Before I talk, well rant, about yesterday’s playoff games, I’d like to start a little tutorial. At the beginning of every blog post, I will write about a term used in the current seasons’ sport and the definition of that term. My roommate, who gave me the idea to start this blog, could care less when I talk her ear off about sports because she doesn’t know much about sports. I think if women knew more about sports, they would be able to converse about and enjoy sports more. So today’s term, since it’s football season, is “sack”. Ladies, keep your dirty thoughts to yourself on this one. The term ‘sack’ is a verb. It is what happens to the quarterback when he has possession of the ball and is tackled by a player of the opposing team behind his line of scrimmage. For example, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback, Michael Vick, was sacked several times during yesterday’s game against the Greenbay Packers because the Philadelphia offensive line didn't have his back.
As a bonus, here is another term so you can fully understand the definition of 'sack.' The 'line of scrimmage' is an imaginary line that no player can cross before the ball is snapped. And each team has its own 'line of scrimmage.'
