It has at long last begun. Football season.
In principle it began last week on the smurf turf in Boise, Idaho in a contest destined to be remembered for what occurred afterwards the blunt Blount party -more than anything that occurred at some point in the 60 minutes of the game.
And presently the Steelers - hoping to become the first franchise ever since the Pats to do it again - started their Super Bowl defense with a satisfying win over the Titans to begin the ‘09 NFL year.
I recognize I am not as fruitful throughout NFL season. All at once, I’m only doing stuff during commercials, if at all, on Saturdays and Sundays, in addition to Thursday nights, Friday nights, and Monday nights.
Then throw in fantasy football - which severely decreases the amount of time I’d otherwise be working, writing, or doing something prolific-and many more hours than I am willing to confess get devoted to this sport.
This time of year, I certainly do not eat as well.
Wednesday night, I ate salmon with steamed vegetables and went for a swim after a 6 mile jog.
Thursday (game day), I consumed a super burrito, too many chips, several, more chips, and saw the movie Max Payne following the game, prior to checking fantasy lines for Kerry Collins and then stumbling to bed, bloated from the chips.
Do not understand if there are any football detox programs and even if there are, I wouldn’t voluntarily take part. Hopefully my family wouldn’t perform some sort of intervention.
Fact is, I do not want to quit, although as a Broncos fan that could change as the year progresses.
NFL and NCAA football are religion for a big percentage of the population. We’re corn chip-devouring cult members following the rantings of Chris Collinsworth.
So it’s on. The 2009 year began and, like it or not, life will not be the same until a month into 2010, when the natural NFL detox begins.
