Dawn's Thursday Thiteen, edition 9: Are You Ready??

Thirteen Things That Make Me Ready for Some Football

1) Belichick press conferences. the man isn't intimidated by *anyone*, least of all the media & he never tells them more than he wants them to know, no matter how many times they badger him. for example, Belichick on Deion Branch's absence: "I'm here to talk about football, to coach the team. I'll talk about the players that are here this year."

2) Peyton Manning. or more specifically, commercials that make Peyton look ridiculous. =P

3) seeing teams head-to-head at the line of scrimmage like this:


4) Monday Night Football. new & improved with PTI's Tony Kornheiser. the man is mildly insane & has no patience for anyone. he's going to bring a whole new dimension to football commentary. perhaps one that doesn't include considering every play the most incredible ever witnessed & every player the all-time star of his position.

5) the start of football season means that the end of peak hurricane season is coming close behind.

6) Brett. Favre. one more time.

7) impossible catches. flawless drives down the field. high adrenaline moments when the ball crosses the goal line for a touchdown.

8) because what could be better than having the Red Sox on one channel & the Patriots on the other, so i can switch back & forth between the two?

9) simultaneous victories by the Patriots & the Red Sox

10) yet another sports-themed post to drive Michelle insane ::evil laugh:: she can only resist for so long. she did find herself sucked into the baseball trade deadline frenzy on Monday before she even knew what happened! >=]

11) fantasy football. if you haven't played, you don't understand.

12) seeing the Bucs lose. which is almost as satisfying as seeing the Yankees lose. *almost*.

13) i already mentioned Peyton Manning once but...i am also looking forward to seeing him take his fair share of hard hits. something satisfying about that, in the same way that i find great amusement in watching his younger brother, Eli, just run away. at least Peyton takes it like a man. until he cries. =P
