Weekends in The Fall Season

I'm really missing out on my football games now. I work Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays. 2-10 pm and I miss ALL football games. Shit is not acceptable!!!! I realized this just this past weekend where I missed Iowa State upset Iowa and oipening sunday of the NFL(bears still lost, but still!). To top it all off, i just got this new drinking game for ESPN Sunday Night NFL:

Here's how to play:

• Set yourself up with a minimum of six beers for the three-hour game. If the Ravens are playing (and they are just about every other week), grab eight.
• Take the assigned number of swigs — about the equivalent of one ounce, or 12 swigs per bottle/can. Do NOT drink when Paul Maguire is speaking. You might spit it up.
• If any of the "chug" criteria is met, you must finish your beer, even if you have to take a leak really badly.
