Uh-oh. Once again, experts are eyeing the gridiron for signs of related domestic dysfunction. It’s not about violence on Super Bowl Sunday this time. No. It’s “football addiction”

Tom Brady to fans: Start drinking early.

The PC mommies are going crazy over that quote.

For the price of 1 beer inside the stadium, you could buy a 12 pack and drink it in the parking lot.

Just advising the fans how to save their hard earned dollars. LOL!

Not only that Football Fan, the FLOTUS doesn't approve of all those unhealthy snacks and drinks you're consuming.

She's pretty sure that some guidelines need to be established.

And a bureaucracy established to draft and enforce them.

Hey! It's a jobs bill and good for the economy!

Look for mass defections of airport HSA gropers. Free feels plus the added benefit of an unlimited supply of free beer seized from fans trying to smuggle it in.

...“football addiction,” identified by one Josh Klapow, a clinical psychologist at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.

The one thing I will say for this whiny academic is that, all things considered, he's certainly well-placed to observe the phenomenon about which he whines.

Go Tide!

Tough to smuggle beer in. The real boozers put a pint of whiskey in the cowboy boot.

With the Chargers playing New England this Sunday, I hope even the Pats players start drinking early. Kinda/sorta level the playing field a little!

In Massachusetts or New York a cowboy boot would stick out like a sore thumb :).

In our house, we have a sign that reads “We temporarily interrupt this marriage to bring you football season.” Hubby will occassionally watch with me, but I’m the football fanatic in our house.
