As many of you realize, an important thing is happening this week.
The start of Regular Season Football.
I have mentioned that football is the glue that holds my family together, right? (Well not really but sometimes, it feels like it.)
This is when the fun starts. This week. Dad, Mom, oldest sister and her husband, and I, along with some people I don't know but know my cool BIL have all tossed in our money yet again for the football pool.
This is more than gambling, people. As a matter of fact, the money is really the least of it. It's a very cheap pool compared to some of the others people have tried to suck me into.
This is all about the trash talk. Its about bragging rights. Its about picking better than the rest of the family, then rubbing it in. INCESSANTLY rubbing it in.
And it starts, this week. I am exited.
So, Sundays, from now on, you will probably find me parked in front of the TV, yelling at some erstwhile team who is letting me down. Blogging will probably be done at halftime, and either be full of irate-ness, or trash talking happy dancing-ness. MM likes football, too, so he will fit in nicely. Either that or I will scare him off. But I doubt it. Hopefully, he'll be right there, yelling along side of me.
Well I need to go now, I need to go read some more football websites so I can make my picks.
Yeah BW, I know "Go Eagles!". They are playing the Green Bay Packers this week. I am sorry, but being as their 2 QB's are having issues, and the whole team may not be healthy, I think I may have to go with the Pack for this one... unless you know something I don't!

All I know is that even though I dearly love the Eagles, they do suck. It's Philadelphia for chrissake.. ALL the teams here suck. They all seem to blow it in the end.
Besides, my fantasy football team is WAY better... heh heh heh... next year, you join us.. we will suck you in!!
I'll be watching as many games as I can stay awake for!
I am a football fan too. What's not to like about a sport that has tight ends?? I am a girl who actually understands the sport and enjoys it...ok I like the tight ends and the uniforms too :).
I used to get in on the weekly football pool at work, I miss that, dang. It was fun to see how many I could get right. I never did mind that I never won the pot, but I did come close a coupla times. The point spread usually got me.
RahRahZizzzbooommmmbahhhh!! Good Luck.
BW: supporting your home team is really fun, but it sucks when they are not very good. The Eagles are not bad, they just need some work
Moonbeam: exactly! I was raised watching, so I understand the game well. The tight ends don't hurt, though. And the point spread can make the difference. . .
Ya know how sometimes your mind for whatever reason goes back and thinks of a word it typed...omg..did I really type "used to" on my previous comment?. Yes I did. Dont think that is what I meant to type. My mind just typed as I speak I guess..forgive me for I am not stupid.
moonbeam
it's all good. I type on auto-pilot all the time. Then I go back and read what I posted and laugh hysterically as I try to fix it. And I proof read my comments a lot, but still screw them up.
Then I saw this bear, and you would not believe what he had in his paw!! He was holding a 18" dildo!
Oh crap. I published that before I read it huh?
Not being a football fan, I don't quite follow it, but I know sports love as a die-hard baseball fan. May your team do well!
NEVER go with the Packers. HATE those cheeseheads!!!!!!!!!
okay, Syb, so what about the Bengals? I am not so sure I should pick them, either. . .
ALWAYS pick the Bengals. Haha
Seriously - they're the underdog, and they might surprise you. I always go with the underdog, though. One year it served me very, very well. To the tune of around $600. Sweet!
