so what's your favorite team or do you have a favorite team or
well i uh i'd have to say my favorite team would be Cincinnati Bengals
Bengals
um-hum
yeah
uh i was uh i was pulling for the Bengals when they uh lost the Super Bowl
oh that was sad wasn't it
two years ago was it
yeah yeah yeah that was just a couple of years ago
yeah i i pulled for them for the sole reason because i didn't want 49ers to win
anybody who plays the 49ers really
yeah well uh it's kind of hard to uh to know what to do with some of these teams and they're either extremely strong or very very weak and uh nothing much in between
yeah
yeah that's true uh my favorite team is are is are the Raiders
oh you like the Raiders
yeah i mean i've liked them ever since the season that they won the Super Bowl last i think it was eighty four i think it was
um-hum
uh-huh
and uh i pretty much like them ever since that
and they haven't they haven't produced since then but
no
but
least i've stuck with them i'm loyal
uh-huh well that that and that's the important thing i mean whether they win or lose why the fun is is in the supporting them
yeah
and staying with it and hoping that uh you know the next time is a better time around
yeah what other teams uh do you like up there
well um
or do you not watch much football
oh i love football
oh really
oh watch it uh every every game that's on i watch
every Sunday and Monday
yeah and Thursday nights
oh that's right
no there uh
well let's see i never use thought about football too much yet
yeah me either it's kind of like they they gave me the topic and i'm like football jeez it's been a long time
yeah right uh uh
did you know that they're playing a game today
yeah that's the World League
yeah
yeah what time is that supposed to be
they're playing it right now
oh are they
yeah i think it's uh ABC that's carrying it it's either ABC or NBC one or the other i think i'm not too sure one of the major stations it's uh Barcelona versus New York
oh
hum well uh
i haven't for some reason have never really gotten enthused about football in the summer from from the the World League
yeah the temperature's just not right
yeah yeah and uh it just seems like it should only be done in cold weather
yeah
rather than just be played at anytime anytime during the year
we usually don't uh we usually don't have very cold weather down here you know during uh during football season it it gets colder later on in the season
um-hum
but it takes a good while for it to get cold
huh
but couple couple Christmases ago we had a a freak storm
and i live near the coast actually i live like right on the coast of North Carolina
ooh
and uh what they they called it like a winter hurricane and so instead of bringing high winds and destruction and rain it just brought a lot of snow and basically it rain it it snowed only on the coast but not inland
uh-huh
so the coast was completely we had like ten foot snow drifts which in the coast we barely get an inch of snow a year
oh is that right
yeah and so we you know because being near the water we get less snow than anybody else
yeah
and this time we had a bunch of snow we we i had fun playing in in the snow playing football in the snow
and so i mean i i had never done that before and it's it's so much fun because you can hit harder and land harder and it doesn't matter because it's snow and yeah
is that right
huh
i would think uh that if you were real cold and you hit uh hit the ground that it would seem to hurt more
yeah well we had like layers of clothing to keep away the snow
well that helps doesn't it
yeah
but the snow also helps you know and it it we had like one foot deep snow in this in this open field and so it was a little hard to run but when you got hit and you fell you didn't really feel it
oh yeah
you just felt the hit of the person but when you hit the ground it was you know just snow it was it was pretty fun but it's it's a lot better to play it in the cold weather that's true
um-hum
yeah right right
what kind of weather you having right now
well right now we're having nice weather i i probably say in in the upper sixties maybe lower seventies right now
oh my well our weather's suddenly turned cold again uh our weather is so unstable
you never know
yeah especially at this time
yes and uh this morning why it was raining and it was quite cold and then it seemed to warm up somewhat and then before uh before i got out of church it cooled off again
so much so that i uh stopped at home to change coats because i had to go down to the hospital and uh the coat i had on was just too light in weight
yeah is it very windy up there now
yes very strong winds
yeah we had some pretty strong winds pick up this morning and they've been up been with us all day
well
well been awfully nice talking with you
yeah this is the first time i've talked with someone up north really mostly i've been talking with people in Texas
yeah right right most people seem to be there out there
seems like they have ninety percent of the people calling from Texas
right
okay well good talking to you
yeah nice talking to you too bye
uh-huh bye-bye
