... prepare. It takes time and practice to get a team in sync because there are so many players that need to work together in unison: Blocking patterns, running backs hitting the proper holes, lineman pulling, receivers running patterns, quarterbacks getting the football to them on timing routes, etc.

The Direct TV Versus Dish Network Dilemma

...Eenie meenie, miney mo - to which satellite TV service shall I go?
