After a disheartening Saturday night in Berkeley and a sleepless Sunday night in Denver, I spent Monday night propped up on my living-room couch watching Brett Favre(notes) and Aaron Rodgers(notes) engage in the NFL’s version of Celebrity Deathmatch.

Now it’s Tuesday, and thanks to the magic of Peet’s iced tea, I feel very much alive.

What better way to show it than to do some Live Trippin’ with my favorite work-avoiding readers? Beginning at 1 p.m. Pacific Time, we’ll spend a generous hour talking about my over-the-top interview with California Golden Blogs, the NFL’s most surprising team in 2009, your displeasure with where your favorite team ranks in my latest 32 Questions and, of course, the fallout from the Vikes-Packers clash.

Be there, or be somewhere a lot less cool.

After much heated discussion last week about the specifics of World War II – I was particularly amused by the assertion that Germany and Japan didn't really have very much to do with one another (except for, you know, Trying to take over the world … ) – I'm hoping we can get off the Poli Sci circuit and resume our usual battles over all things pro football.

Is Bill Belichick fearless, or is he just too frazzled by the state of his offense to think clearly? Is Mike Singletary a future coach of the year, or is he just a trou-dropping rabble-rouser on a hot streak? Speaking of men without pants, how could my beloved California Golden Bears absorb such a humiliating spanking at Oregon, and how many of my friends will I have to bail out of the Berkeley jail if the team performs similarly this Saturday against USC?

Let's get together and hug it out, real-time-cyber-style, on this week's Live Trippin', beginning Tuesday at 1 p.m. Pacific Time and continuing for a generous hour. We can debate my latest rankings, celebrate my killer upset picks (Bengals, Lions) and denigrate my not-so-swift ones (Niners, Titans).

Spirited skirmishes are encouraged, but please, No Nukes.

By now, you guys know the drill: You gripe. I type.

We agree to disagree.

Then we agree that I am right and you are wrong.

Or something like that.

Beginning at 1 p.m. Pacific time Tuesday and continuing for a generous hour, I'll be Peet's iced tea sippin' and Live Trippin', and I'd be thrilled if you'd join the party. Want to talk about my latest installment of 32 Questions, the proclamation in Morning Rush that Ray Lewis(notes) is the greatest defensive player of his generation or the scary post-concussion symptoms being experienced by former NFL linemen Kyle Turley(notes) and others detailed in Friday's Gameface? I thought so.

So let's do it. For if not us, then who?

Good news, football fans: With Tuesday's long-awaited return of 32 Questions, you now know exactly where your favorite team stands a week into the 2009 season. Or, more accurately, you know where I think it stands, and there's a decent chance this information will rile you up like Kanye West at the Video Music Awards.

The even better news: You have a real-time outlet to express your emotions. Beginning at 1 p.m. Pacific Time on Tuesday, you're invited to put aside your dreams of workplace productivity and tune in to Live Trippin' for a generous hour of no-cost therapy.

Angry over Michael Crabtree's(notes) contract dispute with the 49ers? Stressed that the Cardinals' month-long run as an elite team is ending? Eager to chat about the Steelers' overtime victory over the Titans, or Tennessee coach Jeff Fisher's grief over Steve McNair's(notes) murder, or Tom Brady's(notes) return from injury?

Or, best of all, are you looking to break down my spellbinding skills as a song rewriter or to suggest a number and topic for next Friday's Gameface?

If so, come join the cyber-party – and, for the love of the football gods, please don't ask me for fantasy advice or refer to Adrian Peterson as anything but his proper nickname, "AD."
