Football Wars
That special feeling has filled the air. The wind has an extra bite. Conversation around the office picks up. Weekends feel much more important.
Football season has arrived, possibly my favorite part of the year.
I follow a lot of sports, but football seems to take precedence more and more each year. Sure, I’m still a soccer fanatic, but I can drift in and out of the seasons with my favorite team. Only the U.S. national team gets me worked up anymore.
I don’t get worked up about football, to be honest. I just get excited. Maybe it’s how well the games go with food and beer. Maybe it’s the gambling. Maybe it’s because I know the whole thing drives my wife nuts.
Yes, I live in a house divided by our interest in football. I love the game. She would be perfectly happy if it disappeared tomorrow.
