Ten Random Thoughts: Sunday Night Sports
Okay I know many of my vox peeps could give two bunks about football...but every once in awhile, I have to appease my inner sportscaster by sharing my sports thoughts. I apologize in advance. At least you know point number 5 still qualifies me as a bit of a trollop, as well as a sports junkie.
Cheers,
RPM
1. Being an Eagles fan this year is just not going to be an enjoyable experience. Especially being an Eagles fan in Texas.
2. Congratulations Philadelphia Phillies on your division title. I always thought Philly Phillies was a bit...redundant...but bring it on.
3. Giant's Defensive lineman Osi Umenyiora referred to his IV as, "superman juice." Considering how many times he had QB Donovan McNabb tasting turf, I guess I should keep my snark to myself.
4. Dear Dallas Fans: I know you're grinning and feeling good now...but trust me, Terrell is poison. Watch and wait. I realize saying this does not lessen the odds of you sneering and lambasting my team...but don't go embroidering those Superbowl jerseys just yet.
5. Dear Michael Strahan: While I want it on record that I loathe the Giants (as all Philadelphians do) and I also want it noted that I suspect your personal life is littered with more foolishness than a 14 year old slumber party, I could potentially sop you up with not one, but with two biscuits. But I never said I made sound dating decisions.
6. There's something Un-American about watching football in a house that rests at a nasty, sticky 85 degrees.
7. Dallas is four hours North. Houston, is two and a half hours East....how is it that Austin is such a Cowboys' town? And don't give me that America's team bullshit. Poor, poor Texans.
8. Damn the Green Bay Packers look good.
9. Hey ESPN...why'd you have to dis the potters? What'd we ever do to you?
10. Only thing sadder than the performance of my hometown birds this Sunday might have been LaDainian Tomlinson's stretch of postgame interviews to date.

yay Phillies!
I hate football and I have to admit, a sucky Iggles team makes life a little easier for me, not having to hear or feel all the buzz around town. gag. but at least I don't have to hear all about TO on the news anymore...... we all are sneering on the inside about how TO will infect the Cowboys, they can get as cocky as they want. It WILL happen.
Oh! Oh! please let me know. I would love to meet up with you.
BTW---my dad used to go to every single game. We have had season tickets since they used to play at Franklin-frickin-Field. And STILL I have never been to a game! Been to a million Flyers games, plenty of Phillies games. football was never my favorite, though I liked it a bit for a while (probably around the year they went to the Super Bowl).
But it still wasn't very nice of them to pick on potters. There are at least 20 different activities they could have chosen - like electrolysis.
You're going to lure me into football, aren't you? I'll actually have to restructure my normal commentary. Durn it... it used to be so easy.
I am going to try and keep my football rants to IM and talks with my football pals offline...but every once in awhile, it may slip out here. Glad to know there's at least three people that won't be bored to tears. LOLOL.
As the AC guy was outside replacing my unit, I talked his ear off for about an hour. That should tide me over til...tomorrow morning.
5 major injuries + 1 great QB = no excuse
He used to be great.
I'm trying to figure out how to work 'offsides' into my standard patter to amuse the kiddo during my version of play-by-play. I really do kind of enjoy football (but don't tell anyone!!!)
YES!!!!!!
Sorry for such a long comment. I'm a Titan fan but the Cowboys earned a lot of respect from me that day. I'm sure they are thrilled about that.
