Football is back again

The season's started, beer is chilling , and there is enough chips and salsa for the next four weeks.  My favorite team if you want to know is the Pittsburgh Steelers...  Growing up near Pittsburgh was football heaven  Legendary icons like Mean Joe Grean, Jack Lambert, Mel Blount, Terry Bradshaw, Franco Harris, Mike Webster...the lists go on.  It wasn't always all glory and swagger. I remember watching Bradshaw in his first starting season...third and 64 was a common theme.

So why passion for football and not baseball.  Well I guess its because in baseball the perfect game is a game of catch... nothing really happens until nine guys collectively try 27 times to reach first base and don't succeed. 

Football on the other hand is entertaining on so many levels...have you ever been to a Raider's game?  Raider games are like Halloween meets extreme fighting.  You really can't get much better than that and the way that team plays nowadays it's more fun to watch the seats...a lot more action happening there.

Other pluses its a good reason to get drunk before noon, posture with bravado and swagger and second guess everything
