Lets Talk Pregame Festivities!
 

What is YOUR game plan for tommorrow? What time do you expect to open that first can of beer?

I took the day off a long time ago. So NO WORK, which is always a good thing. I also managed to take tommorrow off which was gonna be necessary anyway.

I have to mow the lawn in the morning, usually takes baout 5 hours from start to finish. A co-worker is picking me up around 2 and we are going over to his new house for the game. I'm guessing first beer around noonish. Last beer around midnight but I reserve the right to change that. The only bad part is he is a Giants fan. The good part is I don't have to drive!

Re: Lets Talk Pregame Festivities!
 

Work as usual for me, quick dinner when I get home and I'll probably try to hit the gym to work off some pre-game jitters. I'll probably watch the game by myself at home, a friend of mine (who is a Giants fan) is having a little get together at his house but I'm just not sure if I can stand watching the first game of the year amongst Giants fans. :)

Re: Lets Talk Pregame Festivities!
 

I'm going to leave an hour early, and I took off two hours the next morning so I'm not dragging at work... I'm watching at home.. where I can yell, scream and throw things if need be.

Re: Lets Talk Pregame Festivities!
 

I can't watch our games with fans of other teams. I don't know how anybody can. It totally ruins the experience, and just about any time I've watched with other fans, I've left pretty much hating their guts and not talking to them for a good couple months.

I don't play nice with fans of other teams.

As for my plans, work as usual, quick dinner, throw on the 26 jersey, and hunker down for some long awaited Redskins action!

Re: Lets Talk Pregame Festivities!
 

Business as usual for me. Softball after work, and the game on DVR when I get home. Low key affair, since it's a Thursday night and I have to get the baby to the sitter the next morning and off to work. First beer after softball is over (9ish)...

Re: Lets Talk Pregame Festivities!
 

I am sending my family to Red Lobster for dinner and they can follow it up with a movie if they like. Just get the F out of the house for 3-4 hours. Then I am going lock myself in the basement with my 52 inch flatscreen and my Corona. My phones will be unplugged and or turned off. I might have a friend who is a Bears fan over if he is good. If he does one thing to piss me off he is gone!

My Giants fan friend is actually pretty cool to watch games with, even when it's NY vs. the Skins. He's not one to get too crazy or talk shit and as a typical Giants fan he loves to rag on his own team. I do hear what you're saying though as my friend is an exception to the rule.

Yeah, my opinion is probably colored by the fact that I live in Philly. Many of my friends are Eagles fans, and the stereotypes you hear about Philly fans are all true. They can be absolutely insufferable.

Re: Lets Talk Pregame Festivities!
 

Well yesterday i get an email that I have a meeting on thurs. at 6:30 to discuss our golf outing on the 12th. I'm on the committy and this is our biggest fund raiser of the year and its very important with the event just over a week away. So I send and urgent email out saying this conflicts with the opening of the NFL season and the Skins game and please change the meeting. No luck. So I then offer to have the meeting at my house and I would provide wings and cold beer. Bingo. So now I'll have 7 guys comming over and I know 2 are skins fans and not sure if the others even follow football (gessing not by the time and date of meeting). Thats fine for me because all of my jobs for the outing are complete and all I have to do is grill the wings while watching the game. My garage has a large TV a very cold frig for beer and a grill not far from the TV. Lets go skins!!!!

Re: Lets Talk Pregame Festivities!
 

My Boys and I were gonna go Booze and eat, but they are acting kind of lame. I may just grill by myself, drink by myself, and watch it by myself on my 57 inch HDTV. That'd be better than trying to talk over people at a bar. Or I may trek to Fairfax and watch it with my Pops.

Re: Lets Talk Pregame Festivities!
 

all i'm gonna do is hope that the 53 strappin up are as hyped as anyone that posts here.

Re: Lets Talk Pregame Festivities!
 

I'm home with the wife and kids. May invite a friend over... Cook up some bratwurst (costco had 3pkgs for $9) and drink leftover corona from Jimmy Buffet concert...

Open 1st beer @ 4-5. Probably be done drinking by Q4. If we lose, I get lovin' and if we win I get a win. This is the only time in my life I don't look forward to having sex... But it really does make you feel a little better after a loss.

Re: Lets Talk Pregame Festivities!
 

Work til 3:30 get home, hang out with the kid with the nfl network pregame on in the background. First beer probably around 5ish and then its on. Kid goes to bed after 1st quarter. Skins 21 Giants 17. Hail!

Totally agree with you. Watched the first Dallas game with some Cowboys fans last year and swore I would never do that again. Then broke my rule by driving up to Charlotte for the preseason game. Never again!

I actually have a summons to serve on a Federal Grand Jury tomorrow morning. I guess that even if I get selected we should be out by 5pm and luckily I live near the Federal District Court (actually, does anyone have any experience with this process? What should I expect?). Other than that just watching the game at home with my wife. She is a big time Skins fan and often surprises me by making some pretty astute in-game comments/observations. Can't imagine being married to a woman who didn't enjoy watching football, that would be pretty horrible.

Re: Lets Talk Pregame Festivities!
 

