It has finally begun. NFL season.

Technically it started this past week on the smurf turf in Boise, ID in a contest destined to be remembered for what took place afterwards the blunt Blount party -more than anything that took place during the 60 minutes of the game.

And now the Steelers – hoping to turn into the first franchise ever since the Patriots to do it again – started their Super Bowl defense with a gratifying victory over Tennessee to inaugurate the ’09 football season.

I recognize I am not as prolific in the course of NFL season. All at once, I’m only accomplishing stuff during commercials, if at all, on weekends, plus Thursday nights, Friday nights, and Monday nights.

Then throw in fantasy football – which severely decreases the quantity of time I would otherwise be productive, writing, or doing something fruitful-and more time than I care to confess get devoted to this sport.

This time of year, I surely do not eat as healthy.

Wednesday night, I had salmon with mixed veggies and went for a dip after a 6 mile jog.

Thursday (game day), I consumed a super burrito, too many chips, too many, some more chips, and saw the movie Max Payne after the game, prior to checking fantasy stats for Kerry Collins and then staggering to bed, bloated from the chips.

Do not understand if there are any NFL detox programs and even if there were, I wouldn’t voluntarily partake. Hopefully my family wouldn’t stage any sort of intervention.

Fact is, I do not want to quit, but as a Broncos lover that might change as the year progresses.

NFL and NCAA football are religion for a giant percentage of the population. We’re corn chip-devouring cult members following the rantings of Chris Collinsworth.

So it is on. The ’09 season began and, like it or not, my days will not be the same until a month into 2010, when the natural NFL detox begins.
