I am ready for some football

I am officially ready for the '08 NFL season to begin, and it has to do with an episode of "That '70s Show" I saw last night.

Barry Williams and Chris Knight, who played brothers in a famous '70s sitcom, appeared as characters on "That '70s Show" who were domestic partners and new acquaintances of the Foremans, the show's central family (for those who don't know much about the series).

Anyway, patriarch Red Foreman is a very conservative guy. After the domestic partners enter his Wisconsin living room and sit down on a couch to watch a game between the Packers and the Vikings, Red kicks the other men out of his house. Not for their open homosexuality, but for their openness about being Minnesota-born Vikings fans. I always enjoyed that series as a whole, but that was a classic moment that I hadn't before seen.

That's definitely a good reason to kick people out of the house. Except reverse that. Kick the Packers fans out.

You better plan on seeing some football in front of the big screen in my basement.
