I know some here are probably set up bigtime for football watching, but let me share what I do, and how I'm set up:

Living Room:

DirecTV NFL Ticket and "over the Air Antenna on the roof" so I can watch 3 games in Surround. Main game on my 36" Panasonic, and two smaller el-cheapo TV's beside the main to watch 2nd/3rd fav games

Family Room/Kitchen:

DirecTV and Antenna to watch another game of choice on another 36" tv, in Surround

Garage:

DirecTV/Antenna for 25" and another smaller TV to watch two separate games. Beerfridge/Kegerator, coolers full of beer acting as coffee tables, Cowboys flag and Beer Chick posters everywhere. This is where we send all the loudmouthed drunks, smokers, overtalkers, beer spillers, you get the idea.

Backyard:

Gas and Charcoal grill cooking some form of Protein, and the Smoker doing ribs and some sort of Bird.

Anyway, off to fire up the smoker. got a crowd coming, saying farewell to my house, since I'm moving down the Street to Carrollton.

Wake up - have a beer. Then grab some cereal and turn on the tv, grab a beer and read the paper. Watch all the ESPN's and grab a beer. Surf the web (mostly here) and grab a beer. By this time it's lunchtime. Have a a sammitch and a beer and get ready for the game(s). Then it's 1:00 and I'll start drinking.

Man... its 10:25am in NY and I am wired. I am nervous... just like before a title fight.

Good thing there are two games that will help kill the time before our game.

Wake up.
Go to Church.
Eat breakfast.
Go to CowboysZone.
Watch ESPN.
Eat and drink as I watch football.

Sunday is my favorite day of the week for 5 months of the year.

I strip naked and recreate famous play from Cowboys history in my backyard. My neighbors don't like it but who cares. It's worked so far. :D

apparently i will sleep a little later than normal...shower and then
get online and read every thing i can about this weeks game
while wishing the game was an afternoon game instead of tonight
and oh yeah....dig frantically thru my dresser trying to find that
pair of lucky underwear that i am 100% sure brought us victory
in that last Super Bowl a hundred years ago.

I don't have a ritual or anything. Usually I like to go out or cook some breakfast. I like La Madeleine on a sunday morning. Then I'll go to my dad's house and sit to watch the games for a while, maybe have some friends over.

Tonight I am going to go to BJ's Brewery to watch the game, get there early for good seats then chill until it's over.

Despite my user name, I don't drink too much on Sundays, because it will ruin my Monday. Maybe a cocktail or a couple of beers. I will probably have some of BJ's delicious microbrew tonight.

Doin' fine daddio. Good morning.

Ya know, somehow I find your gameday routine very believable. Your water bill must be unreal. ;)

You must be on your second or third by this point. :)

I'm sure Yeager trips over the garden hose to simulate being tackled from behind before he hits the first down marker.
