football

it is all football all the time here at the house. Old football games or vintage if you prefer are the new standard they have replaced saturday morning cartoons around the 'ol homestead. Saturday is full of college football and sundays pro games, luckily C does not know of monday night football yet. D is letting it all unfold which I find amusing. In the past he never watched sports on tv. D played the major 3 when he was younger and felt no need to watch them but as C has shown overwhelming interest the 2 boys well & oscar will spend most of sunday afternoon in front of some ball game or another and I must admit to watching some myself but only the new games not the random old ones on ESPN.
C's loyalties are amusing the Colts because of course Peyton Manning was a Vol and naturally the NY Giants as Peyton's younger brother is the quarterback but more importantly that is Grandpa's favorite team. I see my father in C very clearly sometimes. A few weeks ago C was almost in tears because the Colts lost to the Patriots in a very close game. Growing up on sundays when the Giants were playing dad would slip away from dinner intermittently to check on the score of the game. If the Giants lost you knew to stay away from dad as he would be cranky although we never saw tears!
