Football season began yesterday. I know this because, in spite of having just arrived off a 12 hour flight from Amsterdam and having been up since the equivalent of midnight the night before, I found myself at Jillian's watching the Titans and Steelers duke it out in the season opener.
Eric and I still don't have a TV, and we still don't want one 90% of the time. So when we need to watch live TV as is usually the case with sports, we go to this bar a few blocks away which is fine for the Sunday morning games but which in the evenings gets downright sketchy. If SF police ever wanted to nab the entire SF-based Russian mafia all they need to do is go on a night when the Red Wings are playing.
Another good thing about watching football in bars is that you have an immediate bond with anyone near you also cheering for your team. Not that there aren't plenty of Tennesseans living in California*, but it was fun to discover last night that the Titans fans at the table next to us went to Eric's high school and one of them graduated the same year as his sister.
And like that, the football season begins! Go Bears!
