Seeing how the NFL kicked off its season last week, I feel I have an obligation to cover some aspect of the opening weekend. I think they would revoke my Man Card if I didn’t. Seeing how I’m not one to sit and analyze the games, I’ve decided to give you a couple of points to ponder from my NFL opening week observations.
Numero uno is that I am no longer on speaking terms with the city of Denver. This is a bit sad to admit, as I always felt like our relationship would somehow rebound after the episode, but it is evident Denver wants nothing to do with me. I knew we were in trouble after I found the city to be negligent (can you tell I’m taking a law class in grad school or what?) after my episode, but I retained hope that someday we could make up and be happy again. While I was open to trying this, Denver obviously had different intentions, as evidenced when the Broncos ripped my heart out and wiped their butts with it in the play I’m simply calling “The Tip” (I refuse to go into more detail because it hurts too much).
Next, I’ve always thought it would be hilarious and downright fun to have a little person (I’m pretty sure that is PC but if not, to the five people who read this blog, I’m sorry if I offended you) dress up in the same outfit that I was wearing and follow me around for a day. I wouldn’t acknowledge the creepiness involved or that they were even there, despite the fact I would have them mimic my every move. However, it was pointed out to me that I would simply be ripping off the intellectual property (another law term; on fire) of Mike Myers, and I don’t want to get on the bad side of any Canadian (I like our Northern neighbors) so I dropped the idea.
So, inspired by the NFL kickoff week, I’ve decided that I would want to hire one of the “professional” water boys of the NFL to follow me around for a day. I’d have them dress up in green and black, wear .e4 gear along with my logo (that’s the thing to the right on the blog, we’ll get to that one day as well, once again please try to control your excitement). Every so often, when I’m thirsty, I’d blow a whistle and stop the clock for a timeout and have them run over and squirt water into my mouth while they covered my chin with a towel. A little weird, but so refreshing.
OK, now that I feel I’ve done my due diligence as a man to comment on football this past weekend, I’ll go ahead and talk a little bit about what brought me to those observations. My stepdad made his way down to The Nasty this weekend as we had plans to attend a fly fishing school on Saturday and the Bengals game on Sunday; all in all a nice weekend, despite the misery associated with being an Ohio football fan. I’ve also since decided that I’m jumping on the UC Bearcats bandwagon because I figure if all the Ohio Steelers fans can be fair weather fans, why can’t I?
To start out the weekend, on Friday night we decided to try a local Brazilian steakhouse downtown, and it was the bomb diggity (that means good). During the endless plates of meat, we got to talking and stumbled upon the topic of what I think would have happened if I never moved to Denver and stayed in the ATL. I had never given much thought to the idea because I felt that what happened was
