By the time you guys read this, I will have been out shopping with the wife for at least three hours.

I never participated in a single Black Friday until I met my wife in college. We headed out to Best Buy in Baton Rouge, La., around 4 a.m. and I was amazed at all the people who line up to shop. It sounds crazy to me, a guy, but is no different to women than obsessing over fantasy rosters, drafts and trades for 16+ weeks during the fall.

To each his or her own, right? Yeah, well I know that I need a nap right about now.
