In field hockey, do they call them "war mommies?" "War daddy" is the rare bit of football jargon that somehow manages to be both ubiquitous and obscure. A die-hard fan who can parse the differences between a mike linebacker and a will linebacker probably hasn't heard of a war daddy. Well, count me among the uninformed. I'd somehow never heard this term before reading the article, even though I've watched scores and scores of football games. I'm sure that I'm going to hear it constantly now, and that it'll get irritating. Still, an interesting article.
