thank you, I'm an obsessed NFL fan... nothing better than opening weekend!! Hubby is so sick of me already.
I can't name my team though... I don't want to spoil this warm feeling we are having!
Let's just say I wasn't too upset when I heard about Brady.
BTW Athena has the cutest cheerleader outfits you have ever seen! I highly recommend them.

Goooooooo, Team!

We love, love, love football season !!

Friday night: Hobart High School!

Saturday: Notre Dame.....Go, Irish!! At least be less humilating than last year

Sunday: Bears, Bears, Bears !!!

Friday, fall nights, the crowd, the hot dogs, the band, the flag.....it just feels so good-small-town-America.

Saturday and Sunday, parties to watch the game, sloppy joes, cheers and tears, the excitement.

I am so psyched also. I was watching my favorite team last night, Packers (yes I am a cheesehead) and I scared my poor son when I was yelling at the TV. He thought I was yelling at him. I did get him saying "YEAH FOOTBALL" and putting his arms in the air saying "TOUCHDOWN". It was so cute!!

We are so obsessed at my house that we actually draw up a spreadsheet of the entire season for all teams and place our bets (just win or lose, no money) on which team will win. Then we tally it up each week to see who the winner of the week is!!!!!!

You think that is bad - we have worked DS' whole schedule so he naps from 1 to 3 or 3:30 and then quietly has a sippy cup of milk thereafter just so we can watch at least one game each Sunday! Sick, I tell you.....

HUGE, HUGE, HUGE Buckeye fan here. We have already taught Alex how to do O-H-I-O and he says Go Bucks whenever he sees anyone wearing a red shirt!!

Love NFL also. We are Browns fans (yeah, I know) and Colts fans. I also play Fantasy Football (10th year!) and I won my first game this week.

It's pretty sad.

Boohoo. Does not look like another "perfect" regular season for my PATS. Matt Cassel is no Tom Brady (though maybe they said that about Tom Brady when he replaced Drew Bledsoe?).

The Jets/Pats game this weekend will be muy interesante! Big Favre fan here but I'll have to root against him this week!! I LOVE FOOTBALL!!
