[I560]It Just Comes Natural
by Jim Brown, Jim
Watching football games on television is a family tradition at times that is never broken. Many families love football so much that they reserve one day a week for the men in the family to get together and that day occurs on Sundays usually, especially during football season. The women in the family are welcomed to watch because they want to spread the love too and learn about football on an up close, and personal basis.

Most football fans love the game because it is unpredictable. Even when an NFL football team has played badly, there is always the chance that they will make an amazing recovery and come out the winner by the end of the day. Some comebacks are so incredible that families will talk about it for the rest of the week. Some talk carries over into the workplace because the football pool at work was balanced on that one particular game.

There is likely to be many points of view expressed about the action that occurred on the gridiron during a weekend. Some businesses have found it necessary to limit comments to break times because workers were failing to get their work done. The action on the football field can absorb people while at work because some fans listen to radios as they sit at their workstations. The email systems used on the job are often used to transmit scores throughout the day when other restrictions are put into place by business owners.

The love of football continues throughout the week with the continual changes that are made to the team standings, and the player's statistics. Those statistical numbers have a way of affecting the amount of money that a player will earn when it comes time for a contract to be renegotiated. A family can feel very rewarded when their devotion to a certain player is rewarded by a 2-year contract renewal that is worth millions in endorsements.

Some families get very excited if their team is trying to maintain the top spot in the rankings of football teams on any given week. There will be no guarantees that the television viewing room will be very quiet during these important games, and parents might want to send the children out of the room at any time. This is especially true if the opposing team scores a touchdown in the last few minutes of an important bowl game. Football fans that watch the games from home have a tendency to express their love of the game in ways that might shock a youngster at times.

Some fans might consult the television network listings to confirm that a game starts at a particular time. They might have a deep love for football and need hardcore information about the team and its standings so that they can select the right players to put in their fantasy football team. Winning such a league might put the love of football in everyone because the winner could be assured of winning tickets to the Super Bowl.

Loving football is natural for most families but foreign to some. For those that do not understand what pigskin football is all about, there is always help available. Everybody has to learn about football sometimes and learning can help some people form great friendships. Every football team has a fan club and newbies are welcome all the time. There is certain fans that will teach others about football and keep them appraised of the scores.

He’s cute, adorable, charming and has a great sense of humor. He’s an actor and comedian and he’s good at both. Let’s face it, among the current comedians on television and the movies, Robin Williams is one of the top choices of viewers. Since earning his popularity in the 1970s, his name has never lost its sparkle.

Comedy comes oh so natural for this man, although he’s outstanding, too, as a serious actor. But well, it’s always the funny side that we love best because of the light and happy feeling that we get when we can laugh our hearts out. Did you know that Robin Williams’ interest in comedy began at a very young age? Being an only child, he spent more time alone developing his imagination and entertaining himself by memorizing the comedy records of Jonathan Winters. He also developed his quick humor as a defense mechanism against the constant teasing of classmates in the private schools that he attended. His funny side continued to show even until high school during which he was voted as the funniest person.

The actor’s penchant for comic relief never waned after high school. Although he was taking up political science in college, he also engaged in improvisational comedy. However, it’s interesting to note that Williams actually underwent formal training in drama initially at Marin College in California and later on at Juilliard. On the side, he worked as a mime to support his education. Eventually, he became a standup comedian at the Club Circuit after leaving the art school.

Robin got his first big break as a comedian after appearing in L.A.’s Comedy Store. That lucky appearance led to a regular gig on Laugh-In. He was later cast as a crazy space alien named Mork from Ork on one episode of Happy Days. The audience loved his portrayal of Mork’s character that producer Garry Marshall decided to give Williams his very own sitcom entitled “Mork and Mindy" which ran on TV for four years from 1978 to 1982. Of course, the show was a great success and catapulted Williams to fame making him one of the most popular comedians of the 1970’s and 1980’s together with Richard Pryor and Billy Crystal.

On the big screen, Williams’s first title role was that of Popeye in 1980. What followed were several films, both comic and serious ones. However, it was the 1987 film “Good Morning, Vietnam" that made him famous as a movie actor. His role as real-life deejay Adrian Cronauer who was based in Saigon in the 1960’sbrought out the best of Williams’ talent in both comedy and drama. He sure did impressed viewers with his hilarious comedy routines as a radio disc jockey and got their sympathy with his dramatic scenes outside of the radio station. It was no surprise that his great performance earned him an Oscar nomination for best actor.

Robin Williams had several other comedy films that were big hits like Mrs. Doubtfire in 1993 and The Bird Cage in 1995. He had a number of more serious films, too, but fans wanted him back on the comic trail. In 2006, he returned to what he does best – making people laugh – with roles in the comedy films RV and Man of the Year. This year 2007, reports have it that Williams is set to do four movies.

Unless you don’t know yet, Williams has actually recorded three comedy albums and has emceed Comic Relief, a yearly televised benefit for the homeless, since the 1980s. And as if that’s not enough accomplishments, just last January 9, Robin won the People’s Choice Award for Funniest Male Star. In a short speech, he thanked his mother and his idols in comedy George Carlin, Jonathan Winters and Richard Pryor.
