Yes, it sucks to get up earlier than usual for the players. And yes, it sucks for fans. But, I always enjoyed those games more as a player because there is no down time before the game. You get up, eat breakfast, hit the field and play. It’s better than waiting around all day thinking about the game. There’s usually a bigger chance of the team being a little flat, but hopefully Brad rattles the guys’ cages a little bit to wake them up.

Oh, and coffee and hot dogs sound delicious.
