Are You Ready for Some Football?

February 5, 2010 · 4 comments

I’ll be watching the Superbowl Sunday night, and as a former resident of the Hoosier State, cheering on the Colts.

Also because Payton Manning is their Quarterback, and he likes Oreos. I like Oreos too. So Payton and I have A LOT in common.

I really do enjoy a good football game now and then.

Especially if the Bears are winning. Or if Notre Dame is winning. Or if USC is losing.

I don’t really understand all the rules. I get the basic premise. Move the ball down the field, try not to get knocked down by some big, scary dude. Run across the goal line. NEVER let go of the ball. NO MATTER WHAT! (I heard that in a movie.)

I’ve even mastered how the whole Down thing works. I’m kinda proud of that.

But that’s about where my knowledge stops.

Oh, and I know the team dumps Gatorade on their coach at the end of the game when they win.

That’s your reward for success?

Men are so strange.

But I also know that a lot of you ladies could care less about the Superbowl. And some of you are excited about Sunday night only because it means an end to a very long season. No longer will you be a football widow on Monday, Thursday and Sunday. At least until next year.

So for those of you who just aren’t into throwing around the Ol’ Pig Skin, here’s some suggestions for ways you can enjoy the biggest football night of the year too.

1. Everybody knows the commercials and the half time show are really the best part. Just watch those and bring along a good book or your laptop for entertainment while the ball is in play.

2. Occupy yourself by redesigning both teams uniforms in your mind to make them more fashionable.

3. EAT! Good food goes hand in hand with the Superbowl. Dump the diet for one day, and eat junk food to your heart’s content.

4. Invite your girlfriends and their hubbies over to watch the game. The girls can dish in the kitchen while the guys high five in front of the TV.

5. Make a fair trade with your hubby. You watch the Superbowl with him, he takes  you to the newest Nicholas Sparks movie.

6. Console yourself with this thought- There are approximately 174 days, give or take a few, until the 2010-11 football season kicks off.

Have a great Superbowl Sunday!

Live Blogging the BCS Championship, Sorta

January 7, 2010 · 2 comments

I had a fantastic idea for a post while I was eating lunch today.

It was funny. It was clever.

It would have Rocked. Your. World.

But…

I can’t remember for the life of me what it was.

I need to start carrying a notebook around with me to write that stuff down in I guess.

Right now I’m watching the Big Game with Dave. I’m not a Texas fan or a ‘Bama fan. But I like sayin’, “ROOOOOOL TIDE!”

It’s fun.

More fun than sayin’ “Go Irish.” Go. Go try and actually win a game.

Maybe I’ll switch loyalties.

I do like the color red.

Am I the only woman who’s ever rooted for a team based on the color coordination of their uniforms?

Ooh, I can’t stand those ugly brown and orange uniforms the Cleveland Browns wear.

I mean, I get it. The Browns must have brown on their uniforms, but there are other colors that compliment brown that are so much nicer.

How about a lovely Tiffany blue with the brown. Very mod.

What? Not manly enough?

And looking like a giant Tootsie Roll is?

Uh-oh.

Dave’s yelling out football terms I don’t understand at the TV. Things must not be going well.

He’s cheering for ‘Bama.

He lived in Alabama for six months when he was a kid.

Not that you care. Just thought I’d throw that in there.

Oh, and I’m against the BCS ranking system by the way. I don’t know why. I just like to be contrary.

Are these one and two sentence paragraphs getting on your nerves yet?

I’m running out of stupid things to say, and I still can’t remember my award winning post idea. So I guess I’ll go.

‘Bama is ahead now, and Dave’s getting bored. He switched the channel to FOX News. He’s yelling out things at politicians instead.

Oh, before I go…

I’m posting my first Vlog here on MommieDaze tomorrow.

All the cool kids are doing it.

So if you ever wondered what I really look like or sound like (You probably haven’t), stay tuned.

Just remember the camera adds 10

or 20

or 30

pounds.
