are you ready for some football?

Tonight is Monday Night Football!! It's the first MNF of the '09/10 season and our beloved Buffalo Bills are taking on the not-so-favorite-around-our-house New England Patriots in New England. Lew actually bet against the Bills in his football pool - with an attitude like that, we can blame him if the Bills lose tonight.


No matter what, we'll be watching and eating the traditional MNF meal: patty melts and french fries. Did you think I was going to say chicken wings?

Here are 2 pictures to put up before the game starts. Go BILLS!!
Hey, I may not have made their Halloween costumes, but I did decorate their football season tee shirts!

**Tuesday morning update**
Well, they lost. 24/25. They led until the last 50 seconds of the entire game. Once again, they managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. One Bills' fumble in the last minutes set the Pats up to score two touchdowns within 76 seconds. We did get lots of nice footage throughout the rest of the game of Pats players and fans sporting sad "boo-hoo-woe-is-us-how-can-we-be-down-to-the-Buffalo-Bills-when-we-are-the-almighty-Patriots" faces. The glass half full part is that the Bills looked better than we anticipated. Maybe this season won't be so bad! Doesn't really matter, if you ever lived in Buffalo you know how you get sucked into the teams. Fans for life.

Last night, after the first Bills touchdown, Lew yelled, "touchdown!" and from across the room, Carl didn't skip a beat... he chimed in loudly with "Go Bills!" The, this morning, when we told Gretchen the Bills lost (the kids went to bed right before halftime, so we were winning... of course, we were winning until the final 50 seconds...don't get me going again) she gasped, "What? The Bills lost? Why?" They were born close enough to Western NY, I guess! Ah, mini fans!!! And now, we live in hurricane area... pretty foul weather at times. Seems fitting since we are the farthest things from fair weather fans for our teams!
