It's a Great Day for Football

I have had an excellent day thus far. I woke up at 2:45 this morning and headed off to a friends house to watch some NFL football. Now that day light savings is on in the West games start at 3am as opposed to 2am because Koreans don't abide by those crazy farmer laws. Schedule-wise this works out really well because when 7am rolls around I can get out and walk to school from my friend's place. So now I'm at school well rested and it feels like 11am instead of the crack of dawn. I even beat my super keen co-teacher to work today.

As for the football games they all went my way. The Eagles, my team, staved off the Professional Washington Football team in the fourth quarter after giving up sixteen unanswered points. The Raiders and Texans had a B+ shootout. The Lions blew the game in a back-alley, running a fake field goal when they were up by four. Then the Steelers put some salt in the wound throwing a lob into the end-zone for a 37-27 win courtesy of Jim Schwartz egregious play-calling and the Steelers defense triple teaming Calvin Johnson. Oh yeah, Bobby Rainey torched Atlanta on several occasions giving the Buccaneers a big win. Geno Smith shit the bed against Buffalo, whose defense took over the game. Arizona beat Jacksonville... who cares? Finally, Vontaze "Perfect" Burfict not only ran through some unfortunate athlete who plays for the Browns, but recovered his own forced fumble and took it to the house! Cleveland never recovered, in fact they haven't recovered since Lebron. It was my first time experiencing NFL Redzone and it's target audience is anyone with ADD. I do miss hearing those little announcer stories about all of the athletes and, of course, all those trivia worthy stats.

Fantasy wise I couldn't be happier. Megatron had a great game bring in a whopping 29.9 points. Harry Douglas got 19 and change thanks to garbage time. That made up for Bush's measly 3.3. I had Luck and Fleener playing the Thursday game and they both delivered too. Boldin's playing great (for now) and Hauschka kicked a 50-yarder before I left. This all covers my butt if Peyton torches the Chiefs' D. Still 106 points makes me a happy camper  

This beats watching the ticker on Yahoo! at school. Now I'll definitely do this again if I can stay up until 9 tonight and go back to a regular sleeping pattern. That's my prayer up to the NFL gods. Make it happen.

I really like writing this blog so I'll probably start writing more of them too if the opportunity presents itself.
