I've even shouted at people sitting at neighboring bar stools (strangers, mind you) that, "They have No idea what they're talking about and should keep their mouths shut when it comes to discussing the Redskins!!" On multiple, again, countless occasions. I havn't made many friends this way but... whatever, I'm not looking for new friends. Especially such negative ones. ick. Can you think of NOTHING else to talk about other than the Redskins and trying to dissect EVERYTHING that's going wrong this season? Cause you're gonna be in that bar ALL day. You might even sleep there and continue on tomorrow where u left off yesterday. Frankly my dears... <em>I don't give a damn</em>. Eespecially about your uneducated, under-researched, loud and passionate opinions. Which you <em>insist</em> on defending no matter how much sense you are NOT making. <br />
<br />
I've completely stopped listening to sports talk radio. It's just too depressing and it pisses me off listening to call-in listeners who (again) think they know EVERYTHING when really they're just freagin idiots. I miss my Sports Talk Radio. And thats only the beginning; I'm sure you've gathered that. If I <em>had</em> written the past few weeks (months? eeek it's been so long!) TRUST me, you would <em>not</em> have wanted to read it. Unless you enjoy a bunch of cursing and whining and stories of destroyed dreams and crushed souls. I'm not giving up on my Show Some Skins blog. No No No Never. The names too good to give this one up ;) How bout some sweet highlights from the past few games? Will that tide you over till something NOT awful happens with the Redskins? I hope so. Being a Bye week, I've got a lil time to catch up. :) Now, where do I begin...<br />
<br />
Ok i dont feel like writing. SUCH a blog tease. Sorry yall. Here's a photo montage of the games I didnt blog about. We just got wasted and screamed at people for booing. and cried. and screamed some more. We got so drunk we didnt even realize Cooley got injured. I know. Fan FAIL. I almost got in a wreck when my friend Nick told me on the phone after the game. The I parked and cried some more. ANyways... hereee ya go!<br />
<br />
<strong>RAMS GAME-</strong><br />

Unfortunately we were so drunk and pissed that K (the skinny one in the middle with the socks) didn't come into the game to hang out with her ex bf... lame... that we totally forgot to take any pictures. FAIL. DAMMIT. It was awesome though and the Indian get-ups were a HUUUUGE hit. HUGE. <br />

I love them too much. That is all. Sorry I was so MIA. This isn't easy on me. (In a sad, serious way. sighhh)<br />

<br />
The pic was indeed taken at the Kenny Chesney concert. I'm not wearing it bc it was raining and I didn't wanna get it wet b/c I had just gotten it the day before. And it was hot like hell that day (hence you can tell I'm wearing a bikini top). I submitted a different picture and it was soooo amazing but they emailed me and said that it um... it couldn't have alcohol in the photo. Which knocked out almost <i>all </i>of my other options as well. However I'm over it. I'm just SO excited to be a part of it =). Help me win top 5!!!! Thanks guys! I'll blog about the Skins game tomorrow and possibly even the Auburn game b/c we had an <i>amazing </i>win over WVU. <br />

