It is finally here. The day we have waited for so impatiently. It is football day. All is right with the world. Goose Island IPA, Gigio’s Pizza, a mix of pregame shows, pay homage to the Lombardi and Halas, Red Zone, and lots of couch butt groove time.
There is still time to join our Razzball Pay The Fan League. We have 26 teams and 4 more will push the pot up to $175, plus the chance at $500 week and $7,500 overall.
