2008 Tailgate Kickoff

For Saturday's exhibition game against Washington, Con and I arrived about two hours pre-game, and with temperatures in the mid 80's, it was more like a beach than a tailgate, with many of the ladies in bathing suit tops and shorts. Con directed us to lot 5A and selected a perfect spot that shaded us from the sun. We fired up the grill (with a little hesitation on my part, as I had assembled it myself the previous night) and enjoyed our first tailgate of the season.

We were surprised that about a third of the stadium was empty for Favre’s first game in a Jets’ uniform. OK, so maybe it was pre-season, but shame on all the season ticket holders who expect him to lead the team to a division championship and but were noticeably absent at his debut.
