Football is back...Here is to a good season.

[Captain]

close-lining my little brother on the front lawn......ahh football.

wut?

[The Breeze]

wut?

Well, it was a while back. He's too big for that now...he might twist me in half.

But we used to go out on the lawn at halftime and play one on one. Just kick the ball to eachother and see if we could break the others tackle attempt.

Nostalgia...you know, memories?

Haha no I got the nostalgia part...and all the rest of it, just never clothes lined my brother ever...I think my mom woulda skinned me alive if she saw me doing that

Big age difference?

Close-lining was the nicest thing I did to my little brother while playing backyard ball!

I hear you, Breeze, it is a nostalgic time. But ever since I moved to TX some 10 years ago the seasons are all funked up. It's still in the high 90s by the start of the season, no hint of autumn in the air. By mid season it's gorgeous: 70's and sunny. Makes sitting on the couch watching a game on Sunday afternoon a bit tough. I almost yearn for a blizzard to justify it!

ohh I never really clothes lined him. Just joking around. I have an odd sense of humor.

He was easy to tackle once I got hold of him. He was fond of cutting my legs at the last second as I tried to bowl him over when I had the ball.

I hear you about the weather. It got cold fast here. Extremely hot all summer then bang!.... time for jackets and long pants.
There's been a few good days of fall weather but it looks like the rains are going to be almost a month early and therfore winter too.

Really? That was on page 1 of my big brother handbook... actually I didn't clothes line him, just flipped him up in the air and he landed on his head, he's mostly back to normal

Heeeeey!

....time for jackets and long pants.

As opposed to those short pants, you don't want those.

My kids are like UFC fighters and my daughter is the tough one

I believe it!

Anyways, just a little bit longer and it's officially here. Yeeeeesss! Finally!

[Funkytown]

IF you have an hour to spare, I found this highlight video of the 2012 season. I get chills every time I watch AD break one.

Sunday can't come any sooner.

Wow. Nice. I watched a bit of it, but it feels a little silly now to get all excited about Vikings football. Just a tease. It looks awesome, though. Over an hour of highlights? Dang. I'll watch on Sunday! It'll get me even more pumped! I agree, come. on. Sunday.

@FunkMaiden

Yes, the short pants. And sometimes, when I am alone, I like to wear the stretchy pants.

Nachoooooooooo!

Funny thing is, I don't even doubt it.

Never doubt the stretchy pants. They increase speed and vertical leaping ability.

30mins to kickoff...enjoy the game~

You too! It's hard to go against Manning, because he's my favorite non-Vikings player, but I have to go with the Ravens on this one.

Either way, these games count--and they're serious. Should be a great game!

Or not. Weather delay? It really is turning into the National Touchfootball League.

Lightning.

Afraid to let anyone go onto the field, but they let 30,000 or more people still sit in the stands. Huh?
