    I don't have food suggestions but I do like the exercise suggestions that were given earlier! Here's another workout I found that we could do during commercials.
    With all the commercial breaks in today’s NFL games you could get in a pretty good workout. The average NFL or college game now has about 45 to 50 minutes of commercials per game. The average commercial spot is 30sec long so there are anywhere from 90-100 commercials per game. Now here are the average calorie expenditures for 30 sec durations of various exercises you can do at home during each commercial.

    30 sec push-ups =5 cal
    30 sec sit-ups/crunches=4 cal
    30 sec Jumping jacks=7 cal
    30 sec body weight squats=4 cal
    30 sec curls with dumbbells=5 cal
    30 sec shoulder press with dumbbells=5 cal
    30 sec body weight lunges=5 cal
    30 dips off chair=5 cal

    On average that is about 5 calories per 30 sec commercial. If you were to pick a different exercise per commercial that would come out to 450-500 calories burned per game. So next Saturday or Sunday, turn your football watching into your workout as well.
    you ROCK...and so does your ticker btw lol :drinker:

    You're hoping............................

    Washington has been cursed the last few years with Snyder at the controls. I think RG3 will be good though.

    YES!!!
    although i hate being out of my beloved NFC region now, I do love the fact that Raiders tickets are relatively inexpensive. Last season I got to go to a few Raiders home games

    I AM SO READY!

    But, yeah.... I used to eat pizza every Sunday, during the Chicago Bears games. Don't know what I'll substitue for it this season. Maybe Subway? Nothing else sounds as fun/appropriate as pizza on football Sundays. :*(

    maybe make your own on pita bread?

    i need to come up with a plan as well because i usually watch in a bar (I'm an Eagles fan and havent lived in the Philly area for years) and bar food tends to not be so good. I might just have to figure out a way to fit Sunday's (and Monday..and Thursday :laugh:) high calorie days into my weekly calorie goals

    sorry but it does make you a traitor. there are plenty of things we can change...hair, job, political affiliation but the teams we cheer for should be in your DNA and should never be changed.

    anyone who changes teams or roots for two teams was never really a fan in the first place.

    amen. :)

    No.

    I want to enjoy my summer.

    I will be ready for football after the World Series, and I'll get into it during the NFL postseason.
