Sep 9, 03:03 PM · Damn Football Season

The air is getting crisp, beer tastes much better suddenly, and nachos call out to me as my food of choice. Yes, football season is back, probably the largest distraction from Golden Boy there can be. I can’t help it, I have to avoid watching TV for any extended period of time Saturday, or I’ll end up catching some game, then the next one after that. I love college football, but I usually enjoy NFL Monday Night Football too. I try hard to resist the urge to leave the house and go to a bar with a friend to watch a game. I’ve done good so far, limiting myself to Nebraska football only. When this damn book is done, I’m laying around for a months worth of Saturdays.

One of these days, I’d like to do a football comic, maybe about my dad, who had an interesting (to say the least) time playing the game. I never played; I blew out my knees while training my freshmen year in high school. This was okay with me since I didn’t have much athletic ability other than being able to take a hit, and obviously my heart was in comics. I do love to watch, though, preferably from the couch, with a nice amber beer.
