Week 2


Meet... That Guy

No, the bliss you felt getting up last Saturday wasn't just a one time thing. Football is back this weekend! Much like the joy we knew as six-year-olds waking up on Christmas morn, but in this case, Christmas comes every week!

Life is good.

What's gonna suck is trying to get some sleep tonight while visions of trick plays dance in my head. When I was a kid, I could never just doze off knowing the excitement that awaited me in the morning.

Luckily, these days, I've made friends with a fella named Budweiser. He always lays me down to sleep and eases the pain of a slowly approaching gametime. Also, if you overindulge on Friday night, you won't give a rats ass that the game is 6 hours away. That's called "projecting the pain," and I wouldn't recommend it.

The ideal weekend would involve a light Friday night slate of alcoholic activity, followed by a consistent and steady beer regimen on gameday. (read: save the booze until post game - Unless attending said game) You don't want to peak too early . You know the guy...

You're trying to watch the crutial fourth quarter of The Big Game and Mr. Gin-Breath keeps trying to kiss you on the cheek or clumsily grope/massage your girlfriend. Then at 9, he passes out face down in a flowerbed and later gets physically abused with a magic-marker.

Not cool.

He will be ridiculed mercilessly and is usually never invited back (Unless he's your Dad).

Anyway, here's your good times schedule for this weekend:
