Sunday night match up of the week:

Tom Brady's Patriots

vs.

Payton Mannings Colts-

my colts.

Thank you Billy Boy!

-Remember I love the Colts? Well tonight I love Bill Belichick because he made some uncharacteristic decisions that aided the Colts in their victory against the Patriots. If you didn't see it, it was my kind of game. Down to the wire.

Just about two minutes left in the game, 4th and 2, Patriots with the ball, no time outs left, on the Colts 28 yard line. Mr. Belichick decided to 'GO FOR IT!' It was an exciting few seconds, pass, catch, bobble, land. NOPE! Just shy by inches, Patriot turn over! Thank you Billy Boy!

2 min. left, Manning and the Colts drive for 28 yards in 3 plays. Bam, bam, bam with an little extra kick point on the top. Colts win it, after being behind the whole game.

End result: 35-34 Colts.

Favre-ulous!

Tonight was the big game of the week in our house as far as NFL football goes. Acutally, we've been looking forward to this game since Favre (correctly pronounced F-ah-v) said yes to the purple. Tonight The Vikings (Favre's team) played the Packers (Favres old team). Favre commented in interviews throughout the weekend leading up to this game that this game wouldn't be about revenge, he just wants to prove he is still a worthy QB. (Sounds like revenge to me) Oh, sweet revenge.

Now I've always been a Brett Favre fan, wether he looked like this...

or this..

Don't know what makes me like him so much or why I choose to like any professional athlete for that matter. Maybe it's the emotional story that is attached to him?

Heck, I'd probably still like him even if he looked like this..

maybe.

The game held loads of excitement, plenty of penalties and a plethora of phenomenal plays. I am personally enjoying the pink donned by every athlete and coach alike (NFL is supporting breast cancer.) Favre looked to have the abilities of his young self again, throwing many passes that made him who he is today. Jon Grudden (packers old assistant coach, therefore Favre's old coach) even added his two cents by proving the color throughout the game. I just felt bad for the Packers new QB, Aaron Rogers. Big shoes to fill and it could be argued he didn't fill them well enough tonight. I must comment on Favre's oversized jersey. Hello? Stacy and Clinton are coming for you...

So in the end Favre claimed his revenge and proved his worthiness. What's next buddy? What's next? (don't ask him. He doesn't know.)

p.s. go Colts

LAME-O!

"I hate it. So much!" I said as I slapped my knee.

It's head-shaking worthy.

I am a Colts fan, mainly cause I like the Manning brothers. Last night I watched the playoff game between the Colts and the Chargers.

Great game! Fun and exciting and right down to the wire, just the way I like em'.

Except...

OVERTIME RULES. ARRGH!

It all comes down to a coin flip. How does that prove the talent and 'deserving-ness' of a team? If you WIN the coin flip, you will most likely WIN the game.

Who thought of this sudden death thing anyway? NO chance for revenge. NO chance to come back. NO chance to match. NO chance to show your equality.

There they were, those chargers, CHARGING down the field in sudden death overtime. If the Colts could not stop a score, then it would be all over. Now, granted, the Colts made a lot of mistakes that last bit BUT still...

The Chargers scored and the Colts just sat there. Nothing more they could do.

ARGH!

I think I would hate it even if it was my team who had won.

Where is the equal opportunity?

Guess the NFL doesn't have everything right...

(I like how they have playoffs to get to the super bowl. Just like college football should forget BCS and do a playoff. Much more exciting. Much more opportunity.)

So. There it is.

LAME-O.

Poor Vince

Really...

When I think of {Vince Young} I remember the AWESOME USC vs. Texas Rose Bowl of 2005. If you saw you'll likely never forget the electrifying atmosphere Young and his crew created for us anxious, nail-biting fans. (Texas fans and USC fans alike) Being a Texas fan I gloried in Young more than some others in our company but we all agreed he was Heisman worthy.

Young's next spotlight would be a bang of a story, shooting out with blast and adoration but disappearing just as fast. The media raved about Young and his success as a rookie quarterback his first year in the NFL. And that's the last I heard.

Until...

{Poor Vince}...

You all know what I'm talking about.

There I was...doing my other things, when I notice the Sports News personell are talking about Vince Young again. What has he done? Well...he went to a friends house.

I guess you can't just up and go wherever you want, whenever you want when you're a big time NFL star.

Young left his phone at home when he went out causing alarm to those close to him. After 'those' tried their darndest to find him, 'they' went to Young's coach, Jeff Fisher, and the police to see if they could shed some light on the location of Young. Young was found and everything turned out to be a mis-understanding.

So WHY am I, and the rest of America, and probably parts of the world, Hearing about This???

:OH golly!:

Turns out Young had been 'thinkin' about suicide...says he can't handle the pressure of the big time. (Young's been booed as of late) Turns out Young was seen leaving with a gun.

TURNS OUT this (3 day, mind you) hoopla was an overreaction filled with inaccurate facts, says coach Fisher. One reporter even went so far as to say "Obviously something happened that involves some drama."

So, again, WHY am I hearing about this?

Guess they were out of stories and this one 'filled with inaccurate facts' just happen to happen at the wrong time...or the right time, depending on who you are.

I'm not saying the overreaction on the part of 'those' close to him was dumb. I'm saying it was dumb for the media to think we should all need to hear about it.

So now Young will sit the bench behind Veteran {Kerry Collins} so he can learn the 'art' of 'fame'.

And I will feel bad for him while I shake my head, once again, at the media for telling me something that doesn't make me a better person, doesn't affect the world we live in and isn't wholly true.

Poor Vince...

And oh, sorry. I guess it does matter to those who's 'fantasy team' was affected by the now benching warming bottom of Young, and to those who live in a different world than I.

tiny disclaimer. If it were my quarterback and it happened in the city I lived in...maybe I'd want to know about it.

That doesn't mean I should.

You ask Why?

2008-09-11T14:06:00.000-07:00

I'll tell you why. Due to the...uh...testosterone I married, every night in my house will undoubtedly consist of ESPN or other such sports related television. I do like sports. I myself am a college athlete, but lets be honest...there are other things to be done. Many other things.

So...while the well rounded, all knowing announcers and reporters ramble on about which ever and whatever...I do these other things.

Being female, I am able to multitask and multi-think. That means that it doesn't matter what other things I do, I will hear them. These astute men (and sometimes women) have become an unwanted part of our family room decoration. I'll always hear what's going on in the wide and wild world of sports. They have become a fixed background noise.

Throughout these lovely 4 years of marriage I have come to realize an astounding fact:

I have an opinion about something I don't want to have an opinion about!

There it is! The background noise has taken liberty and stuffed itself into the "my opinions" box of my brain. I didn't want it to happen. I didn't know it could.

It did.

So yeah! I have an opinion about that!

As for the name of this blog...

I usually make an uproar when the sports stations are "between season" (meaning: nothing is really going on right now so we have to make stuff up) or the inbox is empty...no more to report on (thus, they make things up)

Now, when I say make things up...I don't mean really. I mean they make a small and very irrelevant, insignificant, down right dumb story into something...worth reporting. And yet, while they report, the story isn't worth reporting.

Many times they go for days reporting on the same unworthy subject. AGH! The agony.

THAT's WHy I'm HERE!

To give my opinion on the so what's, why's and who really care's stories.

Like T.O.
