Sundays

Sundays are starting to get that Steelers feeling for me now that it's 56 degrees outside.

Weird schedule for the season this year, however: the Steelers don't play on a Sunday until September 24. Nuts. Then they are on bye October 1st, and they start a stretch of nine consecutive Sunday games (with four home games but only two west-coast games) on October 8th. The first of the series (10/8) is a Sunday night game. The rest begin at one or four. Then the Thursday night game against the Clowns and three more Sunday one o'clock starts.

The season is going to start pretty strangely, with games on Thursday and Monday, but will settle into the kind of every Sunday regularity I like best by October.
