens they have replays for that!

I like the Colts, but I'll watch any of them!

Oh yes, I am a quilter and a football fan. Root for the Redskins, but so happy to see the Browns winning some games this year. We are a very diverse football family. I'm making some embroidered coasters as little Christmas gifts for some of the family. Also made 2 NE Patriots coasters for friends at Cape Cod. Told them I had to buy the Pats fabric online as it was against the law to sell it in Penna. LOL [ATTACH=CONFIG]602943[/ATTACH]

I'm from Maine so I root for the Patriots who are doing well so far. and the Red Sox - who are in the world series!!

Sewmagz63 10-23-2018 10:10 AM

GO Houston TEXANS! Avid football fans are we, every Sunday! You can also find us frequently tailgating with family and friends when games are at home!

I am a football NUT and love to sew while watching the games. I watch as many games as I can and I'll DVR the ones I have to miss!

I'm a Patriots fan but I also enjoy watching and rooting for the Packers (Aaron Rogers is the man) and the Saints (Drew Brees is such a great down-to-earth person and role model). And that new little cutie Patrick Mahomes makes me want to watch the Chiefs too; he is adorable and such a natural talent. (Now I sound like a cougar LOL.) :)

I don't know a thing about college football though.

EmiliasNana 10-23-2018 11:16 AM

Only sports I ever watched were the ones our kids played in. I was born and lived in Packer country until I was 15 so my family were all Green Bay fans. My DH is an ardent Red Sox fan and UConn women's basketball fan. We both graduated from UConn.

I'm a "12"! Seattle Seahawks fan! But enjoy watching other teams, too. And yes, I watch on TV and just raise my head when action is about to take place. Fun from my machine or when I hand quilt.

Kitsie 10-23-2018 11:17 AM

I enjoy them, too! Especially their young QB! And there are 2 very good Washington State college teams.

These coasters are adorable....especially since I'm a Steeler fan!

southernmema 10-23-2018 04:41 PM

Huge football fan! Especially love Georgia Bulldogs, Atlanta Falcons, Chicago Bears, Northwestern Wildcats!! Also watch baseball, basketball, some soccer, not too much hockey.

Don't watch NFL games anymore--guess you could say I'm protesting the protesters about kneeling instead of being an American, who stands and salutes the flag. I do watch golf if I'm in the house!

leonf 10-24-2018 07:33 AM

I never watch football. Way too much violence against women from many of the players. And the NFL is non-profit.. Give me a break. When we pay college debate team coaches the same as we pay football coaches I might watch college football again. Isn't college about learning?

HettyB 10-24-2018 08:41 AM

I can't stand football (soccer to those in the US), or American Football. Number 1 sport for me is Cricket (Test, ODI T20 in that order), followed by Rugby, Athletics and cycling (like the Tour De France).

I watch Michigan State and Ohio State just to watch them lose!!
Get lots of hand quilting done on Saturdays around here!

I agree, we used to have everyone over on Superbowl Sunday. Not anymore, we won't watch it. My husband even gave away his Miami Dolphins cold cups and I gave up my silver and blue star keychain.

I agree, personal feelings need to be kept out of the work place. They can protest on their own time, not on our time.
But, that being said, we are a die hard Seahawks family.

And this just my brood(minus the 2 that weren't born yet) plus my mom and my ex. I have brothers and sisters with families too, all Seahawks fans.

You might be able to guess the team i root for from my QB name.....Notre Dame! Sometimes i can get some quilting done during commercials. I'm hoping to have a tee shirt tag quilt ready to snip tomorrow night.

Mariposa 10-26-2018 07:58 PM

WSU Cougars!! (Washington State). Also the Seahawks~ :)

JeannieT 10-28-2018 03:50 PM

Vikings fan here too! Getting ready to watch them on Sunday night football. Got to sew all day yesterday, so will just play Words with Friends while the game is on. Go VIKES!!!

QuiltingNinaSue 10-29-2018 06:56 AM

No sports in our home. Children all out on their own, and it just seems like too much noise. Our children choose the band in High School, we used to encourage them, not the players on the team playing football,etc. in Texas. Rarely do we watch much TV. I'd rather work in my quiet Quilt Room.

BETTY62 11-05-2018 10:02 PM

Love those Dallas Cowboys. Even when they don't win. LOL

Quilting to football
 
I loved when my DH watched football because I could quilt undisturbed for 3 hours. Now that he is deceased, I tape as many games as my DVR will hold so I can play them back when I'm in the mood to sew. That's my background music. Don't care who wins, don't really even care who plays. It's just a sweet memory for me. (Tho I do root for his fave, Auburn Tigers!)

butterflies5518 03-14-2020 12:02 PM

We are Packers fans here. Hubby went to college there.

College Michigan State, then other Big 10 schools. Pros it is Indianapolis Colts. Watch all I can.

kyquiltlover1942 03-15-2020 04:33 AM

I only faithfully follow U of L sports. Don't really care for pro ball of any kind. I am trying to understand soccer. Don't think it is going to happen.
