Feel the passion for the game!  An excerpt from the Week 11 Powder Puff Sundays Newsletter ...

I believe that football isn't rocket science. I'm a woman who believes that women can do anything and understand anything. All we need is the opportunity. And I want to give women the opportunity to learn about football.

But for me this is bigger than just football. I believe taking the time to learn about something the guys in your life are passionate about can impact your relationships with your fathers, husbands, boyfriends, and/or sons.

So, what's a touchdown anyhow...?

A touchdown is worth 6 points and is scored when a player takes the ball into the other team's end zone. This is the ultimate scoring play.

A touchdown is like the ultimate pair of shoes or the perfect handbag (depending on which floats your boat). If you're shopping to build an outfit, when the shoes or bag are perfect, you can build a whole outfit around them. After all, we're talking perfection.
