Football is Back, and My Life Has Changed

by Nell Greenway

It has at long last started. NFL season.

Technically it began this past week on the smurf turf in Boise, Idaho in a contest fated to be known for what happened afterwards the blunt Blount party -more memorable than anything that occurred in the course of the 60 minutes of the game.

And now the Steelers - hoping to turn into the first franchise since the Pats to repeat - started their Super Bowl defense with a gratifying win over Tennessee to launch the 2009 NFL year.

I identify I am not as prolific during NFL season. All at once, I am only doing stuff in between commercials, if ever, on weekends, plus Thursday nights, Friday nights, and Monday nights.

Then throw in fantasy football - which severely lessens the amount of time I would otherwise be working, writing, or doing something prolific-and more time than I care to acknowledge get devoted to this sport.

This time of year, I surely don't eat as well.

Wednesday night, I had fish with mixed vegetables and went for a swim after a 6 mile run.

Thursday (game day), I consumed a super burrito, too many chips, several, some more chips, and saw the movie Max Payne following the game, prior to checking fantasy stats for Kerry Collins and then stumbling to bed, full from the chips.

Do not know if there are any football detox programs and even if there are, I wouldn't voluntarily take part. Hopefully my family wouldn't stage some sort of intervention.

Fact is, I do not want to quit, but as a Broncos lover that might change as the season progresses.

NFL and NCAA nfl are religion for a big percentage of the population. We're corn chip-devouring cult members following the rantings of Chris Collinsworth.

So it's on. The '09 year commenced and, like it or not, life will not be the same until a month into 2010, when the natural football detox begins.
