Football Mania
The end of July saw the adults in my family experience a sports funk. Soccer was on break, cycling was mostly over, football pre-season hadn't started yet and basketball had just finished up its' season. Our major form of entertainment had left us high-and-dry.
But starting last weekend, that all changed! The adults are a happy bunch again! Soccer started and Handy Hubby was in heaven getting to watch Manchester United lose to Liverpool (oh wait, was that me that enjoyed ManU losing?).
Thursday we were lucky enough to watch the NFL season opener. Wasn't the most exciting game, but it didn't matter. Football was back in the house!!!! Sunday had four games to choose from (well, we didn't choose - we saw em all! And no, sadly we don't have the NFL ticket-though I am thinking that just may be overload!) and tonight is a Monday Night Football double header!!!! Excitement!!!
Handy Hubby and myself do engage in a bit of football rivalry. I am a long-time follower of the San Francisco 49ers and Handy Hubby is a lifetime follower of the Dallas Cowboys. Same division = adult trash talking and wagering. Of course, the hometown team (Arizona Cardinals) are also in that division, but we collectively root for them. Well, unless they are playing one of our true teams....
I am loving this new sport season. I look forward to enjoying it as a family, or with friends and always accompanied with good food! Go Cards!! JCMT
** On a side note, I wrote this blog post Sunday afternoon. Since then, the Cards played a helluva game, but sadly lost. But Handy Hubby and I were both happy our true teams won their games! Better luck next week Cards!!!

Of course, the two Littles do not enjoy football or soccer nearly as much as we do. Reasoning on why Sunday cartoons can't be watched today (because it's Football Day!) is always met with whining and tears. I wonder why? Though, to be fair, they do have a small television set in their playroom in which they can watch movies to dull their pain.
