You know I’m really liking being out here on the West Coast for a few days, and last night’s Pats/Ravens game currently sits as the biggest reason why.

I had the opportunity to watch a great game with tons of compelling drama last night. Saw it all unfold on TV as Baltimore and New England battled it out in a sixty minute slugfest. Right down to the Hail Mary pass that was caught at the two yard line to end the game.

Why is this a big deal? Because out here in San Diego I was actually able watch this game all the way until its conclusion!! Better yet, I wasn’t even remotely tired at game’s end, nor did I fight like the dickens to keep my eyes open for the majority of the second half. To top it all off, I actually got to see Tom Brady’s arrogance in full form as he basically bit the heads off of reporters who dared question him too harshly during the postgame press conferences.

I can’t remember the last time I was able to do this….wait, yes I can. Silly me, I certainly can’t remember the last time I saw a MNF game in full in the comfort of my living room.

I realize that these games will always start way too late for us folk on the East Coast to watch the full game comfortably and in its entirety, but would it be too much to ask for the NFL to do for the entire season what they do in Week 1 for MNF(doubleheader @ 7/10:30)?? It’s the one time of year where seeing an entire NFL prime time game is feasible.
