Get up sometime between 7-8, make coffee and have a cup and some strawberry pop tarts (no, i'm not 12). Turn on some pregame on NFLN until 10. At 10, i'd start cleaning the house, basically just straightening the living room but i'd scrub the kitchen and put dishes in the dish washer. The kitchen HAD to be spotless. Shower at 11 but i could not shave no matter how nappy my face looked. After the shower (and this was only during and after the '13 season) i would take the clothes that my late son had worn to the last game we attended together (steelers monday nigh)--warmups, bengals jersey and bengals hat--and fold them up and lay them on the unoccupied chair in the living room; i only did this until the end of the '15 season when i retired those clothes to his bedroom. At 12:45 i would fix my afternoon snack/lunch. Anything from Tostitos topped with skyline chili and cheese to walking tacos to a big batch of Texas style chili and hit the recliner. The remote and my phone had to be in a specific place, which i won't disclose due to national security (no it wasn't in my butt) and i had to be at a certain angle in the recliner--not too far back nor forward. The situation would dictate whether my toes were crossed or uncrossed and the only time any of this would change would be by "feel" depending on how the game was going. During the game i would only reply to txt from my buddy Matt or my son if he was at work and wanting update (this was during the '12 and '13 seasons) but never my boss BECAUSE HE WAS BAD LUCK!!!! Usually, at the end of tight games, i would get up and walk around during commercial breaks but other than that, my butt was glued to the chair unless i needed a drink or potty run.

And...that's about it.


P.S. All of this is 100% accurate and not fabricated or exaggerated. 

Dude.   Wow, sorry man. You and me share a boat.
