I woke up this morning, earlier than on a normal Sunday. My first thought was that it was game day. It was then I realized that NFL Playoff Sundays in New England are comparable to Christmas. On Christmas, you sit down with your family, eat a well thought out and hearty dinner, laugh, tell stories, open gifts, and follow traditions. Days like today, when the New England Patriots are facing their division rival in the playoffs, we, as New England sports nuts, act in a similar way. We get together with friends, eat extremely unhealthy but irresistible food, yell, shout, swear, and hope Tom and his sidekicks open a good old fashioned can of whoop - ass. Our whole day has been spent in preparation; where are we going to watch it? What are we going to eat? What kind of beer do we want to drink? Should I wear my Tedy jersey? Or is it time I retire it to a safe and final resting place ? Even the girl at the WalMart check out was talking us up about the game, and we all know how talkative they can be. And as you can see below, even our girls are pumped up for some rough and tumble. So put on your jerseys folks and let’s get ready for somNew England football!