Tommorrow is my mom's birthday. Since she is a huge part of the reason the Redskins are like a religion in my family I plan on heading to the 'rents' to watch the game with them. I'll stop by my place on the way home to get some stuff, then I'll stop and get some beer and maybe some grub, then I'll plant my butt on their couch and try not to wake my sister's up as I go nuts over every play like usual.

Also, since I've only used 2 of my 15 PTO days this whole year I decided to take off work on Friday, so I might drink a few more beers than I normally would. Gotta support the team!

Re: Lets Talk Pregame Festivities!
 

My night will have some drama in that I have to wait for my wife to get home hopefully by 6:30 so that I can rush down to the bar to meet my friends (can't leave a 5 month alone!). I am exicited to bust out my new Cooley jersey this year. I always watch the first game of the season at a bar. Last year it was Green Turtle for the MIA game, this year it will be BWW.

Re: Lets Talk Pregame Festivities!
 

Tomorrow is my mom's birthday...... I'm truly torn. Dinner with mom, or Redskins pre-game, game and post-game.

Re: Lets Talk Pregame Festivities!
 

5 months old is the perfect age to bring a kid to a bar. All the waitresses and chicks will babysit and you may even get lucky for being such a great dad. And the kids absolutely love neon, golden tee, and video poker.

Bring my five month old to a bar and use him as a pawn to cheat on my wife. Hmmmm...do you get the Father of the Year award the next day or right after you are done banging her.

Re: Lets Talk Pregame Festivities!
 

If your smooth enough, you get it right after you bring her home so your wife can bang her.

Re: Lets Talk Pregame Festivities!
 

I'll probably get off work, stop by the grocery store on the way home and pick up some beer and watch it at home. I have to work the next day, so my limit will be six beers.

I'll probably end up drinking all six before the 1st half is even over.

Re: Lets Talk Pregame Festivities!
 

just found out Obama will be in town Thursday night. trying to figure out how to see him, and make it to the sports-bar on time for kickoff

Re: Lets Talk Pregame Festivities!
 

I'm going to get home about 6:30 after going to work and picking up my 4 month old son. I will then change his diaper, and then out on his Burgundy Redskins onsie, his Redskins Sweatpants, Redskins socks, and Redskins Shoes. He will have his Redskins Pacifier with his Redskins Teething Ring. His Redskins bottle will be ready for him to drink out of. I'll lay my Redskins Blanket on the floor so that he can roll around while watching the game.
While listening to "Enter The Sandman" by Metallica i'll put on my Art Monk Jersey with my Redskins hat and my Redskins Mardi Gras Beads. I'll have a Chicken Breast and a Wing and my Baked Beans on my Redskins Plate. My fresh out of the freezer Miller Genuine Draft will be in my Redskins Koozie with my Redskins cup prepared for and consumption of juice. By Kickoff I will hold my beer and as the ball is kicked I will open my beer and take a drink. My son will also take a swig of his milk. Then I'll eat and scream and cheer for this will be the first actual football game that I shall experience with my son.

Hail To The Motherfuckin Redskins !!!!

Re: Lets Talk Pregame Festivities!
 

Well I'm off Thursday and Friday so I'll start drinking at around 1. My wife and I setup beer pong and corn hole in the garage and have some people over. The menu will be wings in the crock, burgers on the grill, Coors light, flaming dr.peppers, and a shot of Jose for each skins TD. Man I can't wait, football is finally here!!!!!

Glad you didn't have to put a lot of thought into it:silly:

I'll leave work around 5-530, get home and open a beer while listening to all the Naysayers putting the Redskins last in the division, AND then open the 2nd at Kickoff and watch us eek out a clutch victory while the announcer talks of the Giants let down and how lucky we were that Strahan retired.
I LOVE FOOTBALL
HAIL TO THE REDSKINS

Boneless Thursday...alright...

My daughter was a hit at the bar last year throughout the final run and playoff game. Granted, my wife was with us, but it certainly didn't hurt the service...

Re: Lets Talk Pregame Festivities!
 

Try to make up my mind on which jersey to ware, make sure its clean. Check out QVC's nfl shop, watch the pregame and pour my first drink and sing Hail to the Redskins.

Re: Lets Talk Pregame Festivities!
 

I will be drinking beers, eating guac and salsa, meatballs, and shots of bourbon for every skins td. No giants fans around!! Last year I almost fought my new yorker roomate and we didn't talk for days...new roomate this year to say the least.

Wings leave more room for beer.

Re: Lets Talk Pregame Festivities!
 

I already called out of work Friday. I was going to go to the game but a new bar is opening up near me and my friends owns a club promotion company and is sponsoring the party.

So Ill enjoy my VIP pass and free food and beer and watch the Skins in in Giants territory and be wasted!

So...do I wear a skins jersey to the club?

I hope you get really drunk really early and have to get another bottle of Jose!

I'll be getting home around 9 and starting the TiVo. My 3 year old is excited because he can stay up until he passes out watching the Skins (he sings Hail to the Redskins word for word... I'm so proud!) I'm fighting a cold so I doubt I'll be drinking beer but I will have to do a few shots if I'm going to put up with Madden.
