Cigar Musings

Yay!!! Another Football Season begins today! Today should be treated like a National Holiday. We shouldn’t have to be stuck at work, we should be at some type of Kickoff Party. I can’t wait to rush home after work to watch Philly duke it out with Atlanta. It should be a good game. I am hoping right up to the last few seconds, we are all on the edge or our seats waiting to find out the final outcome. I placed my money on the Eagles. Don’t get me wrong… I have much respect for Atlanta’s team and I know Foles is QB-ing tonight but, I just have this gut feeling. I really hope it is a nail biter, the first game of the season has to be a great close game no matter who wins or loses.

Speaking about losing, my Fantasy Football Team The Scheisskopfs doesn’t look too good. I was struggling during our League’s draft this past Monday night while enjoying a smooth smoking Arturo Fuente Rosado Gran Reserve and slurping down an ice cold, delicious Sam Adams Octoberfest beer. I wasn’t able to get the Running Backs I wanted which is strange because I was the second one to select my pick. So, I ended up with a Running Back who decides to hold out. What the…?! But, then again I was rather distracted with bbq-ing up some grub on the old grill and my Brothers were in town to stay the night. I envy my Brothers because, they are leaving for a nice, long road trip. I love to fly and flying is faster than driving; however, there is an excitement of being on an open road and being able to stop at different locations to see and experience. Not sure if that makes sense but, anyway… Before I ramble on about road trips,  I am not too happy with the players I selected for my Fantasy Football team. I believed I over analyzed each player this year, when I should have just stuck with my old method that I used the past few seasons and ended up with a pretty good crop of players. So, maybe renaming my team from the D-Holes to The Scheisskopfs is appropriate. If you don’t know the word scheisskopf, feel free to Google it. Some days, I feel like a scheisskopf.

As I am writing about my Fantasy Football team, I now have that old tune stuck in my head, Life Is Just A Fantasy by Aldo Nova. I LOVE that old song. When I was a Kid it was my favorite.

Anyway, I hope all of your Fantasy Football dreams come true this year and the Green Bay Packers at least make it to the playoffs this year. I don’t expect the Pack to make it the Super Bowl but, that is a whole other blog post.

Until next time, keep your stogies humidified and your beer cold.

Go Pack Go!!!
