Football Season is upon us!!!

It is finally that time of year where extensive research, countless injury inquires, preseason previews, hypothetical mis-matches, and hated rivalries, culminate into a weekly ritual of 10+ hours of yelling at the television while my wife lies asleep next to me, oblivious to the angst of my first round fantasy pick stinking up the joint. Ode to football. Seventeen wondrous weeks of agony and exhilaration, topped by six lustrous weeks of pure heaven when I can just pick my favorite team of the week to route through the playoffs. (Ordinarily, the team of the week would be replaced by the Ravens, but even my 2 yo son knows they don't have a snowballs chance this year.) A wonderful time of year where holiday's occur every Sunday and Monday, and Tuesdays are a bummer because there is 5 more days till kick-off. And what makes this year especially gratifying, I have a daughter who is developing a pecking order of favorite teams and a son who loves to yell at the TV just like his daddy. What a glorious time of year, long live football!!!!
