let's take a short diversion here...

we are going to take a short break from talking about anything cycling related here.  i have a small confession to make, i love american football.  i love the redskins!  you can feel free to scroll back a page or two and see a little post i made about a year ago in regards to my beloved redskins.  not only have they not won a superbowl since 1988, but, well, the team has since seem to be in some sort of behind the scenes breakdown.  they have also added making a few bad decisions to the mix.  i think we can all relate to the latter.
so this year, i decided i wanted to do fantasy football.  i asked my sister if i could join the league she was in last year.  she informed me i was too late in asking, and the league was filled.  bummer...  well, fast forward two weeks and i received a text from my sis asking me if i was still interested.  sure! i responded back, with enthusiasm!  i agreed to the $40 buy in and excitedly looked forward to fantasy draft day!
team peadalphile (best name, ever?) was selected and i was eager for september 12th to arrive.  well, now it's september 13 and monday night football has come to an end.  team pedalphile is just doing meh.  i never realized how many statistics were involved in the game of football.  is anyone really good at this?  i'll throw you a $20 and my password, and you bench the people i need to for the upcoming week!

football!!!

why do i love fall? because football season is here! i am talking about the american kind. i'm looking at you katie, <_< >_>. yes, there is a ton of commercial breaks and bud light sponsorship, but seriously, the tailgaiting dog commercial makes me laugh every time. i wish sophie would carry around mustard and ketchup for me on game day. soo, my beloved redskins are 1 and 1. we play the lions this sunday. jesus, we better win. they have a 20 game losing streak. yes, that's two seasons long. i am sure by november i will be referring to my team as the deadskins. they always seem to fail me, but i still stick by them. i have to! my blood runs the 3 stars, 2 bars. dc is my hometown (brookland baby!), and i never picked up any other team even through all those dreadful years. so, here's to a new season, hopefully a winning season. chris cooley, will you marry me? i follow you on twitter, is that enough to show my loyalty? in closing, "hail to redskins, hail victory! braves on the war path, fight for old dc!" see you on the couch on sundays!
