Is It Just Me???

If Andrew Luck grew it a little longer and colored it red...

Hooters Saves The Day

The only time all year long I watch college basketball is during "March Madness". I love filling out a bracket and trying to pick the upsets.



The bad thing about "March Madness" is most of the games take place during the day when the tournament first gets started. It is hard to keep track of the Ohio State score with your boss peeking over your shoulder.


Well Hooters has come to the rescue! They are offering up a doctor's excuse, along with a coupon for a free appetizer. So just call in sick, head down to your local Hooter's, enjoy the games and come back to work on Monday with an excuse. I am not sure who thought of this but it is genius. If you are interested in participating all you have to do is go to the link below and print off your doctor's note and free appetizer coupon. Enjoy the games everyone.

Super Bowl Sunday Means Super Bowl Props

The Super Bowl reminds me of my grandfather. We loved betting on the Super Bowl props. We would put $10 on 10 we thought we could win and would watch the games together. It just makes watching more fun. My grandfather taught me how to gamble and while some might think that is a bad thing, it is one of my fondest memories. He taught me how to play cards and then would get me in the game with all his friends and I would take all their money. When I was 13 years old, I told people when I grow up I wanted to become a bookie. My grandfather is a lot of the reason I am the person I am today and I like who I am.

My grandfather passed away in 2005. To be honest, things have not been the same since. I miss him very much. I still carry on the props tradition and would like to share with you my picks for today.

My first pick of course was to take my Steelers +3. I love taking the Steelers as an underdog because they usually cover, if not win the game. I am counting on them to win it outright today.

Now for the props...we always do the coin toss. This year I am going to go with tails.

My next prop just looked so obvious to me. Usually that is a bad sign but I am going to go ahead and go with it. I have taken the over for longest field goal of 43.5 yards. How many games have there been at least 45 yard field goals? Surely one of these kickers can hit one in an indoor stadium.

Last but not least...Heath Miller. I love this guy and this one jumped out at me. I have taken Heath Miller to go over 3.5 receptions today.

Enjoy the game today and win some money in the process.

Only Chiefs Fans...

The Chiefs lost on Sunday. It certainly didn't stop these two from having a great day! Your team loses...why not go at it on the hood of a car after the game? I just hope it was their car.

Should I be proud or ashamed of being a resident of the state of Missouri?? It's a toss-up I think.

Tony Romo Out With Injury

Tony Romo will miss 6-8 weeks with a broken collarbone, suffered at the hands of the NY Giants during last night's game. Jon Kitna is the backup for the Cowboys and has not looked very good so far.

I think you can kiss the Cowboys season good-bye. I am grinning from ear to ear. Jerry Jones is probably vomiting right now in the shrimp cocktail bowl. Ahhh life is good.

Gisele Likes Girls

In a radio interview today, Tom Brady admitted to being whipped. He was asked by the radio host, Greg Hill,"is there anything I can do to make you cut your hair?" Brady responds, "Ah, you'll have to speak to my wife about that." Gag.

Look at this hair. It is a girlie mess. The only thing I can conclude is that Gisele must be into girls or Justin Bieber.

Grow some balls Tom.

This I Know

Every year I like to throw out a few random predictions I have come up with during the off-season. So here we go...

Everyone will know who Arian Foster is by the end of the year.

Aaron Rodgers is going to make Green Bay fans forget about Brett Favre.

Tom Brady has really bad hair. Get it cut man.

The Broncos fans will build a shrine to Tim Tebow and worship there daily.

Kurt Warner will be kicked off "Dancing with the Stars" the first week. The man could not even slide in the pocket what makes people think he can dance??

T.O. and Ochocinco will be fighting by the end of the year.

Matt Leinart will be a TV commentator after this season.

Thinking I will go with Cici's pizza this year over Domino's. Much cheaper and times are tough.

The Indianapolis Colts will not make the playoffs this year.

I would rather stay at home with my big screen tv, Red Zone channel and surround sound than to attend a game at a stadium.

Everyone will wish they had Ryan Mathews on their fantasy teams.

Vernon Davis should not be the highest paid TE in the league.

