The Packers kicked off the NFL season this year by taking on the Saints at Lambeau Field on my birthday. A few friends and I met up at Logan Bar & Grill to watch the game. This is probably the sportiest of the bars in Logan Square. We don’t really have sports bars here. The weather was on the cooler side, but nice, and it started raining. Logan Bar & Grill had their doors/windows wide open and it felt really nice, without having to actually be outdoors.
The game was the first time since 2000 that the last two Super Bowl winners were matched up. Also, it’s the third time in four seasons that the Packers opened the season on national TV at prime time at home. No pressure, guys! The game was exciting and high-scoring. And, though I was a little scared on the last drive, the Packers ended up winning 42-34.
Also, Dallas flew to Las Vegas yesterday. I gave him $20 to put on the Packers at the sports bet. He added $30 and so we had $50 riding. If the Packers won by 4 points then we’d win $100. This was the first time I ever was cheering for the spread as well as a win! Kind of stressful!
Thanks to everyone who came out for drinks on my birthday! It was an exciting, but laid back night. … Just what I wanted.
