Welcome back Football!!

It's on necessary to do a football themed lunch with NFL season back officially as of yesterday!  For those who know my family, they know very well we are die hard Philadelphia Eagles fans. Win or lose. Without Superbowl rings. Yes, I've heard it all. I know what my team is, and I'm realistic about what I say in regards to our performance as a team. But I can proudly say because of our past unfortuneate years, we (only speaking for my family and I ) are probably some of the most loyal fans. 

Every team has bangwagon riders. These are by far the worst fans ever. They are a disgrace for the rest of us who actually ride or die by our team regardless of what dumb decision was made by the front office during off season or even during the season. If you're a fan, be simply that... A fan. Don't be a switch hitter just because one year the team you were rooting for wasn't performing to your standards. I see these fans as quitters. As people who can't handle or don't know how to handle struggle. I see them as people with little hope, little faith, no loyalty, and lack of resilience.  Regardless of what team you like, just make sure you are a fan worth winning for. 

Now, moving on to last night's opening season game with Patriots vs Steelers, there was a lot to take away from that game. First thing... Brady and the Patriots are pissed and they are taking it out on everyone. That kind of chip on their shoulder is dangerous for the other teams that will be facing them. Gronk and Brandy looked unstoppable. That being said, second thing to take away is how horrible the Steelers' secondary was without veteran pro bowler Troy Polamalu. But other factors that contribute is lack of meshing. The secondary still needs to learn how to work together. That will come with time. Third thing to take away is that if you have the Steelers' kicker on your team, might be time to grab a new one off the wire.  And last thing to take away with that was the production of DeAngelo Williams. I drafted Le'Veon Bell. The second I found out that Williams was going to replace Bell during his suspensions, I picked him up quick. I'm so glad I did because he produced 15 points for me when I didn't expect that much at all. 

I can't wait til Sunday, but even more for Monday night. It's time for friendships ending due to rivalaries. Friendship is temporarily over for some people lol. That being said, today I wanted to make a football themed lunch for my girls. 

Until next time, have a safe Friday!
