It's Like a Football Holiday

Today, football season's really really back. The first regular season NFL game - the Titans at the Steelers - and a college game that, if not top tier, is at least nothing to sneeze at. Maybe? Anyway, today is the day that signals, for me, months of relative inactivity.

I'm always amazed, come the second weekend in February, how much free time I suddenly have. In order to counter the dozens of beers and pints of dill, french onion, and cheese dips I'm likely to consume, I should do ten sit ups and ten push ups at the start of each quarter of each game I watch this season. (Note: This will never happen.)
