Long Passes are Just that: Long Shots

When ever you are watching football with your man and you see how he gets frustrated because his team's offense is doing what's called "running" the ball instead of "passing" do not get too confused. Believe me, it makes me insane as well, especially with an awesome passing quarterback like Tom Brady on my team, but I do understand why it must be done. Ladies, think of it as going out to the club. You do not walk in and head straight up to the hottie that looks like Sam Worthington, you have to mess with his mind, and get a few free drinks while you are at it. Let the guys that are desperate buy you mojitos as you take a couple of those cute over the shoulder looks and smiles at Sam. Once you have had a few drinks in your system and you can tell Sam is looking back with his own smile you can stop "running" the ball and go in for the long "pass". Sam is interested, walks up to you, and offers to buy you a drink. In football the quarterback will hand off the ball instead of throwing just to pick up a few yards. This is the equivalent to you and your girls accepting drinks from guys you are positive you would never give your number to in a million years, but hey, free drinks! The long pass is for when the quarterback believes the throw will result in either a touchdown or a large gain in yards. The passes are not done often because this could risk an interception or a fumble, which is the same as if you had gone straight for Sam just to find out he does not think you are cute or you are too sober for that moment. You have to work your way up to Sam, just as small yards have to be gained before a major, game changing play with a 50 or more yard throw.
