Spent most of Sunday watching NFL games, since it is beginning to look a lot like there will be no NBA season anytime soon. NFL hasn’t really been my sport in the past, but lately (the last couple of seasons) I’ve been getting more interested in the sport.
First game I watched was between the Raiders and the Bills. I first checked out the previews online then went on twitter to see what fans from both sides had to say about the game. From what I read, Raider fans were saying they had a strong running game and would take it to the Bills; the Bills fans on the other hand were saying the complete opposite. I’m from LA so even though I haven’t followed the Raiders in the past; I rooted for them. The game was a dandy; the Raiders took the 1st half by storm and ran away with a 21-3 halftime lead and I was like yo.. “Raider Nation” all day 
.. But the 3rd quarter was a totally different story; the Bills came roaring back scoring 21 points in a row to take the lead. Then it was a seesaw battle that ultimately ended with a Buffalo victory in the final seconds. This was a really fun game to watch; although I wanted the Raiders to win. At least I didn’t have any money on the game.
The second game I watched was between the San Diego Chargers vs New England Patriots. Again being from LA; I went for the Chargers but Brady wasn’t having any of that. New England ran away with this game. Come to think of it, even if I wasn’t from LA; I would still have rooted for the Chargers since I always tend to root for the underdog.
The 3rd and final game I watched was Sunday Night Football between the Philadelphia Eagles vs Atlanta Falcons. This one had a lot of interest from around the country because of the whole Michael Vick scenario. I was rooting for the Eagles since I’ve always been a Michael Vick fan, he’s made tremendous strides last season to get back to where he is not and I admire that about him. I didn’t really admire what he did off the field but I respected his game and I am fan. BUT long story short Eagles lost and the Falcons won the game by 4; 35-31. To make things worse Vick left the game in the 3rd quarter after getting a neck injury (hit by his teammate) and spitting up blood (hopefully nothing too serious).
So yeah I spent most of the day watching NFL and had a ton of fun even though went 0 for 3.
After the last game I went online and signed up for the fantasy football league on NFL.com to see what all the fuss is about. Our draft day is Tues @ 5:30 PM. Honestly I have no clue how to play Fantasy football but I’m just gonna give it a shot to see how it is. If anything hopefully it will be something to keep me interested in the NFL this season.
