Crossing the 50: A place for women to learn about football without all the technical babble.

Welcome to Crossing the 50

The place where you can ask all your “stupid” football questions. The place where football is spoken in plain language and not all that football babble the pros know so well. So take a look around and start the journey into the most popular sport in America. Cross the 50 yard line with me — and let's go for the touchdown.
