My Least Favorite Day of NFL Football

Last Sunday was my favorite day of NFL football, the conference championship games. This Sunday is my least favorite. There's no game at all. Another week of waiting for the SuperBowl to be played. I'm not sure why football needs two weeks off before the SuperBowl, but a few years back, they reverted to one week (I think it was when they added a bye week to the regular season). I enjoyed that. I'm not keen on all the hype before the big game, and the week off just adds to it.

My Favorite Day of NFL Football

Tomorrow is my favorite Sunday on the NFL schedule, the conference championships. They lack the nonsense of the SuperBowl. They're definitely not played at neutral sites. This Sunday is likely to be the worst weather Sunday in many locations, a football plus. The fans are electrified because the SuperBowl is on the line. All the regular fans have an opportunity to see the game in person, because they're already ticket holders. I hope to see two good games. My predictions: Chicago and New England. Who I'd like to see: New Orleans and Indianapolis.

Yesternight and Yesteryear

Our five year old is mixing up his pieces of language. Recently he's been applying "yester" from "yesterday" to other time references. We drove past the hardware store (we had been there the night before) and he said, "hey, we were there yesternight." He's also spoken of last Christmas with the word "yesteryear." It's fun to watch their language develop.
