For those of you who stayed up last night to watch football, we all got treated to some free action that dragged on into the night. Making this Friday morning quite a tough one to drag ourselves out of bed and off to work.

But it was worth it if you were watching the same game I watched: The Akron Zips versus the Buffalo Bulls on ESPNU. Unfortunately, the home team and my wife’s current school — Akron — lost in quadruple overtime. Oh yeah, and the Jets beat the Patriots in overtime after a pretty thrilling finish in the fourth quarter.

Anyway, TGIF and make sure to start some of these guys this weekend.
