Well today is my first ever Football Sunday here in the USA and to be honest, I could not be happier. This morning I was super happy when the Patriots played the Titans (and won mind you) but because it was a 1pm Eastern game time, meant a 10am start over here in the West. So I made sure I had done some of my chores before even that time. I made sure I had done all my grocery shopping and everything before even having breakfast, that way I could sit down at 10am and enjoy at least the first half of the game in relative comfort, eating my breakfast, having some coffee and just relaxing. Before of course resuming my usual Sunday morning of cleaning.
Anyway it was a great game, and the Pats won (although I missed the end of the game as my sirius subscription doesn’t cover the NFL 🙁 ) and It was a great start to the year. The Longhorns won their game to (45-0 against New Mexico) so for my first weekend of American football in my new home (now im glad i dont have to get up at 3am to watch the games) I am super happy.
Heres to more Football!!!
Hey Mal,
Good to see you’re enjoying life in the US.
Your blog post reminded me of the day I went to a sports bar in San Francisco in November 2009 and watched the Colts defeat the 49ers (the game was in Indy though so I couldn’t attend). The bar was the headquarters of the local NY Giants fan group.
I see the Patriots are playing in Seattle next month – are you going to go to the game?
How many wins do you think the Colts will manage this season?

Yep, already purchased seats to the Patriots vs Seahawks game, it managed to sell out pretty damn quickly.
