When the pre-season started and we won, and won, and won again, I felt that old optimism rise. I'm such a gluttonus fool. LOL Our D actually looked decent during the pre-season. I figured if our D was staunch, they would keep us in any game and that would allow for some hope. Opening weekend I was in Vegas. I've never bet on sports before. Soooooo there I am all pumped up about it being opening weekend and heck, we are playing the lowly Falcons. It couldn't get better right? So I bet. Not just one bet....oh noooooooo, I made two bets. One just on the Lions and then another where you pick 3 teams and if all 3 teams win? Well you can turn a 20 dollar bet into a quick 150. Soooooo I'm all settled in with a bunch of other football fans from various cities with tv screens everywhere. Any game you want to watch you can. Sooooo opening kickoff happens and then everything gets a bit fuzzy. Not because I'm drinking and half in the bag. Atlanta puts up a 21-0 lead and I've barely settled in to watch this thing. What in the world is goin on?
About the only thing that rips me out of my depression is the NE faithful in the room groaning when Brady goes down. I turn my attention to that and I think to myself. "Oh my buddy is gonna be sooooo mad at me". You see, we drafted in fantasy football and I made a boneheaded move and took both Peyton and Tom early on. Forgetting they had the same bye week. So I offer my buddy Tom for Drew Brees. He's all but salivating to take that trade.
He is still talking to me.....LOL
