I hope everyone got outside and did something fun this weekend. For some reason I’ll never know or understand, we’ve all seen the sun out past 4:30 p.m. ET for the last time this year. The extra hour of sleep and the extra hour of staying out at the bars used to be nice – few things ring sweeter to a 22-year-old’s ear’s than that time travel last call where the drinks are 1985 prices for that additional hour of boozing – but now that I’m an old man who wakes up early regardless and hasn’t heard a bartender yell for last call in almost a decade, there’s just nothing positive that comes out of 4 p.m. sunsets and perpetual darkness for the next six months.
On the plus side, the New England Patriots just won their fifth straight game, taking the Cleveland Browns behind the woodshed to the tune of a 32-13 beatdown that wasn’t even that close. It definitely wasn’t perfect, but this team just keeps getting better every week, and the rest of the league seems to just get worse. Hard not to be excited for the second half of the season.
I hope everyone has a fun and safe Halloween. It’s on a Friday this year, which should make it extra spooky. This year, I’ll be switching it up and dressing as a drunken New England degenerate.
