Bengals. Steelers. MNF. Does it get any better? :)

None of my brothers and brothers in law are much smaller than me, I'm 6'3" and 230 Lbs on a good day. We like to eat but kids and our wives and girlfriends always eat first. As a rule of thumb if you are hosting 25 people, cook for 50, plan for leftovers for 10 and send the majority of the leftovers home with those that don't live with the host. More often than not, there's plenty of food left over but 12 hours later (when the second and third Sunday game come to pass) the left overs evaporate, especially as my nephews go into their early teens (I'm not really hungry but let me have a few ribs and some wings as a snack...).
The bonus is when a game runs late and I have house guests over night, especially when the next day isn't a work/school day. I'll feed 'em breakfast and then start handing out saws and axes to build up the fire wood supply before they can escape back to Littleton. Have no doubt that the excessive calories get burned off well before lunch! According to my lil'bro the kids almost always sleep all the way home.
Meanwhile it's 17 to 10 Bengals and the Squealers still look like a heavily trod upon dog turd.
I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.

I can't even imagine how much food your family must go through, Otis!

"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill
