It’s getting closer with every breath we take. With every article we read, or interview we hear. Every day it grows stronger in more than thirty locations around the nation. It’s almost palpable. Like a living breathing entity that needs time to grow and take shape, it has times of frustration and times of excitement, albeit in small amounts. To some, it’s like the Loch Ness Monster in that it isn’t even a real thing. To others, it’s as real as life itself.
Football season.
Football Is Back, And So Am I
Aside from winning the Super Bowl, hoisting the Lombardi Trophy over one’s head and uttering the famous line, “I am going to Disney World,” there are few stronger football emotions than the feeling we all got when the announcement was made, “Football is back”. I always laughed at the notion of “Christmas in July,” until I realized that the announcement that the NFL lockout was over, was made on July 25th.

If you’re looking for a blog about a Washington Redskin fan favorite returning home – then this blog is the wrong place to look! Sort of.

‘Tis the season for family and friends, Santa Claus and Christmas wishes. For many others, it is the time for running up credit card bills for presents that will occupy a landfill near you by springtime. It also means spending time with people that you don’t see all year (by choice in many cases) and … Read more
In light of the recent on (and off) field altercations the subject of fans interaction with players has come under the microscope but perhaps at this point, it is like the farmer who shuts the barn door after the horse gets out. The sports world has grown from a subculture to a culture all of … Read more
Football and sex. These days, the two seem to be more closely linked than beer and wings. The two have always seemed to find themselves in the same bed (yes, pun intended). Sure, you hear stories about the wild lives led by pro athletes in other sports like the ones that former Major League pitcher … Read more
The Pennsylvania State University is actually located in University Park, Pennsylvania. It is also commonly known as Happy Valley. Happy Valley? Obviously that name was not obtained by the recent performance of the university’s once crown jewel; the football team. The teams struggles may have reached a level that neither the fans nor the all … Read more
A loud voice has been calling for a change in our nation’s capitol. You may have heard it. You may also have heard another voice saying that no change should be made. The voices have debated about who should be running the show and who the best man for the job is. Both men feel … Read more
It is no secret that I am a lover of football. Yes, I truly love football. No matter what level, where it is being played, when they are playing or even who is playing. It would be a stretch to include the Canadian Football League but in a pinch it would probably do. Of the … Read more
Anyone seen Billy Kilmer? Joe Theismann? How about Doug Williams? Heck, how about someone with a pulse and an arm that is capable of breaking a pane of glass with a thrown football?
