The 2008 NFL preseason kicks off this Sunday. And that is awesome, just for the record, because I love the NFL. Granted, the game doesn’t matter, but who cares?! It’s the motherflippin’ National Football League!
Another reason I’m looking forward to the kick off of the NFL season is due to a goal I set back in December: look okay in a 2XL Seahawks jersey. At that time I was wearing size 4XLT shirts and deliberately purchased the jersey two sizes too small. I wanted – and still do – to fit into the jersey and not have blobs of fat straining against it by the time of the 2008 season kickoff.
The season kickoff is still a month away, and my Seahawks start the season off playing the Bills in New York (at 1:00 ET on Fox!). I may have another couple of weeks, but last night I tried on the jersey just to see how I was doing.
And much to my suprise, it fit really well. Granted, it wasn’t the billowy expanse of fabric that most jerseys look like on people; it fit more like a normal t-shirt. You know what? Normal t shirt is just fine by me. We’ll see how it fits in a few weeks.
