Welcome Back Football!!

Finally the football season has arrived with more anticipation than ever before. With a lockout nearly eliminating  some if not all of the NFL season, its back to tailgating, face painting,  large consumptions of Dominos pizza and Coke, and hours of nonstop football action. The season started off on Thursday with the defending Super Bowl Champion Green Bay Packers defeating the 2010 Super Bowl Champion Saints 42-35.

In other football news my hometown Patriots just defeated the Dolphins 38-24 behind a record setting performance by Tom Brady throwing for a Monday Night Football record 517 yards and 4 touchdowns. It is also the 5th most passing yards in any NFL game in history.

And much to the disdain of everyone in my dorm room the Pittsburgh Steelers got badly beaten by the Conference rivals Baltimore Ravens 35-7 with the Ravens causing 7 Steeler turnovers.
