Watch The Footballs, Play the Footballs, Eat the Chilis, and Other Ways to Kick This Weekend Through the Uprights.

Recently, a three-year old boy was found safe after being missing in the woods for three days. Once his folks found him and asked what he’d been up to during that span, he said he “hung out with a bear for two days.”

That sounds like a good way to spend the weekend, though bears are admittedly not the easiest to find around these parts.

To make up for the lack of fur monsters, Dallas has lots of other things for you to do for three days. — Cory Graves