It sucks that Tom Brady can stand up straight, tall and still in the pocket while Roethlisberger has to run for his life every down. Man if roles were reversed I would love to see what kind of QB Brady really is.

Last but not least, the Steelers will win the Superbowl this year. Yea, I know...I say it every year. A girl has to be loyal to her team no matter what.

Tomlin Names Dixon Starter

Today Mike Tomlin named Dennis Dixon the starter for week 1 against the Atlanta Falcons. God help us.

Fast Willie Is Gone

ESPN is reporting that Willie Parker has been cut by the Washington Redskins.

I haven't seen any of the Redskins pre-season games this year to see how he is doing but you would think this guy could make their roster. Pretty sure some team will pick him up shortly.

The Cuban Missile Crisis II

This Cuban is going to cause a crisis for the St. Louis Cardinals. This Cuban is Aroldis Chapman, his arm, the missile. The Cincinnati Reds recently called him up from the minors where it was not uncommon to clock his pitches at 105 mph. Randy Johnson topped out at around 102 mph if that gives you an idea of the stuff this kid has.

I think the addition of Chapman is going to be just the edge the Reds need to clinch the Central division and move on in the playoffs. My only concern is Chapman being overworked very quickly. Let''s hope Dusty Baker will take it easy on him so he lasts through the playoffs.

I just love seeing the Cardinals in crisis. It makes my heart warm.

Mariotti Arrested For Domestic Dispute

I was shocked when I heard this about Mr. Mariotti because he has always been one of my favorites on ESPN. But to me the most shocking part of it was it was with his girlfriend. Honest to God, I thought he was super gay. Really, truly I did. When I went to read more about it I just knew it would say with his long time partner Steve. Whooopsie!

Farewell Brett Favre

It is being announced on ESPN that Brett Favre told the Minnesota Vikings last night that he will retire.

I really thought he would play one more year so this shocks me a bit. Minnesota has a good shot to get back into the playoffs again and go all the way. I have always enjoyed watching him play and he will be missed.

More than anything though, I hope we don't have to go through all the retired, now un-retired stuff again. Stay gone Brett. Your last season was your best season stats wise, go out on top.

Game Over

Well Lebron has moved onto become a member of the Miami Heat. I think it is safe to say next years NBA Finals will be between the Lakers and the Heat. Lebron with D-Wade and Chris Bosh. It just isn't fair.

I feel bad for the people of Cleveland. They really haven't had much luck with sports in that town. John Elway will be forever famous for screwing the Browns out of the Superbowl with "The Drive." In 1997 blowing Game 7 of the World Series. Now this...the kid from your state takes off to Miami Beach. I am sorry people of Cleveland. You deserve better.

There is one bright spot...one of the best new shows on TV, "Hot in Cleveland" has just been signed to another year. No more Lebron but at least there is always Betty White.

How Much Longer Until Football Season???

I am bored. The Cubs suck. No arena football. World Cup???? Whatever. I need some football. My heart did beat a little faster this morning when I saw Yahoo is starting to let people sign up to play fantasy football. We must be getting closer. I got out my calendar and counted it out. 95 more days. That is 3 more months people! So I have to come up with something to keep me occupied for 3 more long heart-wrenching months.

After much thought I have come up with a list of things to have done by September 9th...aka the first NFL game that really counts.

1. I will have read at least 10 books. To some people that will seem simple but I am telling you it took me 6 months to get through that "Twilight" book. Whatever the 2nd one was called.

2. My bedroom closet will be cleaned out. I can barely open the door right now. By Sept. 9th, I will be able to have a small cocktail party in there.

3. I will have bought a new Steelers jersey for this season since I had to get rid of Santonio Holmes and don't feel too good about wearing Roethlisberger out in public right now. Thinking... I don't know...maybe Polamalu away jersey or Mendenhall home jersey.

4. I will finally make a budget and try to live by it. I spend so much money on stupid stuff all the time. This way I will have more money for Domino's Pizza delivery once the season starts. No more looking for loose change in the sofa.

