• Top 5 Reasons Why Football Season Kicks Ass

  -  Football kicks ass.  (duh)  there are just so many things to love about football.  the chess match.  the contests between individual players.  the hard hitting.  i love it when a team can methodically drive a ball down the field while chewing up the clock.  i love it when a defense can completely shut down an offense.  the parity.  assuming you’re not the Detroit Lions, pretty much any team can win on any Sunday against any opponent.  they say betting on football is too stressful because of this unpredictability.  i could go on…

  -  It’s the most social of all sports.  it is right now, anyway.  name another sport season where people will predictably go out and eat, drink together to watch a non-playoff game.

  -  Bar food.  everything fucking fried to the max then smothered in melted cheese.  i even tried fried pickles last year (sans cheese) and thought that was delicious. 

  -  Fantasy Football.  actually this is kind of love/hate.  it kills my fan spirit to have to look at the numbers and charts all the time to tally my score regardless of the teams involved.   but, hey, it paid for more than half my new tv a few years ago! 

  -  Football season = hot to cold weather changes.  the air gets cooler and drier.  the leaves change colors.  the smell of burning shit fills the air in a pleasant way.  you people on the west coast miss a gorgeous time of year that is the northeast fall.
