Football Season

Yeah! Footbal season is here! Granted, I'm not the demographic the NFL is thinking of with their scantilly clad cheerleaders, macho tailgaiting commercials, and all male commentators, but I still love it. I may be the only person switching back and forth between the game and that Lifetime Movie, but I don't care. I'm excited to see how the Broncos are going to do without Clinton Portis, to see how the Giants are going to do with Eli Manning, how the Dolphins will fare without Ricky. And what about Deion Sanders?? (Why he gave up a gig where he can wear goofy suits with clown shoes and say crazy things so he can get beat up by kids ten years younger is a mystery, but a fun one nonetheless). I want to see all the bad calls, good calls, hard hits, great catches, and flagrant penalties. This is the game I was raised on, the thing you did on the weekend instead of homework. These are the players I know and love or hate, the teams I'm loyal to, whether it is to win or lose. And for the record, I will ALWAYS hope for the Raiders to suffer the most humiliating loss in every game. Raiders bad. Broncos good. And as for college football, I'm looking forward to crybaby USC to crash and burn. Hopefully they will. And Miami too, although that seems unlikely. But that's the beauty of football. No matter how good a team is, they can still lose, and vice versa. So I can always hope for things that the "experts" are convinced will never happen. This is fun. This is magic. I'll be watching. Go Broncos!
