Are you ready?

It is the time of the year that I anticipate even more than the return of CSI. Yes, it's the NFL kickoff. I live for NFL football (and the office pools). I grew up in football country (Oklahoma) and I've been a huge Dallas Cowboy fan since I was 5 years old and my grandpa gave me a Cowboys' uniform complete with shoulder pads and helmet for Christmas. Big time Tomboy, I was.

Yeah, yeah, I know I live in Redskins country, arch-enemies of the Cowboys, but if you're a true fan, you stay true to your team, even when you move 1200 miles away and into hostile territory. And besides, I sometimes think the Cowboys fans out-number the Redskins fans, especially when they play each other at Fed Ex Field.

I've been to a couple of Redskins-Cowboys games and I have to say that I much prefer watching it on TV. At least when they pause to show the commercials, I actually know why they're stopping, not wondering why they guys on the field are standing around for no apparent reason. Plus two letters: HD. I watched the game yesterday in HD and was shocked and amazed at the picture. It almost made losing more tolerable. Almost.
