He sure understands the minds of football fans, doesn't he! So by 10:30, Sean was out the door on his way to Tony's place across town.
Several of Tony's friends responded to his invitation and we're coming. He was itching to watch the pre-game shows building up to the 1pm games. It was a quick two days to Sunday, but they couldn't have been fast enough for Sean. He would go to Tony's on Sunday and enjoy the games there. And with other people there to share the experience, it may even deflect some of the usual attention Tony would show him. Maybe Tony's place is the place to be on Sunday. He was playing against Tony week one, and now this e-mail. The flat-screen is big enough to make us feel like we're in the stadiums, the food will be tasty, and there will be plenty of adult beverages to force you to call in sick from work on Monday. Let's celebrate the return of the great game by watching it all day and night this Sunday : ) Come one, come all and satiate your football hunger. If you're ready and willing, I'm hosting at my place in honor of the NFL season. Sean went to fantasy football league website first, curious to find out who his first week opponent would be. Sean picked up his tablet to check his e-mail and take a quick look at his fantasy football team-now that it was on his mind. Not his preferred option, but it would do. Maybe he'd order just order a pizza and enjoy the games by himself on Sunday. Not the best way to experience the opening weekend of the NFL season, Sean thought. With just the two of them watching football all day, Sean was worried he would be the target of Tony's sly, yet persistent flirtations. But Tony long had an admiring eye for Sean and although respectful in his advances, he wasn't shy about letting Sean know his interest. Tony would certainly burn an entire Sunday watching the games. Both of them were in a fantasy football league together and he was sure Tony played in a flag football league, too. Tony was as big a football fanatic as he was. One name came to Sean's mind, but the name made him hesitate-Tony Ryan. Only problem is, all of the like-minded friends Sean could think of seem to be out of town this weekend. Sean Adams was content to watch to watch the games at home, but the best times were had in the company of like-minded football junkies like himself.
Finally! It felt like it took forever to come around. The thought made Sean smile because this weekend was the start of the NFL season. Sunday meant football all day and night, and that was a slice of heaven. The weekend was approaching fast, and Sean couldn't wait for Sunday.
