No football

Okay, this might have been the first weekend since I was about seven years old that I was completely cut off from football.  No high school, no college, no NFL.  No highlights, no scores, no knowledge at all.  On the one hand, that's probably a good thing because it reminds me that life goes on and that I can survive without such knowledge of whether Drew Brees has gone deep or if Notre Dame is still winless.  (He did and they aren't.)  But it is also a bit frustrating that in this age of information and technology, I had to wait until my return to digital civilization to find out that my fantasy football teams went 2-1 this week. (Damn you, Bill Belichick!  If the Patriots shut out Vincent Jackson instead of Antonio Gates, that's a 32 point swing.)  Anyway, I did survive and my weekend was most enjoyable.  That I had to wait until Tuesday to learn that CU again beat CSU and that my Broncos are not dead while the Chiefs are was not the end of all and my slow scroll through Yahoo Sports built an anticipation that was not entirely unpleasant.  I do, however, have a new found appreciation for those lazy fall weekends when I can do little else.
