The Review
Woo Hoo!! Right on!! Finally!!!!

When I was about 7, I decided I was going to grow up to be a quarterback. Period. I figured if I got injured and could no longer play, I would be a cheerleader. Just to be able to get into the games for free.

I remember watching football every weekend when I was growing up. In high school, the highlight of the week was Monday Night Football.. especially if the Bears were playing. (OK... so 1985 was MY year!!). When we weren't watching or talking about football, Bettie and I were tossing one in the street between our houses.

When I was older... and had my first apartment, Mondays were for Margaritas by the pitcher while watching the games at this fabulous Mexican Restaurant nearby. The only reason I finally got a television was to watch games at home. When did that change? When did I stop watching the game I so enjoyed?

When I got married. Damn it!!

No longer. This is a new season, and a new me. Armed with this book in one hand, and the remote in the other, I'm gong to settle back into being a person I have neglected lately... a football fan!!
