Football Season One Month Away -- Photo of the Week 3 Aug 2009

This week's PotW isn't all that humorous, but it is one of joy and hope:


It's August, meaning that football season is CLOSE. Unbearably close. Can you feel it? Here's what I'm looking forward to:

1. College Gameday and swearing at Lee Corso for being a front-runner
   
2. Lou Holtz and his cotton-mouthed delivery
3. The woman commentator with the suspiciously masculine voice on ESPN2 doing 2nd tier games.
   
4. Buying this book and reading it.
   
5. The smell of BBQ and the stench of alcohol in my apartment as I make beer brats.
6. Playing counselor as friends call me upset about what our teams are doing wrong, and reassuring them that, yes, they could coach football much better than any of those idiots.
   
7. Let's strike out item #3. I'm so ecstatic that I got confused.
8. Talking strategy and about all the subtleties of football that make it absolutely beautiful (see above picture)
9. Mocking the media for slobbering all over Tim Tebow as demigod, creator of the avian flu vaccine, broker of a peace deal in Kashmir, stopper of tectonic plate shifts to prevent all future earthquakes...ech. You get the idea.
10. Fostering my love for the NFL that began during the past year's playoffs.

What'cha got on your list of things to look forward to?


Happy Monday. If talk of football doesn't get you amped for the week, nothing will.
