Never thought I'd say it...

But football can be kind of cool when you are driving 10 hours through the middle of no where.

This past weekend we drove down to Arkansas to see a college friend get married. It's about a 13 hour trip one way by car. For some reason we thought this trip could be a fun adventure and a nice break from the cold weather. (unfortunately we escaped the -2 degree weather for only 35 degree weather down south...but we took it).

Anyways, on our drive back somewhere in the middle of Missouri we turned on the radio to listen to the Packer/Bears game. I've never listened to a game over the radio before but it was much more intense than watching it on TV. There were less commercials, the sports announcers tended to sound more excited, and the commentary seemed funnier (although it could be that we were listening to an Illinois radio station who's announcers were pretty upset the Bears were losing). I never thought I'd say it, but it was enjoyable.....

Or I was really, really, really board driving through 10 hours of nothingness.

Either way...go Packers!
