This is my must haves for every season
#1 NFL Sunday Ticket-All the games
#2 Dedicated Sports Room
#3 48 inch plasma screen
#4 Surround sound with massive Bass
#5 Sign up for at least 2 fantasy football teams
#6 Sign up to beat boomer (Football Picks)
#7 Already read Athlon, Street and Smith and every other preseason insight pick.
#8 Watch as much preseason as possible. Even the ones that are taped delayed on NFL Network. Avoid the scores and you will not know the outcome. I do not care if it is preseason. It is football.
#9 Watch NFL network like my life depended on it
#10-Starting listening to Ben Maller on Fox Sports overnights. Yeah, he is on late as hell but the guy is the most underrated NFL genius on the planet!
#11-Start licking my chops and getting excited when my NFL shows return.
#12-Avoid all trash talking. You never know?
#13 Plan out every excuse for the next 26 weeks why I am seem to never be available for ANYTHING on a Sunday.
#14 I find ways T0 reduce my work day on Monday so that I am home before Monday Night Countdown.
#15 Dig out every NFL shirt, hat, sweater. You name it is coming out baby.
#16 Renew my subscription to USA Today. What beats a Monday edition of the Sports action once the regular season starts. It has it all! Stats, commentary, everything. Nothing is better.
#17 Turn Sports Talk Radio back on in general
#18 Actually enjoy watching Sports Center
#19 Talk to anyone who wants to talk football. I do not even care if they are playing pee wee. Let's chat.
#20-Starting counting the days to first preseason game. 1st Thursday regular season game, I become worse than a 5 years old with a Xmas countdown dry erase board. The first regular Sunday. I speak to no one and I am alone in my own world.
Yes preparing for the football season for me is like having my birthday from August 5th until Feb 10th. Yes, I even include the Pro Bowl. Why? Because it is football baby!
I am ready. I am pumped up! I am feeling hella psyched up!
Bring it on!

HDTV is a must for gameday, a nice surround sound system can really bring the game to life if you also. Definitely go to HDTV, if you can afford to. Do Beer curls, get your Team Chair out. Check the waiver wires, the depth charts, make sure you get the NFL network or atleast chk out NFL.com 3 times a week. Get a nerf football for inside, and a real one for outside. Toss it around a couple of times a week. Organize a 2 hand touch game with the guys. Load up on carbs...okay , BEER. Clean the Bar B Q pit. Use it this wkd. GO and get the Fantasy league mag, the ESPN and SI preseason previews and draft guides, etc. Study them all. Keep 1 in the john, 1 in the bed and one in the living room. Tune in to all of the sports talk radio you can especially at night. The callers are better at night and the hosts cover anything you want them to. In the daytime they pretty much stick to the script. Did I mention load up on the Beer. Oh yeah, if you live near any pro stadium go by check out a live practice, an autograph signing and preseason fanfest. Hell man, I'm pretty pumped now! get the sports package that includes the NFL network, do lots of extra twelve ounce curls, and some thumb exercises for the remote.
