On December 23rd, a the tender age of 40, I finally got football. 

We were at the hospital, and had to wait for a few hours, and it was Dallas vs New Orleans on the tv.

Not as boring as I'd always thought it was - pretty cool in fact. Doesn't beat hockey, but still... ;)

Now if only hockey would stop beating itself.  The last lockout lost most of the fans and the TV coverage so they do it AGAIN?  *Sheesh!*

Hockey really isn't what it used to be anymore. I think I've watched 2 or 3 games in the last 15 years.


I don't feel comfortable cheering for a bunch of 20 year old who can't even spell their name being paid millions to hit a piece of rubber w/ a stick.

Furthermore, it's pretty hard to identify to your home team when 99% of the players come from everywhere but home and care about nothing but getting as much money as they can when they're first signed.

And the game itself has changed so much. 

I need a drink... getting out the jar 'o shine.

Perhaps the 49ers are better than I thought... I may have misunderestimated them.

Depends which team shows up for the game.  They seem to operate in one of two modes: totally suck and totally rock.  Two weeks ago, the suck mode team showed up to play Seattle.  Yesterday we got the rock mode team for sure.

Well, I haven't played for over 20 years so...  Hehe...

Oh man... that Falcons/Seahawks game was just too much. We won!, no, we lost... YES, WE WON!... no, we lost... YAAA, WE WON!... oh no, what are we doing... YES! WE WON!

I still don't know what they were thinking with that last kickoff... what, did they want to give the Seahawks one more chance??? Some play calls seem REALLY stupid to me.

Coach Julien

PS: GO TEXANS!!

The kicker misunderstood what he was supposed to do (definitely not what the coach's wanted).  He was supposed to drill the ball low down the field, not attempt an onside kick!

Pats roll to a win. Lets see if they can handle the Ravens now. Overall a wicked weekend of Football. I can't remember a year when the games were this good all the way around. I thought for sure the Seahawks were going to win. They were the one team I didn't want to play if the Pats make it to the big show again.
