The Football Fan’s Diet

PITTSBURGH – I was reading James Walker’s AFC North Blog when I came across an interesting post about Cleveland QB Brady Quinn putting his home up for sale. Essentially, the blog raises the question about what it really means for Quinn’s future in Cleveland. After all, he put his house up for sale? He surely isn’t going to live in a van down the by the mistake.

In a similar note, if I put my “fat pants” up for sale, what does that mean for the future of my Inner Fat Slob? Let’s not kids ourselves here my football friend. If you are like me and your weight seems to fluctuate like the Down Jones (only this market keeps going up) you know you have certain that comforting wardrobe with enough ass room which could fit the front seven of Detroit in there.

What does it mean if you get rid of such spacious Levis? Is the future of your fat slob in doubt? Conversely, what if you put your skinny clothes up for sale? What does that say about your health? Have you given up hope you will ever don the high school pantaloons again. Did I just use the word pantaloons?

Hey, I am not putting anything up for sale, because after last week, I am not sure I have seen the last of my “continental britches.” Did I just use the word britches? I am at the crossroads here my friend.
Buried in the back of the closet are the pants that I bet Nicole Ritchie would have trouble fitting into much as it would be impossible for me to get into her pants (now, now).

Over to the next time zone, there are my Ringling Brothers Circus Tent Denims, which fold so thick, I once mistakenly thought it was several pairs of trousers stacked neatly like some wonderful layered cake. Did I just use the word trousers? But, I digress.

Now as for Brady Quinn’s future? The words “future” and “Cleveland” form an oxymoron. As for my inner fat slob? I am going to have to get Ringling Brothers on the horn and see if I can make some extra money.

Preseason Week 2 Box Score

Last week was close, but I lost in the end. Curiously, I had this Saturday in the middle of getting my butt kicked health wise. I am not sure why, but it is cause for hope. It was a close loss and I am thankful it is still preseason. You know because the records don’t really count until regular season.
