Football

Today I am reminded of how much I love football.
When the sweet summer air is replaced by a strict chilly breeze; the air is crisp and the rain becomes frigid.  It’s in this little sweet spot that football starts.  Looking back, it seems like the season just began and now we are in the final games that will decide who the champion is.
Tension is in the air today as the Steeler Fan in my house anticipates what could be another Superbowl appearance.  Today the final two teams will be decided.  No words need to be spoken, because I know how he feels.  I know the nervous excitement that’s flowing through his body.  It’s electric.
Unfortunately, my team is not in it this year...maybe next year.  Every new season brings a clean slate with fresh possibilities.  I don’t know what it is that is so addicting.  Maybe its the power of the game, the competition, or the camaraderie of fans.  Whatever it is, it’s woven deep into the fabric that I’m made of.  
Like I said...I love football.
