Dead To Me

The Titans have decided to start their season with 3 straight losses, pretty much putting the playoffs out of reach before we even exit September. Seriously - they have to break my heart in the first quarter of the season? So even as my ESPN the Magazine taunts me from the mailbox, I find myself with some unexpected free time for the remaining 13 Sundays of the NFL season.

Here are some ideas on how I can spend this new-found time:

• Figure out how to get a refund for 13/17th's of DirecTV's NFL Ticket.
• Try to glom on to English Premier League soccer [they watch it in bars each week - it must have potential. Go Bolton Wanderers?]
• I hear they have beaches out here.
• Maybe I should get out and travel a little. 
• Read Sarah Palin's memoir?  
• Write catchy little Christmas poems about the farmer's market? [The farmer's market being the alternative Sunday morning ritual. {sigh}]
• My mother would like to point out that CHURCH is always an option.
• Spend the day understanding what it must be like to be a Cincinnati Bengals fan.

At least the number of football blog posts will go down.
