Thank God we have football to watch again. Hooray!

The preseason games are scattered all over the TV schedule.We have games on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday for the next couple of weeks.

The Titans played their first game away, and lost to the Seattle Seahawks. We are looking forward to their first home game this weekend and, hopefully, a win this time against the Cardinals.

Probably to no one’s great surprise, the Pittsburgh Steelers won the Super Bowl tonight. The Arizona Cardinals put more points on the board than we expected, but not enough to win the game. The game was back and forth, with a lot of flags and penalties, a couple of heroic moments, and the game winning points scored in the last few seconds of the game. So it was a good game and not as big a blow out as the experts were predicting. Congrats to both teams for getting to the Super Bowl and to the Steelers for their 6th win of the NFL’s championship game.

So much for my cook-out plans, on the back patio, for the game later today, old man winter has hit us hard, the wind is blasting and the temperature is dropping by the minute. There should only be about 6 or 7 of us here this afternoon so I should be able to satisfy their ravishing appetites with out too much trouble, there is just something about bar-b-queuing outside in the winter months, it gets the adrenaline going, it’s invigorating and the smell just makes the whole atmosphere so much the better.

By the way, I’m betting on the Eagles tonight, the Redskins don’t seem to do well on their own home turf and have had a devastating end of the season to live down, so I don’t see them as having much ass behind them for this game being held in Washington D.C.
