As you stare at your TV, hoping that your jedi power allows football to appear while your digital cable menu says otherwise, you should know that there are other ways to pass your weekend. In fact, you better start looking for non-football alternatives because preseason NFL games are approximately 30 weeks away. Technically speaking, there are 54,305 things to do this weekend. Here’s a quick list of a few options divided into two parts:
Part 1. Recreation (Because it’s MY weekend Goddammit!)
1. Watch some college basketball. If you’re like me, you don’t start watching college basketball until March, when you put some money on your March Madness pool. If you’re like me, you also lose every year. Take this weekend to get a head start on the competition. (And to watch your eventual #16 NCAA Tourney seed Boston U Terriers take on the Vermont Catamounts.)
2. Watch some college hockey. (Devo, what the hell? College hockey? You mean the NHL? Do they still play that?) Well, yes, but this is college hockey, a non-existent pastime outside of New England and the Midwest. As a BU alumnus (the Penn State of hockey for many reasons) I can guarantee you two things: 1)College hockey is at least as enjoyable as the NHL. 2) BU will suck. Notable games this weekend include your 7-11-4 BU Terriers facing off against MissMet’s UNH squad on Friday and Saturday evenings.
3. Check up on some mock drafts. Get ready for the most overhyped sporting event of the year: The NFL Draft, taking place over the course of two interminable days on the last weekend of April. In the meantime, there are TONS of mock drafts on the net for you to google. To get thee most updated mockdrafts, go to http://www.realclearsports.com/.
4. NHL All Star Game. No Crosby, no Brodeur, but still some great talent that no one talks about, mostly because they play in the NHL.
5. Catch up on The Wire. The greatest show on tv right now, quite possibly the greatest drama of all time. It’s in its 5th and final season, but don’t begin the show with Season 5. It needs to be seen from Season 1. So hit up Blockbuster or Netflix and spend Saturday with Season 1 and Sunday with season 2.
6. Watch an NBA game. The big question is why? And now that I think about it, I can’t give you a good answer. Maybe we should skip this one.
7. Australian Open. Sure it takes place at a crazy time due to the 15 hour time difference, but you know that hot girl-on-girl porn you were going to watch tonite? Sharapova and Ana Ivanovic, both playing for the Australian Open Championship are hotter than both of them girls.
