Kickoff Weekend

I had been waiting all weekend for sunday to come around so i could finally watch football again. This was the first year that I have got in a football pool that i have been helping my dad with the last few years. It's a knockout pool where you pick one team each week that you think is going to win. The catch is that you cannot pick one team more than once. So your indianapolis colts you might want to save for a week that is tough. I picked the eagles thinking that they would roll on Greenbay, because they have done just that the last 5 years in a row. Saturday night i met this girl who was a diehard Greenbay fan and i knew then that this was a bad sign and i should change my pick. However, it ended up being a long night to say the least and i didnt wake up until 230...and by this time it was too late to change my pick. To make a long story short philly muffed two punts and ended up losing the game in the last second. The girl i had met the previous night later showed up at my door with a cheesehead on and a packers jersey. It was a bad day. To make things worse my favorite team, the dolphins, lost in overtime to my cousins favorite team the redskins. Lets hope the rest of the season goes better than opening weekend.
