The football sports fan doesn’t just enjoy a football game on television every now and then, or an occasional football game to play with friends in the back yard on the weekend.A true football fan watches every single game of the season on a monster-sized large screen TV.A true football fan lives, eats, and breathes football.He talks about it at the water cooler at work.He reviews player stats and sports news during lunchtime.He plays football video games and fantasy football in his spare time.The football fan isn’t just a fan – he’s a representation of what it means to truly love a sport.
When such a fan has some free time, they look for games to play that are based on the sport they love – football.This article will offer a few options for the football fan to pass the time, assuming there isn’t a game playing on TV.
Yahoo! Sports Pro Football Pick’Em
Yahoo has joined the fantasy football trend and is now offering anyone with a Yahoo! ID (it’s free) a chance to join up with the 2008 Pro Football Pick’em season. If you’ve ever found yourself searching for football games to play, this is one of the best.
Unlike fantasy football, you won’t be drafting your own teams, however each week you will have an opportunity to show how much you know about the teams by trying to pick game winners.
While there are no prizes available if you win, you will get supreme bragging rights, because if you finish in either first, second or third place in a league of at least six teams, you will have a trophy image displayed in the “trophy case”.Simply email the “trophy” to all of your friends and brag away!
Candystand Chalkboard Football
Can’t get enough of real life football?That’s why computer games were invented.Skyworks Technologies has created a fun online game called Chalkboard Football.Use your football insight and knowledge to choose the right plays that will overpower your competition.
But don’t think all you need to do is select which play to use.This game demands that you “hike” the ball, and then throw the ball far enough ahead of your running players so that they can catch it and hopefully make a touchdown.
This is easy enough to do when playing against the computer, but this casual game is also networked to other players online, and there’s an option at the bottom where you can “challenge a friend.”If you thought real football was competitive, try playing this online game against one of your football buddies.
