The first football game I ever attended as a kid was a Jets game. I must've been about 7 or 8 I'd guess. I was (and still am) a Steelers fan and my dad's always been a Giants fan, so I have absolutely no clue why we were going to a Jets game. I should ask him now, not that he'd remember. But my guess is he somehow got free tickets.
Anyways, all I remember are 2 things from that game so many years ago. It was insanely cold. Like illegally cold. The kind where you're not just shivering, but your skin actually hurts. I remember having a green Jets wool hat on, a scarf, gloves and my winter coat zipped up to my chin. I think hot chocolate was involved somewhere in there too.
The other thing I remember? The crowd. This was back when the Jets were an awful team. Yeah, I should be more specific, right? Heh. Well the crowd loved to chant and boo, and my virgin-like ears were completely rattled when I heard all the people around me start chanting, "Bullsh--!" (Yes, I'm censoring it since this is a family friendly blog after all...) I don't remember if it was a bad call by the officials or a bad play by the Jets. I just remember hearing the crowd cursing up a storm and not knowing what to think. Except that it was kinda cool.
Why am I bringing up these Jets memories? Simple. If you're a football fan, or even a causal news listener, you've had to have heard that former Green Bay Packers QB Brett Favre (who retired last year) is now un-retired and a NY Jet. So it should be a real interesting NFL season this year.

Go Jets!! I sure have missed this page.
As you know, I'm not the slightest bit interested in football. But I do love coupons. And I especially love your blog!
@Kat - Hey, stranger! Great to hear from you again. Stop missing this page then and keep coming back. I promise to keep writing.
