Football is Back, and My Life Has Changed
It has finally begun. NFL 2009.
In theory it began this past week on the astro turf in Boise, ID in a contest destined to be remembered for what occurred after the blunt Blount party -more memorable than anything that occurred at some point in the 60 minutes of regulation.
And currently the Steelers – hoping to become the first team ever since the Patriots to do it again – started their Super Bowl defense with a sweet win over the Titans to inaugurate the ’09 football year.
I understand I’m not as fruitful during football season. Suddenly, I am only doing stuff during commercials, if ever, on weekends, in addition to Thursday nights, Friday nights, and Monday nights.
Then add in fantasy football – which drastically decreases the amount of time I would otherwise be functional, writing, or doing something prolific-and many more hours than I am willing to confess are devoted to this sport.
This time of year, I definitely do not eat as healthy.
Wednesday night, I had fish with steamed vegetables and went for a dip after a 6 mile jog.
Thursday (game day), I ate a super burrito, too many chips, too many, some more chips, and saw the movie Max Payne following the game, prior to checking fantasy lines for Kerry Collins and then stumbling to bed, full from the chips.
Do not recognize if there are some NFL detox programs and even if there , I wouldn’t voluntarily participate. Hopefully my family wouldn’t perform any sort of intervention.
Fact is, I don’t want to quit, although as a Broncos fan that may change as the season progresses.
NFL and NCAA football are religion for a huge percentage of the population. We’re corn chip-eating cult members following the rantings of Chris Collinsworth.
So it is on. The ’09 year commenced and, like it or not, life won’t be the same until a month into 2010, when the natural NFL detox commences.
