The breath, the rush, the feeling of the roar as the crowds screams for a touchdown. Yes, the 2010 season of the NFL is about to start and I'll be smiling from ear to ear. Why you may ask? Well ... there are many things that I enjoy in this world:
Poetry
Movies
Music
Photography
But one of my passions is being a NFL fan. I love me some football, but hey ... most people do, and have their reasons to watch games at stadiums, bars, or even on the couch with a bag chips and a 6 pack. For me, there are plenty of reasons to look forward to the football season, but I'll give you my main 5 reasons I'll be looking forward to this year.
5.) Fantasy Leagues - This is a lot of reason I love football. It means the rush, the competition, the battle between 2 opposing forces. I'm not talking about teams, but fantasy owners: who place players against players and hope they get the points needed to beat the other owner. A few years playing Fantasy football and it is one of the most fun I have with friends, family and co-workers
4.) Madden - The most obvious things that signals the start of the NFL season is the release of the epic game (and only game) that represents football; Madden. It is an annual routine for most gamers of sports games all over America to wait in line for hours or save up money to buy this game. For me, it is that point of the year I look forward to in the summer. New teams, new features, new online modes and all the reasons to whoop some ass online and offline against friends and the computer. Makes me smile when I win, and go crazy when I loose ... but in the end, I have fun
3.) Season Tickets - Yes, a dream of mine and my brothers. Last year I was able to attend 2 games live for the first time and I absolutely LOVED it. This year, a gift of all ages. Season tickets to one full season of football games in D.C. I'm not the biggest fans of the Skins, but the football is universal love, and I love football. Plus if I get to see the Cowboys loose, then its well worth it.
2.) Seeings the Packers live (1st time) - This is a continuation of the last reason, but more particular. I get to see my Green Bay Packers live for the first time in my life. This is a dream come true. I have loved the football team from The Frozen Tundra since I was a young gun, and to root for team with my Cheese Head is just going to make the day all more spectacular ...
and the number reason I'm looking forward to football
1.) Green Bay Packers - Nothing has felt so better, and so good, and so right like watching and hoping, that one day I'll see my team head towards the Super Bowl. This is the year. This is the time. We have the potent offense lead by Aaron Rodgers and a crazy blitzing defense lead my the likes of Charles Woodson, Clay Matthews and AJ Hawk ... I bleed the Green and Yellow, I bleed Cheese Head, I bleed the history of Vince Lombardi, the only thing that keeps me smiling, crying, jumping up for joy and souring at a last second lost, is my team ... I have hope for a great season
And there you have it, my 5 reason I have for looking forward to football. I hope you all get excited for this season, it is going to fun ride, no matter how the Super Bowl presents us.
