Ah yes, the magic of football has returned, with the season opener on SNFTNFNBC (I feel like I just mapped the genome with that acronym… or just entered in the Contra code). After seven long months of dealing in a world without football, now we get five months of unadulterated joy and happiness, or I guess depression if you are a Cleveland Browns fan. Which wouldn’t be much different than any other day in Cleveland I suppose.

1 – PAPRIKA IS FOR MEN
2 – YOU BOOZE, YOU LOSE

By the Numbers
5 – Consecutive losses by the Packers to the 49ers and Seahawks since the 2012 season.
4,624 – The yards Marshawn Lynch has rushed for since 2010.
4,624 – The amount of Skittles I’ve probably eaten in my lifetime.
0 – The amount of healthy hips in Percy Harvin… potentially.
85 – Career high in receptions for Jordy Nelson in 2013.

Drinking Game
Note: I’ll be doing Kona Brewing Company’s Longboard Lager for the beer portion, and Jameson for the shots portion.
Take one sip of beer if…
The word “elite” is used.
Pete Carroll actually doesn’t look douchy.
Mike McCarthy calls a totally useless run play.
Someone says “Super Bowl hangover”.
You see the Space Needle.
Every time Russell Wilson bullsh*ts his way out of a sack.
Take one shot of liquor if…
Someone throws a fish at someone else.
Cris Collinsworth refers to any player as “Just an impressive young man”.
Bob Costas is wearing sweater vest.
