And So It Begins

A new NFL season that is. Not that I care very much but for Hubby the Great, he has been waiting for this since February. And with each new season comes a close personal relationship with the T.V. every Sunday (and sometimes Monday night too if his beloved Chicago Bears are playing).

Oh but being a football fan doesn’t just constitute cursing at the T.V. at regular intervals anymore. It has become A WHOLE LOT MORE.

The introduction of fantasy football leagues has virtually ensured that being a fan is a 24/7 job. There are trades to be made, lineups to be set during the week. Then there is the obsessive checking of scores on game day. I’m not sure if Hubby the Great spends more time watching the games as he does running to the computer.

This is all harmless fun though as I can tell it really enhances Hubby the Great’s football season experience (and I didn’t think that was even possible). But this year, he has got himself a recruit…
