Good morning all, are you excited for today? It is a marathon not a sprint but how are you getting ready? What are you doing today? Going to a party? Participating in our open thread? Day drinking?

I have been up awhile now and have made my bets for the day;

Over the 1:44 on the anthem, Aretha going to go long to unite the nation and keep peeps mind off Kaep’s kneeling.

More than 3.5 field goals, boys can kick

over 44.5 yards longest field goal, easy.

Under 56.5, run, run, run. I am nervous about this one but then I can cheer for low scoring.

James White to have 2 touchdowns. 9-1, too good not to take a 20 dollar flyer on.

As for libations, I started with Baileys and coffee and will move on to breakfast wine, then beer, then probably bourbon and red wine. I do not work tomorrow which is of much importance.

Before the game we have Foxy Footy v Man U, then Man City v Arsenal. Those are quite good matchups to kill time before the real drinking starts. After that there is 3 Ice Footbaw games because Bettman knows to get the hell out of the way of the Shield.

What will you be cooking, drinking, doing getting ready to hopefully see the meteor hit Megatron’s butthole?

To all of those who stay on the sidelines or lurk enter your information today as the powers that be will be approving them this morning. Except you pesky Russians.