5. I will have written both my regular bucket list and my sports bucket list down somewhere and put in a notebook so I can look at it and make a plan to make it all happen. Life is too short and I have a ton of things I want to see and do.

6. I will work out 6 days a week at least 30 minutes per day. This way I will be big and strong and able to throw heavy things at my TV when the Steelers lose.

7. I will watch all 5 seasons of "Weeds". Heard too many great things about the show...I need to see what it is all about.

8. I will take one more writing class. This time one that makes you actually write so that maybe one day this might be a decent blog.

I Suck Sooooooooooooooo Bad

That the terrible Raiders have cut me!

Where in the world does JaMarcus go from here?? Is there any team lower than the Raiders that would take him?? Another wasted #1 pick.

Ben, I Love You, But I Am Not IN Love With You

Dear Ben,

As you know I have been in love with you for some time now. Your confidence, your ability to twist your way out of trouble and well the fact that you hate tomatoes as much as I do was the real clincher.

But Ben, you are being accused of rape every 5 minutes and now this. Look at your hair. It is just not right. It is the mullet from hell. You just got off the hook yet again and hold a press conference. Can you not shave your face and do something with that nasty hair? It is pretty bad when Billy Ray Cyrus has better hair than you do.

I will always love you but I am just not in love with you anymore. I am moving on to a new quarterback. That's right, I am leaving you for another man. His name is Mark Sanchez. He is smoking hot and I have not heard any screams of rape yet. Look at those abs...maybe you would have abs like that if you didn't booze it up so much.

I wish you luck. I might even miss you a little. But I am movin' on Ben.

Love always,

Your tomato hating beyotch

Jerry Jones Has Bad Night At Hooters

I already could not stand Jerry Jones. This just makes it so much worse. If you are out in a public place, you should probably keep you mouth zipped considering even my techno deficient mother has a camera and could tape you.

Jerry you are a douche. Always have been, always will be. Get a clue.

Waiting for Football Season...

A fellow co-worker has gotten me involved in a home run derby pool. I will do pretty much anything if it involves the chance to compete and win money. The cost is $10 per team. 7 players are picked to be on your team. Of course you cannot pick Pujols, Howard, Gonzalez, etc. You get one of those players. Then you pick from a "B" group and then a few from the "C" group.

Considering we are months away from football season, I am hoping that this will take my mind off things. So here is the team I put together...
Ryan Howard, Miguel Cabrera, Ryan Braun, Mark Teixeira, Evan Longoria, Alfonso Soriano and Jay Bruce.

I hope more than anything it makes watching baseball more interesting. It will never take the place of football but it just might keep me from watching the NFL Combine videos over and over all summer.

Top 10 Reasons To Watch "Dancing With the Stars"

10. They have finally gotten rid of that terrible co-host Samatha Harris and replaced her with Brooke "I can actually speak without tripping over my words" Burke.

9. Host Tom Bergeron is a silver fox.

8. That hot mess Kate Gosselin will dance. She will have a show called, "Tony Dovolani Made Me Want to be a Mommy...Again."

7. Erin Andrews will be dancing. Rumor has it, she has a peephole camera installed in her dressing room.

6. Pamela Anderson. Nothing else to say about that.

5. 80 year old Buzz Aldrin gets to dance with a 20-something hottie. Let's start the pool for how long he lives.

4. He is Aiden Turner and he is pretty.

3. She is Nicole Scherzinger and she is pretty.

2. Shannen Doherty proves to us she still has a career. Well, if you consider this show a wise career move. It has done wonders for Joey Lawrence's career.

1. Chad Ochocinco will be the first contestant to be fined by the judges. There are no lifts in a Viennese Waltz! Fine of $10,000 for each lift.

Tune in March 22nd for this mess-fest on ABC.

Delhomme to Be Released Friday

ESPN new is reporting that Jake Delhomme will be released from the Carolina Panthers as early as tomorrow.

They made a huge mistake when they signed him to that big deal last year. The guy has always been injury prone and well, he just sucks. Delhomme threw way too many interceptions. Matt Moore got his shot last year and did well, so the Panthers are in good shape without Delhomme.
