Football!

So tonight is the much discussed and hyped Dallas Cowboys vs Green Bay football game. Too bad that most of Austin can't watch the game, thanks to the standoff between Time Warner Cable and the NFL Network.

Truthfully I don't care that much about NFL football. I'll watch if nothing else is on. And if the Texans or the Cowboys make it to the Super Bowl, then I'll watch. Otherwise, whatever...

But I DO really dislike Time Warner Cable. Thanks to the fact that they kept my yard torn up for months on end. So imagine my delight when I realized last night that our crappy old basic satellite system includes the NFL Network. Evidently we have had the network for a while, I just never cared to check...

So while my neighbors who are served by TW's cable system are cruising to the sports bar to watch the game tonight, I'll be sitting in the big blue chair in my own living room. And I'll probably watching something else.

I can't believe I forgot it was on. Thank goodness for ESPN.

I will head about two miles up the road and meet some friends at a local establishment. At least it is smoke-free (amazing for W-S, NC) and the pints go for $1.99 (love NC pricing!).

Thx for the kind comment yesterday -- I have indeed been more productive this week than I thought I could be. Heck, I'm even commenting now as she sits next to me snacking on milk and cheese!

So, it seems that my satellite service has been giving me the NFL network for FREE..... Superman can dig it, but I only go for the college games!!

Same with me Terry, Pro football is just something to watch on Sundays when college games are not on...
