temporary fix known as the NFL Draft was over in late April. That
means real football fans are going through some major withdrawal.
Sure there is the Arena Football League and even the NFL Europe, but
that is only slightly more exciting than kissing your grandmother.
We know that there are a number of you who are down in the dumps
right now, and can't afford to wait until September for football
season to start. To help you get through these trying times, we have
put together a survival guide of activities to keep you busy this
summer.
1) Book a trip to Vegas now. I recently booked a trip with my buddy
for the first weekend of the NFL season. The beauty of that is even
though it is not until September, I can talk about it with my friend
every day. We go over which restaurants and gentlemen's clubs
we'll go to, or guess what celebrities will be at the Hard Rock
pool.
2) Take the kids to the beach. While the kids are making sandcastles
and splashing in the water, there is nothing wrong with you checking
out the local talent. Remember that it is not cheating if you are
just looking. If things start to get out of hand, most beaches come
equipped with cold showers.
3) Order the NFL Sunday Ticket from Direct TV. The early bird special
is just $199 for the entire season. While the price isn't cheap,
it is still mandatory for the diehard fan. I don't care if you
have to take it out of the rainy day fund, the vacation fund, or even
the kid's college fund. Watching ten NFL games simultaneously is
the most fun a 35 year-old male can have with his clothes on.
4) Treat yourself to a steak dinner. Everyone knows that food is a
substitute for sex. Most people however, do not know that it is also
a good substitute for football. Don't think this has to be a $50
sirloin from Mortens. Go to your local Sizzlers or Bonanza and get
the $6.99 special if you have to. Just get that meat into your
bloodstream, and the whole world starts to look a lot better!
