The arrival of fall ushers in cooler weather, winter holidays, political stumping, and of course, football season!

Some of my best childhood memories are gathering around the TV with the family to root for "our team". Since Mom and Dad grew up in different states, they sometimes had different ideas about which team was "ours",  but by the time Superbowl Sunday rolled around, it always seemed like the whole family ended up on the same side.

It was (and still is) a great excuse to get the family together on a Sunday afternoon. For us, football Sundays are all about the fun of cheering at a successful pass or run down the field. Or groaning at turnovers. And crying "foul" when the referees make a bad call.  It's about having a great excuse to just plop down in front of the TV and gorge on chips and dip, grilled burgers, and cold drinks all day long.

To our family, football Sunday isn't always about winning or losing — it's about how you watch the game.
