Let the Games Begin!

Football Season!!!!



Our household is very excited for football season to start! Will has been talking about it for months! I mean, this is the reason we have cable! Will is a Redskin fan (number 2 team is Tampa) and has crossed me over from a Cowboy fan (I know - how can that be??)... Well time away from the sport (I went 6 years without cable), the fact that the team (Redskins) is in the area I live in (being from Oregon you don't have that & I have always hated the Seahawks - sorry Mel), and TO helped a bit too. I don't like any of the Cowboy players (sorry dad) and I love Randle El!!!

I was a little nervous when talk of Michael Vick coming to the Skins was going around. I would not be a fan of him, but would still want to cheer for the team...dilemna...well one that did not happen! Don't get me wrong, I know Vick served his time and there are people playing in the NFL have done things just as bad if not worse that are still playing, but I don't want him on my team. He can go play for the Seahawks!

So you know what we will be doing on Sunday and Monday nights! Drinking beers, eating "football food" and screaming our heads off!!! Colin loves to growl so I am sure that his Daddy can teach him what teams to growl at.

Hopefully we will be able to go to a few of the games. So far we have made it to two (Will has been to 3). While I was pregnant Will took me to see the Redskins play the Steelers. It was fun to watch. I enjoyed seeing Troy Polamalu since he went to high school near where I am from and I think he is an exceptionally good player with a great attitude. After Colin was born, we also went to see the big rival game (Cowboys vs Redskins). This was very exciting for me since I did grow up a big Cowboy fan and always wanted to see them play.
