NFL Football

I am so ashamed of what I've done. It's worse than you think. I became a fan of the Miami Dolphins.

This time of year is bittersweet for many, including me. It's playoff time! Yabba Dabba Do!! But, that also means that we're heading like a bullet train to the end of the season. Horrible.

I love NFL Football. I'm a junkie, hooked, jonesing, thirsty - whatever you want to call it, there am I. Some people enjoy the Super bowl for the commercials. Others, the food and party. I'm in it for the game.

Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy the commercials, so I watch them, and I do enjoy the food. What I don't enjoy is all of the chatter that goes on during the game. People get offended. Sorry. To me, it's like going to the theater to catch a live performance, and people having conversations. It's not done.

We tolerate it because we must. The ladies are there, and most couldn't care less about the game. Luckily, my wife is a football fan. Shannon, a dear friend of ours, is a die hard fan. They are the only ladies close to me that really enjoy the game.

I even hate the half time show. I don't care who's performing. The intermission is far too long. I don't like all of the pregame hype either. I record the game and wait for about 45 minutes to start watching. Why? So I can fast forward through the half time marathon. Get back to the game, already.

Some would say that is fanaticism, and they would be right. That's why it's bittersweet. Tomorrow, it's over. No more Sunday, Monday or Thursday games. It's over until the fall.

Baseball isn't quite the same, even though I'm a San Francisco Giants fan, and they are awesome. 162 games? Let's fast forward to September. The season is winding down to the "World Series" (another blog coming on that topic), and when it's over, it's right into NFL action. Yabba Dabba Do!!

See you tomorrow.
