Adequately Prepared for Football

I hope I can stay awake enough to enjoy the Steelers' season opener tonight against the Dolphins. I somehow picked up a sore throat over the weekend and have been dragging all day. After this, maybe off to find some tea in the office...

I got my picks in for the office pool: Steelers, as always; Denver, New England, Green Bay, Arizona, Indianapolis, Washington, Oakland; the rest I can't remember or don't care about. As far as fantasy goes, I swear half my team is injured. I probably won't know until Monday afternoon if Clinton Portis is starting, and my other running back, Jamal Lewis, is also "questionable". I'll probably end up putting Tatum Bell in for Portis unless something changes by Sunday morning.

Generally not the best way to make a first impression...
Are you expecting to get home that late?

The rehearsal is from 7-10, and it's across town from where I live, so it's possible I'll get home in time to see the end of the game. But I'm not counting on it. I am recording the game just in case I feel like watching the highlights. I get score updates on my phone so I'll know who wins by the time I watch it.
