Paragraph Paraphrase

Because of my great enthusiasm in football, I tried to watch every game the Jets play. I would go to see the game, whenever I could pursue my father to go with me. My father has very basic knowledge of the game, and since I am totally devoted myself into the game, it’s a joy for me to explain every small detail to him. It certainly makes one fully appreciate the football when he is aware of every little difference of the sport.
