It’s That time of Year. Nothing better than watching Football with my Dad.

It’s that time of year again—the season when the air turns crisp, the weekends revolve around kickoff times, and the sound of cheering crowds fills the living room. For me, nothing compares to watching football with my dad. It’s more than just a game—it’s tradition, comfort, and connection all rolled into one. From the moment the pre-game commentary starts, Dad is already in his favorite chair, remote in hand, analyzing matchups like a seasoned coach. I settle in beside him, and suddenly the world outside seems to pause.
The beauty of these moments isn’t only in the touchdowns, interceptions, or final scores—it’s in the little things. It’s in the way Dad shakes his head when a play goes wrong, the way his face lights up when his team makes a big move, and the way he still yells at the television as though the players can hear him. I’ve grown up hearing those same passionate exclamations, and now, as an adult, I realize how precious they are.
Watching football with Dad is about the stories too. He’ll often share memories of games he watched decades ago, the legends he admired, and the times he played a little ball himself in his younger days. Those stories weave the past into the present, making every game we watch together part of a much bigger picture. Sometimes we argue over a play call, sometimes we laugh at the commercials, and sometimes we just sit in quiet comfort, letting the game speak for itself.
What I treasure most is the bond. Life gets busy, and the days pass quickly, but football season brings us back together in the simplest, most meaningful way. Sitting there with Dad, I’m reminded that these moments aren’t guaranteed forever. One day, the chair beside me might be empty, but the memories of these afternoons and evenings spent watching the game will live in my heart forever.
So yes—it’s that time of year again. The time for snacks on the coffee table, cheers and groans at every play, and the priceless gift of simply being together. Because at the end of the day, football is more than just a game—it’s a reminder of how lucky I am to have these moments with my dad.
