The Sewing Mom

Our regularly scheduled Friday night high school football game has been moved up to tonight, Thursday, so that it can be televised nationally on ESPN2! We are very excited about this and are hoping that they will also air the half time show which includes the Allen Eagle Escadrille (marching band), of which my daughter is a part.

So, if you’re looking for something to watch tonight on tv, tune in to ESPN2 to watch the #1 nationally ranked Allen Eagles take on Plano East. And stay tuned to see the the band, it is the largest marching band, high school or college, in the United States!

It’s the end of August and we’re all ready over 2 weeks in to the pre-season of professional football, hard to believe! My husband is completely addicted to football and actually plans his weekend around watching his team play. We even pay extra for the NFL package on our satellite t.v. service.

Now, we’ve both participated in football pools over the years, but we’ve never really gotten into fantasy football. That could all change very soon. WaiverWire is a great new website devoted to fantasy football. It has software dedicated to the draft, and uses the same type of analytical tools that are used in the financial markets. The site provides access to over 100 Local NFL team news feeds , football news, and even fantasy football rankings. To bring other fantasy football players together, WaiverWire includes a forum for discussion.

This is exactly the kind of site that could possibly entice my husband into the world of fantasy football. Truthfully, I think it could be a lot of fun, after all, every time we watch a game together we end up talking about how the team could be so much better if they had this player or that player, this coach or that coach. Why not put our vision into the fantasy football world?
