Bye Week Blues

by bcfunk on Oct 25, 2008 10:30 AM MDT

So, I've got to ask, how many of you are doomed to honey-do's, other commitments, etc during our bye week. Historically, my wife targets this date as "her" day. This give and take arrangement has kept my marriage going strong (translation: wife remains happy, bcfunk lives to fight another day!). So tomorrow, it's off to the outlets (what's up with outlet shopping and women?), birthday parties, and general non-football related activities. At least I can listen to the radio. So, what steals away your time during our bye week?

I voted other because I do all of those things....depends on the year.

This year it looks like I’ll be watching football, “I’m a man! I’m 30!” But you never know, my wife might cajole my into doing something I don’t really wanna do. lol

Don't be bored! Live life for the rest of us who are imprisoned, err married!

I’m joking btw, but I wanted an excuse to post a pic from a classic tv show!

I wish Woody Paige was our coach!

I'm the luckiest guy in the world!!

Wife loves football almost as much as I do… we’ll be spending the day on the couch watching roughly the full 7 hours of football. Too bad, no Broncos to jeer, I mean, cheer on. No Bears for her either, but we are both in a pickem league so at that’ll keep things interesting.

Speaking of which, who ya got as upsets this week, Zappa / where’s your’ post?! I love your weekly post… ;)

I’ve got Miami, Dallas (ugh, why do I keep picking them), and Indy… though, I’m not confident in any of them! I’m also nervous about having Baltimore as my survivor… =/

What do I pick?

Always enough time for “me” time and “family” time. I’ll watch one to two games during the bye week, but I’ll be making time for the family too. I do it all baby! I’m a keeper! (Uhm, don’t tell my wife I said that when you meet her at the first annual MHR CON. She’ll say I don’t do a thing around the house. lol)

I try to watch college football because outside of the Broncos, I have no interest in any other teams

Sad but true, once the Bronco season is over, I am over too, I won’t watch the playoffs if we aren’t playing and may watch the Super Bowl, but I really could care less unless we are in it. So if the Broncos aren’t on, I turn to the college game, much more interesting and fun, and it’s fun to track players in the college ranks before they turn pro.
