I have never been really into football, unless you can call the socializing aspect of football being into it. I am all about the socializing! I think it started back in 7th grade when me and all my friends would go to the HS football home games every Friday night. It was a chance to get together with everyone outside of school and talk, gossip, etc. Who cares about the game? Cheer and clap when they do something good and ignore all the bad moves. I am not even ashamed to admit I still have the same attitude. My brother Brian played football for years and it wasn't until I was in college that I actually realized that there was a separate offense and defense and that they didn't all play on the field at the same time. I know you're laughing right now, and I am not kidding!! I played soccer for 12 years and our defense and offense all played at the same time. How was I to know football was any different?
Where I was trying to go with this is that football provides a great chance to get together with friends, even if you couldn't care less about the game itself. Of course it usually helps if the team you're rooting for is half a shit. The Vikings? Not so much. Don't start hating on me, Vikes fans!
Anyway, the neighbors had a yummy little get together and I enjoyed my day quite a bit, despite the fact that I did not watch one minute of the Vikings get their a$$es handed to them by the Packers ;)
The boys on the other hand, take this junk way too seriously. They dress up for every game and in some cases, dress up the kids AND the dogs!
I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend!
THat Packers game was AWESOME!!!!!!

Ha! Those dogs are pretty funny!
We had a bye week (the Patriots that is). It felt weird with no football game to watch yesterday. I love sports and my husband could care less! He refuses to wear T-shirts with team logos. I do dress the baby up though :)

I LOVE football and love the Vikings no matter how bad they are. We have season tickets so we are out there tailgating every time before the game. We even plan our yearly vacation around the Vikings. We find out the new Vikings schedule every April and we pick a place that we would like to go to and travel to see the Vikings play that team. We have been to Philadelphia, Seattle, San Francisco and Dallas to see the Vikes. Next year it's New Orleans or Tennessee!
