Yesterday was a day that was full of peeveness and unfulfillness. I thought it would be gone today, but nope, not yet.
Yesterday late morning we were trying to figure out if we would run errands before or after Anna’s nap time. I did what every football addicted person would do and looked at the guide to see if the Packers had the early game (noon cst), late game (3:15 cst) or evening game (7:30 cst). That’s when sadness started. They weren’t listed. Now I wasn’t sure if it was a Bye Week or the jerky tv people not airing the game because Brett Favre isn’t there anymore. I decided I’d be okay watching the Bears. Wait, but I didn’t recall seeing their names on the guide either. I turned to Anna and said, “They would not have been that stupid to schedule byes for the Packers and the Bears for the same week would they?” Anna just looked back at me blankly. Off to the computer.
That is when I reached a level of peeveness. I looked at the Packers’ schedule. Oct 26 – Open Date. I looked at the Bears’ schedule. There wasn’t even an Oct 26 listed. I learned later in the evening from Dawn that even the Minnesota Vikings weren’t playing!! That’s right. Three of the four teams in the NFC North weren’t playing during Week 8. I would like to know who in the NFL Schedule group thought this was a good idea. Oh, okay expose us to other divisions. Nope. Slept through the game we turned on (Jets vs Cheifs) so that plan didn’t work oh smarty pants of scheduling.
So, why does this problem spill into Monday? Well because I have no interest in Sportscenter today because the highlights that I’d most like to watch aren’t there to be watched. In fact the only part of Sportscenter I’ve watched was a little bit about the World Series.
Now to his credit, Rob did inform me that the Packers and Bears have the last Monday Night Football game of the season. While appreciated, this info did not take care of my need for one of them playing yesterday. This also means I’ll have slight sadness on Sunday, December 21 but happiness the next night. Dawn, are you ready for the little sadness of Dec 21?

I will just state again for the record...that was so not cool. Who does that? I'm past it now though  I suppose I will be able to deal with a little sadness on Dec 21 if it means I get to watch the Bears in Monday night football on the 22nd. Oh the pain we go through for being dedicated football fans... |
