Football Games Ruin Relationships
Not that long ago, I shaved everyday, exercised on the weekends, and had a girlfriend that I loved. And then football season happened and for five months I gorged my face with buffalo wings, chicken nachos, chilli cheese fries, mozzarella sticks, jalapeno poppers, bacon cheeseburgers, and cases upon cases of beer.
And now it’s Saturday, and I’m alone sitting on my couch, my girlfriend broke up with me, I’m fifteen pounds heavier, and I haven’t shaved in three months. And I’m left wondering was it worth it? Was it worth spending five months of my life glued to my television set ignoring the woman that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with so I could become a fat gluttonous pig? And the answer is “yes.”
2007 was one of the most exciting football seasons ever. Filled with college football upsets and epic NFL showdowns. And just when I thought it couldn’t get any better the Giants trounced the undefeated New England Patriots.
So while I might have lost the girl that I truly loved, the worst part is it’s going to be another seven months before the next football season begins.
