It has at long last begun. Football 2009.
In theory it started this past week on the astro turf in Boise, ID in a game destined to be remembered for what occurred after the blunt Blount party -more than anything that occurred in the course of the 60 minutes of the game.
And presently the Steelers - hoping to become the first franchise since the Pats to repeat - began their Super Bowl defense with a sweet win over Tennessee to launch the '09 football season.
I identify I am not as prolific throughout NFL season. All of a sudden, I'm only doing stuff during commercials, if ever, on Saturdays and Sundays, in addition to Thursday nights, Friday nights, and Monday nights.
Then throw in fantasy football - which drastically lessens the quantity of time I would otherwise be working, writing, or doing something productive-and more hours than I care to confess are devoted to this sport.
This time of season, I surely do not eat as well.
Wednesday night, I ate salmon with mixed vegetables and went for a dip after a 6 mile jog.
Thursday (game day), I consumed a super burrito, too many chips, a handful of, more chips, and saw the movie Max Payne following the game, before checking fantasy lines for Kerry Collins and then stumbling to bed, full from the chips.
Do not recognize if there are some football detox programs and even if there , I wouldn't voluntarily participate. Hopefully my family wouldn't stage some sort of intervention.
Fact is, I don't want to quit, although as a Broncos fanatic that may 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 2009 season commenced and, for better or for worse, my days will not be the same until a month into 2010, when the natural NFL detox commences.
