bloody knuckles
sweaty players
hard working
with dirty jerseys
bumps and bruises
sore tommorrow

while players are cramping
gatorade tasting good
like rain after a two month drought
hunger for the next big hit
to knock his helmet off

coaches yelling
touch down
we win the game
fans cheering
players cheering
helmets raised high
every player and fan rooting for the team
chanting and screaming
sweat players
talking bout the game
all the way home
