Cigar Musings

What the…?! I was driving home from work last Friday evening listening to ESPN radio, knowing full well this year’s football season is in jeopardy but, I thought for sure the owners and players would work something out. No football for me equals no money for either the players or the owners. I am not anyone of their sides, I truly believe they can work it out if they really wanted to.

I don’t know if I ever mentioned how much I really enjoy Netflik which gives me access to many different movies that I can stream onto my computer to watch at any time. One of the movies I decided to watch on last Friday was North Dallas Forty which takes place back in the 70’s and it is about football. If you haven’t seen it yet, watch it and if you have seen it watch it again. It isn’t a comedy though there are some funny scenes in it, it is more of a drama. What struck me the most is the beginning of the movie as the star of the movie, Nick Nolte struggles to get out of bed in the morning and I started to wonder how much do the current players struggle to get out of bed after a game. I truly believe they are sore after a game but, I never really think about… All I do is watch and enjoy the game never really concerned about how a player feels after the game unless they are seriously injured. Sounds selfish, I know but, how many of fans truly think about it? I am sure there is something the two sides can work out, make it work and I don’t really care to know the details. I just want them to get back so, they can entertain my lazy butt that sits in my soft recliner on Sunday afternoons and Monday nights with a beer in my hand.

Check out the trailer below for North Dallas Forty.

Until next time, Light’em Up!
