Are you ready?

In honor of the official start to the football year and the win of the Steelers over the Dolphins:

That's right boys and girls, that glorious time of year is upon us once again. (And there was much rejoicing!)

Time for fellowship and beer.

Time for the thrill of victory, and the tortured agony of being a Brown's fan.

Time for impossibly high expectations in the greater Washington D.C. metro area.

Time for Jeff George sightings, flea-flickers, and "nagging groin injuries".

Time for the final outcome of 60 minutes of epic struggle between 300 pound behemoths to hinge upon a 150 pound place kicker.

Time to wonder if maybe this will be the year that the Icky Shuffle makes its big return.

Time to start setting the over-under on how many drinks it would take to get Kornheiser and Theismann to duke it out in the MNF pressbox.

Time for the glorious triumph of Sunday Ticket over the hated commercial break, and the even more glorious triumphant return of the second-game-nap.

Time for football.

Yea football.

I figured out our problem. John Hall is listed at 240. That makes him heavier than Ladell Betts. Maybe if we had a 150-pound kicker we would have a little more success. Where are you Mark Mosely?

Yup, I'm sure that's it. Entirely. :-)

Ahhh yes, may the blog heckling begin. I think this matt character talks too much. He should stick to commenting on blogs in his own country.
