Sunday is the only day all week I can sleep in so I'd prefer waking up later than 10.

 

You're going to hate when you become an adult.

 

And don't get pets. They don't care what day it is when it's time to eat.

There's no immutable law of adulthood that says you have to get up early in the morning. I work full time, do graduate work, have a kid and pets and get up before 10 a.m. only a couple days a week. Of course the caveat is that I don't really get much more sleep than anyone else (6-7 hours most days, less on others), but the world isn't as strictly "first shift" as it used to be.

Well, yeah, my wife's cousin lets her kids stay up past midnight and they'll sleep in until as late as noon somedays. There aren't many schools that adjust to kids with that sleep schedule though, and it's pretty important to have little ones on a decent schedule, so 99% of the people I know are in the same situation.

Setting those kids up for success. If you have kids I don't know how you sleep past 8. I think our kids go to bed too late, 9:30 pm for preschoolers but they are both up and at em by 7 every morning.

Oh, I have a dog who is up by 6. Not a big deal Monday - Saturday since I'm already up. On Sunday I feed him and take him out, then hope to cobble together a few more hours.

Actually recent sleep research shows that it's healthier for kids in their tweens and into adolescence to sleep later, and some schools are experimenting with unconventional school days because of it. But yeah, these are currently in the extreme minority and most people with kids (especially little ones) are stuck with the regular routine.

 

But I like fall Sundays because I roll out of bed, take a shower and eat some breakfast and sit down just in time for the early games (about 11 a.m. my time).

The only beverage I feel comfortable drinking at 9am with alcohol is a bloody mary. Gotta get to the bar an hour early to secure my spot.

My 2013 Bold Predictions:

 

1. Again, every year, there is a team that starts out on a long undefeated streak. This year, it's the Denver Broncos. Like the recent Falcons, Packers, Colts and Patriots teams to start on long undefeated streaks.....the Broncos will NOT win the Superbowl.

 

2. NFL passing records will go down again, with a record 12 QBs throwing for over 4,000 yards (previous high is 11), 5 of whom will throw for over 5,000 (also a record).

 

3. The Dallas Cowboys will win the NFC East and have a 1st round bye in the playoffs.

 

4. Adrian Peterson will NOT lead the league in rushing. Hasn't been a repeat rushing champ since Tomlinson in 06 & 07. Until last season, the 4 after Tomlinson all won the rushing title for the 1st time. This year will be another 1st timer winning the rushing title. Means no Peterson, Foster, MJD, or CJ2K. And I'll even say it WILL NOT be Alfred Morris.

 

5. The Saints were statistically the worst defense in NFL history last year, after this season, they will be the 2nd worse as a team will break all their dubious yardage against records.

 

6. Three of the final 4, the Falcons, 49ers and Ravens, will all finish the season with sub-.500 records.

 

7. Sophomores will slump. Players that took the league by storm last year will struggle big-time this season. That includes Luck, RG3, Wilson, Kaepernick, Morris. The QBs will be outperformed by Tannehill and Weeden. Morris will lose carries by mid-season to Helu, etc.

 

8. Despite record passing numbers, there has been a player (or 2) threatening the sack record each of the last 2 years. This year, despite record numbers, no individual will have more than 15 sacks.

 

9. For the first time since 2007, the Jacksonville Jaguars will not draft in the top 10 (not including trades). They win 7 games.

 

10. For the first time in NFL history (I think), a safety will lead the league in tackles (solo).

 

Predicted standings:

 

AFC East- New England, Miami, Buffalo, NY Jets

AFC North- Cincinnati, Baltimore, Cleveland, Pittsburgh

AFC South- Houston, Jacksonville, Tennessee, Indianapolis

AFC West- Denver, Kansas City, San Diego, Oakland

 

NFC East- Dallas, Washington, NY Giants, Philadelphia

NFC North- Chicago, Green Bay, Detroit, Minnesota

NFC South- New Orleans, Carolina, Atlanta, Tampa Bay

NFC West- Seattle, St. Louis, San Francisco, Arizona

 

Wildcards: Miami and KC; Green Bay and St. Louis.

 

Playoffs:

Cincy over Miami, Houston over KC

Chicago over St. Louis, New Orleans over GB

 

NE over Cincy, Denver over Houston

Chicago over Dallas, New Orleans over Seattle

 

NE over Denver

Chicago over New Orleans

 

Superbowl: Chicago over New England.

Pittsburgh and Indy at the back of the standings. Interesting. Wonder when the last time Pittsburgh finished in last place in their division.
