Football Guy: Lonnie Johnson Put On His Full Raiders Jersey And Helmet To Watch The Game From His Couch, Support The Team While On IR

This is perfect. Well, it's perfect minus the entire injury thing. There's nothing worse than having that boot on. I lived in a boot for 8 months and it sucks so much. You can't ever get comfortable, you're just lugging around a few extra pounds on your leg and have no idea how to sit with your leg. You try to go straight out and then your heel starts to hurt. You bend a little bit and your other leg catches a couple ricochet shots from the velcro or material on there. 

But it's that helmet that is throwing me off. You can't be comfortable in a helmet. I know I never really played football, but putting that on to sit on your couch doesn't make any sense. I guess you gotta stay ready to be ready, and this is how you stay game ready. You can't replicate the feeling of putting on your jersey and helmet on for a Sunday game (or Thursday, Monday, sometimes Wednesday, Friday and Saturday). Plus, you can't eat snacks with a helmet on. We already know how tough it is to get your own water bottle in the mouth while wearing one too. That takes away all the joy of sitting on the couch with a beer and snacks for football. Nothing beats your go-to seat, a cold beer and snacks during a game. 

Love the move though. Gotta support the team no matter what.
