Football Terms

It is always better to be on the top of a pile than to end up at the bottom of a massive pile.  The word pile in football describes the action of one or more players jumping on top of a player or group of players after a tackle has been made.  The End is a player who lines up at either end of the line, and Defense has ends as well as an Offense does.  A legal offensive formation must always consist of seven players, usually a Center, two Guards, two Tackles and two Ends.  Lining up as an end constitutes that the player is an eligible receiver, but this is also a Beatles song.  An end is the only lineman who aside from blocking can run or catch passes.  An end who lines up close to the other linemen is known as a tight end and one who lines up some distance from the offensive line is known as a split end.  A woman may look at a guy’s butt and say that he has a tight end and she could also have hair that has become dry, brittle, and frayed, giving her split ends.  The sidelines are the white colored lines which mark the outer boundaries of a football field, running parallel to each other and perpendicular to the yardage lines and to the goal lines.  The middle linebacker is positioned at the very center of the defense.  He is often the leader of the defense calling out the defensive play.  His main job is to cover the middle of the field.

I feel relatively confident that everyone will be able to find a song for Bottom/End/Middle/Side/Top being used as this week’s prompt.  We are all here to have some more fun and listen to some enjoyable music.  Last week we had the prompt La and there were some great songs contributed.  I asked Fandango if he listened to some of the songs that were submitted and he said that he had heard enough La songs to last him the rest of his life.  Take some time to read the posts of other bloggers who respond to this music challenge, as you will probably find many enjoyable songs.  Share your music with others and post a video, try do some research and let everyone know something about the song that you post.  Show the lyrics, but most important, make sure that you have fun.  Try to find a song that fits the prompt, then write your post and create a pingback, or you can just place your link in the comments section.

Here are the “rules”:
• Post the lyrics to the song of your choice, whether it fits the theme or not. If it does not fit, then please explain why you chose this song.
• Please try to include the songwriter(s) – it’s a good idea to give credit where credit is due.
• Make sure you also credit the singer/band and if you desire you can provide a link to where you found the lyrics.
• Link to the YouTube video, or pull it into your post so others can listen to the song.
• Ping back to this post or place your link in the comments section below.
• Read at least one other person’s blog, so we can all share new and fantastic music and create amazing new blogging friends in the process.
• Feel free to suggest future prompts.
• Have fun and enjoy the music.
