Dreary Saturday

Cold, overcast, and rainy. A perfect day for staying inside, knitting and watching football. I don't know what football we are going to watch. All of our teams have already played this week. LSU and Texas both lost yesterday, but Dallas and Indianapolis both won Thursday. Oh, well, I'm sure we will find something.

Speaking of watching games, Dallas and Green Bay play this Thursday in what is expected to be the biggest game in the NFC. Both teams are 10-1, and while they are in different divisions, this game will do a lot to decide home field advantage in the playoffs. Some people are calling it Superbowl 42 3/4.

But it's more than just a game. Tony Romo grew up in Wisconsin, watching the Packers play. He decided to become a quarterback when he was 12 years old after watching Brett Favre. Favre's influence is strong in Tony Romo's style of quarterbacking. He makes Favre-like plays, takes Favre-like risks, and yes even makes Favre-like mistakes. Now, for the first time--and maybe the last in regular season play if Brett Favre retires after this season--Tony Romo will play against his boyhood hero. And none of the stations are carrying it! Ack! How can they do this to us!

One more question: how did Green Bay get through the entire season without having to play either Indianapolis OR New England? 'S true. Not even in pre-season did they face either of those teams. Dallas did. Both of them. Indy in pre-season, and NE in regular season. Who makes up these schedules anyway?

Last night, as I was heading to bed, I walked through the living room, and this is the sight that met my eyes:

Cody and Rylea asleep on the love seat.

Katie asleep in my recliner. They looked so comfortable that I just couldn't make them move.
