One Week

It's Monday. Which can only mean one thing. There are just seven days left before the Washington Redskins take on the Minnesota Vikings on Monday Night Football. Don't let my constant talk of hockey fool you, I'm extremely excited about the whole thing. This will be my first real Redskins game since that fateful day when I turned 21 years of age.

Now the problem becomes: Where to watch? I honestly have no idea where I should go to watch this game. Obviously, I can't just stay at home, but going to the wrong bar could turn out to be even worse than being alone. So I open it up to you, loyal reader(s). Any suggestions?

Why I've Decided I Like the Titans - Historical Perspective

I was going to spend an inordinate amount of time (a la Bill Simmons and the Premier League) to finding a new NFL team to replace my tepid affair with the Patriots. Then I started doing a little research and decided (with the help of a good, NFL-loving friend) that the Tennessee Titans are the team for me.

First off, the stadium is located a mere 82 miles from my birthplace, which is close enough in that part of the world to be considered a hometown team. If I were, you know, still in KY. And the team had been in Nash Vegas and not Houston when I was a small-fry. I'm old. Then there's the matter of the Houston Oilers. I loved Warren Moon when I was a little girl, bereft of my own NFL team. And nothing tops the hideosity of the Houston Oilers, #1 Song.

And I would be terribly remiss if I didn't mention that the flashy Titans logo at the top of this post is from the light show at an Oak Ridge Boys' concert to celebrate the opening of Adelphia Stadium - the home of the Titans.

The mind boggles.

Finally, as I research more, I'm sure that I'll find a legitimate, football-based reason to cheer for these Titans. In the interim, if you can give me any substantive information on the Titans, nee Oilers, I'd be forever grateful. I don't want to seem like a dumb broad at the bar when all the cool kids are talking about football.
