Thank God for FOOTBALL!

[Subdivisions]

I just wanted to take a bit of time out from the doom and gloom of current events and thank God for the sport of football.

I was just sitting here watching the Bengals edging out the champion Steelers and thinking about how upset I was at the TV earlier this morning when the likes of Chris Wallace, Brit Hume and Bill Frist were causing me a coronary and putting my TV set in very real danger of receiving my size ten Nike.

But now, I am calm and watching a great football game on what looks to be a normal, beautiful football day in Pittsburgh and, if it weren't for the fact that I can also peruse DU while I watch, it would be the perfect escape.

You know, maybe I'll just do that. I'm going to thank God for football by spending the next three hours watching it, with my computer turned OFF!

GO SEAHAWKS!

19. i had a tiny doggie who looked just like yours

she was a 5 lb silky named Muffy.

[SammyWinstonJack]

26. Yorkies are the best! Sammy weighs 6.5 lbs and is the sweetest,

very mellow. My husband just bought me a little Yorkie male. He's 7 wks and a little terror :evilgrin: cute as a button, though. He chases Sammy around, won't leave her alone. I am hoping she will adjust to him.

[yorkiemommie1]

32. tooooo cute!

my yorkies are HUGE.

[SammyWinstonJack]

33. Winston is suppose to be 6 lbs when fully grown, he's 1.5

lbs right now. :yoiks: How much do your yorkies weigh? How many do you have? One can never have too many yorkies, imo. :-)

[yorkiemommie1]

34. 2 of them, both rescued

one is 15 cuddly lbs, and SMILES; the other is 19 hefty lbs and is afraid of eating out of any dish than her own! lol!

yours sound darling!!!

[SammyWinstonJack]

35. Aww, all yorkies are cuddly! My Sammy was a rescue. She came to

us when she was 5 mos. Her "parents" didn't want her anymore because they couldn't house train her. They were ready to take her to the shelter, all 3lbs of her. They made her sleep in her pet carrier and she was covered from head to tail in sores! Imagine that? Within one week, I had her house trained, she is so smart! You have lots of yorkie love!

Go Bears!

[Catshrink]

31. Not if they don't play better than they did today.

I'm happy they won but they played some sloppy football. How many penalties? They were damn lucky they pulled it out.

[SeattleGirl]

6. Thank God, indeed!

I am all for fighting the good fight, for keeping our eyes on what the criminals in the White House are doing, but hey, we ALL need some time off to recharge our batteries.

And now, it's kickoff time. GOOOOOOOOOO SEAHAWKS!!!!!!!!!

7. nothing like bread and circuses nt

9. Being a Steeler fan, your post did not cheer me up.

[true_notes]

13. lol

Yeah, what happened? I think Benny got a little to carried away this offseason and brought some problems in the Locker Room. Just my .02.

[MoseyWalker]

24. I understand why you are sad about that game, but

I have to say, Big Ben is not, and has not, been that good of a quarterback. He can manage a game, and usually does not make many mistakes, but he is definitely not a top tier quarterback.

better luck next time!

:hi:

btw, I'm a Cowboys fan, so you understand! full disclosure and all.....

[Flying Dream Blues]

10. Agree...it keeps me sane! I'm more of a Saturday (NCAA)

football girl, but I like sitting here in the den w/ my "boys" (DH and teenage stepson) while they watch NFL...

I'll cheer for whoever anyone wants today...
:)

[sasquatch]

22. Who's your team?

[Flying Dream Blues]

28. Longhorns...bleeding burnt orange here...

Go Bengals!
:hi:

[true_notes]

12. Boo Hoo Hoo

My Titans aren't doing so hot :( I guess there's always next decade.

[MoseyWalker]

23. the Titans in 3 years will be tough

to beat, and exciting to watch.

Just wait, be patient, and see!

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

15. Go Giants! And While We're At It, THANK GOD FOR HOCKEY!

Football's good and all, but when it comes to the therapeutic effects you mentioned that's what Hockey does for me. :)

18. My husband and I are rabid--well, he's rabid--college football fans

Saturday is all about the games. They are a pleasant distraction, aren't they?
