Football

I genuinely enjoy watching football on Sunday afternoons with Rod.  However, it is no fun when the team you want to win doesn't.  Case in point, the Dolphins.  While I know Jets fans did not like Chad Pennington, I still think it stinks that he was out of a job because Brett Favre decided he didn't want to retire after all.  As one who lost a job this year I am especially empathetic towards Pennington.  So, what must the poor guy face?  First game of the season he has to meet his old team the Jets with their new quarterback Brett Favre.  And he lost!  Poor kid.

The second game of the day was worse...the Cowboys beat the Browns.  I just hate the Cowboys and I could care less who they play as long as the Cowboys get beat.  But why did my Sunday have to get ruined because network programming forced me to watch that game.  couldn't they have given me something else?

Next week should be better because the Giants will be playing on Sunday.  Even if they lose, I still have a real interest in the game, the players and their stats.  Sadly, I will be stuck with another Jets game, but that's the nature of the programming beast here in New York.  My only real concern is whether or not I will be able to really let loose and cheer when our cadet (one we are sponsoring...more on that topic at another time) is here.   We'll see.  He didn't get offended when I joked with Tyler about how they serve "snacks" at church.
