I've been a little bit heavy-handed with the more serious topics lately so today, I celebrate Broncos single game tickets being on sale with my top ten favorite parts of football season starting up again (aside from the obvious). Here goes.....
1. Spending an ENTIRE Sunday doing absolutely nothing but prepping for and watching football games. Whether you have NFL Sunday ticket or an antennae, you can spend the whole day watching pre-game and post game if you're not actively watching the games themselves. I personally follow the scores of the games I'm not watching on my phone or laptop. It's an opportunity to geek out in the best way possible.
2. Fried food. I'm sorry but I don't buy into the healthy snack thing when it comes to watching games....mozzarella sticks, fried pickles, wings, and anything else I can fry.
3. The ceremonial Broncos game garb. I am ridiculously superstitious when it comes to what I wear for games. I take it very seriously and I don't stray from it. (I think all true sports fans are).
4. Trash talk. Honestly, I hold off 90% of my trash talk until post game. Again, superstition strikes hard. With that being said, trash talk is one of the greatest privileges of the fans.
5. ESPN.com and NFL.com have the BEST articles to read. I spend at least an hour every day looking over everyone's stats, reading the articles and reading my favorite blogs because.....
6. FANTASY FOOTBALL starts up! I have a winning streak a mile wide and I'm ridiculously competitive when it comes to my team.
7. Monday Night Football. After a long day of work, who DOESN'T want to come home and watch a killer football game!?!
8. The chance to go see a game at Sports Authority Field. Seeing a live Broncos home game is an experience that is unparalleled. Adrenaline rush is an understatement.
9. Hearing all the non-football fans go, "Ughhhhh" every Sunday (or seeing it online). I take some small measure of pleasure in hearing people that are obsessed with chick flicks and girly things say, "Ugh, not football season."
10. An opportunity to truly be part of something I love. My Gawd, I love the NFL and my heart is already racing just thinking about football season starting up again! The "family" of Broncos fans here in Denver and beyond are ready to watch PFM kick some ass this year! Let's go Broncos!
