Remorse? No, not at all. Actually, as I reflect and compare a season of football at home in front of the TV, to going to the games and tailgating, there is no comparison. The food is better, the atmosphere... I control, and the money and amount of quality time I saved was irreplaceable. If anything, I felt guilty for thinking about what I had missed over the last 20 years, @ home with my wife, friends and family. <br /><br /><br /><b>As for NFL Game Day, here are 13 things I do not miss before the game even starts!</b><br /><br /><br /><ul><br /><li>COST OF TICKETS<br /><li>TRYING TO FIND SOMEONE TO USE THAT EXTRA TICKET<br /><li> LEAVING THE HOUSE FOR 8 HOURS<br /><li>DEPARTING @ 9:30a.m. EVERY SUNDAY<br /><li>PACKING UP THE GRILL, FOOD and DRINKS<br /><li>HAVING A "ROADY" or TWO ALONG THE WAY<br /><li>DRIVING IN TRAFFIC<br /><li>DRIVING THROUGH THE PARKING LOT of DRUNKS and "UNRULY" OPPOSING FANS<br /><li>PARKING NEXT TO OBNOXIOUS HOME FANS<br /><li>HAVING TO USE THE WOODS or OUTHOUSE <br /><li>PACKING UP THE TAILGATE PARTY<br /><li>WAITING TO ENTER THE STADIUM (Security)<br /><li>GETTING TO YOUR SEAT and SEEING SOMEONE IN IT<br /></ul><br /><br /><b>Next week...

Personally, I like... BRATS, SAUSAGE and SHRIMP! Nothing is wrong with a little cheese and crackers and nuts, as well. Sit back, eat away, washit down and do it again. <strong>GAME TIME</strong> is near and <strong>TAILGATING</strong> will always get you in the right frame of mind.<br /><br /><br />The more people, you know, the better the experience! Share your all-time tailgating stories, experiences and layouts.<br /><br />Here is one of my favorites...<br /><br />N.Y STRIPS<br />SHRIMP<br />BRATS<br />SPINACH DIP<br />COOLER FULL OF BEER and RED BULL<br />CHICKEN WINGS (BBQ)<br /><br />12 of my close buddies and I went to FED EX FIELD to see the Redskins vs. Patriots<br /><br />SKINS won, food was awesome!
