It's Tough to be a Football Fan

Sunday is a major football day in the US and DH's and my teams were both playing. No, we don't support the same teams, although we're happy to cheer the other team on as long as we're not playing each other. Yesterday started off at noon with DH's Minnesota Vikings playing a disastrous game against the New Orleans Saints which the Vikings lost 9 to 20. Ouch! It was a cold day at Renaissance Festival and sitting out of the sun to watch the first half was really hard. I was iced by the time we left at the halftime to seek the sunshine and warm up a bit. We skipped the third quarter and DH watched the fourth quarter on his phone while we were driving home. He's really liking his new smartphone - LOL.

It's pretty amazing that he can catch the game wherever he's at and watch
it in the palm of his hand. 

We arrived home just in time for the kickoff of my Denver Broncos vs Seattle Seahawks game. This was a replay of last year's Super Bowl game and I was hoping my Broncos wouldn't be as humiliated as they had been in January. Things didn't start out well, but an amazing 80 yard progression in less than one minute at the end of the fourth quarter by Denver sent the game into overtime. What a fabulous move up the field. The NFL has some new rules in place for their sudden death overtime situations and, unfortunately, we lost the toss. Russel Wilson took the Seahawks down the field and Denver's defense just couldn't hold them back. Final OT score: Seattle 26, Denver 20. I'm bummed that Denver lost, but it was a great game to watch. I was glued to the TV for 3-1/2 hours.

It was a classic match-up with two excellent teams. Even though
Denver lost, it was well worth watching. 

After dinner, we both called it an early night and I was asleep by 8:30 pm. My goodness - I'm turning into my parents with bedtimes that early! But I really needed the sleep and I'm happy to have had the opportunity to catch up on some. This coming weekend is the final weekend of Renaissance Festival. I'm already preparing to bundle up - this time of the year does tend to be cold.

Gotham has possibilities, although I might only watch one or two
episodes before deciding against it. 

The new season of TV shows started last night and DH is focused on figuring out how to watch various shows he's interested in. I'll have some conflicts too - Big Bang Theory has been moved to Monday nights opposite Gotham which sound like it'll be fun to watch. I'll have to catch Gothom on on-demand or streaming instead. Tuesdays will be NCIS and NCIS New Orleans (at least for a while). I haven't looked much farther. I know I'll be dropping shows as I watch them and decode they are 'meh', but new entertainment is always initially fun.

I have high hopes for NCIS New Orleans, although I'm not sure
I want to block out two hours for NCIS on Tuesday nights. 

I hope you had a wonderful weekend and have a truly excellent Monday.
