You wait that long to crack a beer? You'd really have it made if said g/f had a beer waiting for you when you woke up ;)

My wife understands and has embraced the Sunday routine...sometimes she's more into it than I am. Early breakfast, showered and dressed in Skins gear, and in front of the TV by 12 to watch Fox Pregame and then 1pm Skins game. I concede the 2nd and 3rd quarters of the 4pm game for dinner and family time, then we'll flip between the Sunday night game and Fox's lineup after putting the baby to bed.

I've opened one at 11 before...that's the earliest ever for me when I wasn't on vacation. On vacation, all bets are off. And my gf sleeps a lot later than I do, she will routinely get up at 2 or so on a Sunday

Anyway, we usually have a few people over and someone cooks dinner. I usually make Chili a few times a season. We had a fish fry. I made a chicken and rice casserole. My roommate once made baked potato soup and wings out of drumsticks...it was bad ass!

Enjoy these days, because one day you will have a wife and kids and days like that one exists. Not to say there isn't a lot of fun in having a family but sitting around for a whole day watching football isn't going to happen (assuming you are not a dead beat father/husband).

I watch the Skins then go out and play with my son for the remainder of the day, at this point I would not trade that for all the NFL tickets and HD tvs in the world.

The older my son gets the less I want to sit in front of the TV on a nice Sunday afternoon watching football. I still love the Skins but as I get older they are not such a pull on my life anymore. At some point he will enjoy watching football too and that is when it will be real fun to watch the Skins with my son rooting on.


I totally agree, once I have kids, I'll feel a lot less like sitting on the couch all day. Pretty much football season is the only day I can sit inside all day and do nothing now.

Hell, I would miss nearly 6 a year if I didn't go to sports bars. Stupid Ravens games, they won't show the Skins and Ravens at the same time in Baltimore. I guess they're afraid that if Baltimoreans saw real football they'd convert...

Oh yeah you live in B-more county and comcast won't show DC Fox. You need to move to Howard or Harford county I miss maybe one game a year. If the skins are playing a AFL team at 1pm on CBS and the Ravens are playing at the same time then I head to the bar. Last year it was week one with Miami but after that all the games I could see at home. This year I think I might be able to see them all at home.

My other resource up here is a full blown Redskins bar in Federal Hill. I was never there for a game, but it's still nice to go to a bar that doesn't have a bunch of purple shit on the walls.

I usually went to Damon's in Arundel MillsAnne Arundell County seems to have a good number of Redskins fans. I work in Glen Burnie (it's a little slice of heaven on earth!) and I see Skins hats/bumper stickers/etc all the time around here.

But my time in Baltimore is almost up so I won't have to deal with being completely surrounded by ravens fans too much longer. I'm moving to Columbia next month and I think I'll be able to get DC broadcasts.
