FOOTBALL SEASON HAS RETURNED

It's my favorite time of the year...the return of football season. I am very fortunate that my wife is not only tolerant of my football fanaticism, but she actually enjoys it right alongside me.

We started this kickoff weekend by attending a high school football game on Friday night. We went to see the Minnetonka Skippers play the North Minneapolis Polars. The stadium was really nice for a high school, and the atmosphere was fun. When we left at halftime, Minnetonka was winning 28-0.

On Saturday night we stayed home and watched Ohio State beat up on Texas. That was disappointing, and it wasn't a very fun game to watch.

I was all pumped up to watch the Chiefs game today. We got home from church and plopped down on the couch only to discover that the Chiefs game wasn't being broadcast on our channels. We quickly trekked over to Buffalo Wild Wings in Plymouth to watch the game. I wish we'd stayed home. What a miserable game to watch. Needless to say, we were devastated when Trent Green was blatantly assaulted by that punk from Cincy. We're starting the season 0-1. Oh well, at least Denver lost too.

Well, I'm off to go watch the Colts and Giants. And I'm looking forward to BOTH Monday Night Football games tomorrow. What a great time to be a football fan!
