Pigskin Withdrawals

Now that the football season is over, I have the usual withdrawal syndrome. This is the first weekend in a long time without the usual football fix.

I’m not too crazy about NHL, NBA or March Madness, so those aren’t an outlet. Baseball doesn’t interest either of us very much until September or October, and by then the gridirons are active again. So what do I do in the meantime?

Well, for one thing, I got a Reyn Spooner official 2008 Pro Bowl NFC Hawaiian Shirt. It’s just like the coaches and teams wore in Hawaii last weekend. That helps.

And, just in case that isn’t enough, we have the following excellent list of football-themed DVDs queued up in the DVD player to watch on the new big-screen HDTV. That should help more. Sort of like football methadone.

  • Friday Night Lights – Billy Bob Thornton
  • Game Plan – Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson
  • Gridiron Gang – Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson
  • Invincible – Mark Wahlberg
  • The Longest Yard – both old and new – Adam Sandler and Burt Reynolds
  • Radio – Cuba Gooding Jr.
  • Remember the Titans – Denzel Washington
  • The Replacements – Orlando Jones, Gene Hackman, Keanu Reeves
  • Rudy – Sean Astin
