Football FTW.
Oh, how I love football.
Around this time last year, I was bemoaning the death of the Arena Football League and wondering how I'd make it through the college football offseason without it.
This spring, things don't look so dire.
I'm still no NFL fan, but I did attend an epic Super Bowl party on Sunday and, you know, kind of pay attention to the game.
The day before, though, I was in football heaven. I made my first-ever appearance in the Atagi Memorial Bowl presented by Tecmo — otherwise known as a bunch of guys who have some connection or another to TDS running plays on the field at Palm Springs High. That was a lot of fun in and of itself, and the postgame shenanigans proved to be even more... well, YouTube-worthy:
It had been a long time since I had played some football as opposed to just watching it on TV, which has been pretty evident for the past few days. I still have some muscles in random places that are kinda sore.
But it was totally worth it.
And on top of all that football non-fiction, my new guilty pleasure on TV is a scripted series about college football, Blue Mountain State. This show is so not classy, but it makes me laugh... and it fills that little hole in my heart that's all too often left open in the offseason.
Long live football.
