I hate the summer here in Indy. I loved it in Rhode Island because of the boogie boarding, but not many waves to catch here. Naturally, I live for the fall because of my Packers, and thus I’m happiest when the season rolls around. Sad to see Favre in another uni (it feels like watching your ex-wife out on a date), but I’m happy to see him do well in his first game (and the Jets are favored by 3—CANUBELIEVEIT!—for next week’s home game against the Brady-less Pats. I guess I got my dose of Schadenfreude with Brady’s injury (I really expected that given his complete down-time in the preseason, because that’s when the injury bug catches you in the first game), but frankly, his injury along with Manning’s weak perf makes you appreciate Favre’s amazing ability to keep playing (knock on wood for Rodgers!). I am very nervous going into tonight’s MNF with the Vikes, who are always neck and neck with us (our historic duel is like 45-45-4), especially since they plussed-up nicely during the off-season. I really wish we were looking at an easier start. Overall, we have a nasty sked, based on last season. But as the Not For Long constantly proves, past performance is no guarantee of future success. Still, just so nice to have football back, even with my Brew Crew looking at its first MLB playoffs in … like … forever.