Ok it's shortly; I've never participated in a fantasy draft <i>shhhhhhhh</i>. I fill out my pre-draft ranked list thingy and do my research but never sign on for the draft, I just let the computer do it for me. Why? Meh... I guess one reason would be I have better things to do but honestly it just stresses me out and it's pointless. The computer's gonna pick my next highest ranked player anyways so why am I sitting there? I'm not. Besides, if by some chance I suck ass all season... you know what I'm blaming it on and it ain't me. <i>"I was screwed from the get go!!!" </i>Excuses are my specialty. Ok here we go:<br />
<br />
1) League- Fatpickled<br />
Team Name: TheTightestEnd<br />
This league is put on by <a href="http://chriscooley47.blogspot.com/" linkindex="22">The Cooley Zone</a> and <a href="http://www.fatpickled.com/" linkindex="23">Fatpickled</a>. <a href="http://www.fatpickled.com/?p=522" linkindex="24">You can read about the members here at the Fatpickled blog</a> (I'm in there ;-) and this was what I got... (click on it to make it bigger)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Bx5Qo4Pil2U/Sp_XkscB1jI/AAAAAAAAAWE/M_MAm9V3zPA/s1600-h/snapshot.pngbig.jpg" imageanchor="1" linkindex="25" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Bx5Qo4Pil2U/Sp_XkscB1jI/AAAAAAAAAWE/M_MAm9V3zPA/s400/snapshot.pngbig.jpg" /></a></div><br />
I hope Carson Palmer's ankle stops being lame. PS- How <i>amazing </i>is Hardknocks?!? I'm obsessed! I cant believe next week is already the finale! I'm gonna miss it. I've been praying that they do Hardknocks with the Washington Redskins next year... that would be insane. Who do y'all think they'll pick next year? K back to my team... Dear Michael Crabtree,<br />
STOP BEING SO FREAGIN <i>ARROGANT </i>AND <i>SELFISH</i>! UGHHH<br />
I am SICK of these stupid rookie NOBODIES demanding more money than <i>millions of dollars</i>. It's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard of. I kinda hope that if he does finally sign that he just breaks his foot the next day like Andre Smith because ya know what <i>that's</i> called??? KARMA. It's KARMA. And it doesn't matter if you're on my team or not, I don't care, Karma gets <i>everyone</i>. It never discriminates. Good luck Crabtree. <br />
<br />
2) League- FFtwitter <br />
Team Name- TheOneThatGotAway<br />
So some girl on Twitter who does fantasy football updates started a league and I joined because I thought... why not? I'm actually really excited about this one I <i>adore </i>Philip Rivers...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Bx5Qo4Pil2U/Sp_bdvuaqoI/AAAAAAAAAWM/K8VpMRuBi2g/s1600-h/snapshot.png22.jpg" imageanchor="1" linkindex="26" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Bx5Qo4Pil2U/Sp_bdvuaqoI/AAAAAAAAAWM/K8VpMRuBi2g/s400/snapshot.png22.jpg" /></a></div>I think the whole team looks pretty good... a slight shortage in WR's but... whatcha gonna do? I just noticed there are 3 WR spots in this league... weird.<br />
<br />
3) League- Fantasy Throwdown 2009<br />
Team Name- BlondeThatSkors<br />
This league... <i>these </i>are a bunch of my close friends so IT MATTERS. Whit started up the league and I HAVE TO BeaT HER. Not winning is NOT an option.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Bx5Qo4Pil2U/Sp_c9mJn70I/AAAAAAAAAWU/a24EeuR3oHI/s1600-h/snapshot.pngespn.jpg" imageanchor="1" linkindex="27" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Bx5Qo4Pil2U/Sp_c9mJn70I/AAAAAAAAAWU/a24EeuR3oHI/s400/snapshot.pngespn.jpg" /></a></div>This team is and is not going to make it easy on me. <b>Is not easy:</b> Why so many Questionables and Probables???!! The season hasn't even STARTED yet for crying out loud. UGHHHH<br />
<b>Is easy:</b> Ladanian I heart you. I'm so pumped I got you. Maybe now I can buy a Chargers jersey and validate the purchase. Yeah? Maybe? Next, Ronnie Brown you are going to be <i>so </i>sick this year. Ronnie went to Auburn when I did so we're as tight as two people who have never really met can possibly be. He's beast. And Williams, you'll do lol.<br />
<br />
So what do you think? Which team is the best? Which team is the worst? What can I do to make them better? What should/shouldn't I be worried about? How do your teams look?Frankiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16294593292906211413noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7036533069654787802.post-26253478112864552102009-09-02T07:12:00.001-07:002009-09-02T15:01:34.913-07:00LET'S GO SKINS On 3<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Bx5Qo4Pil2U/Sp59U1EtdsI/AAAAAAAAAVM/eDTcSJZ7_dU/s1600-h/5252_707563609769_7807655_41854838_1683556_n.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Bx5Qo4Pil2U/Sp59U1EtdsI/AAAAAAAAAVM/eDTcSJZ7_dU/s320/5252_707563609769_7807655_41854838_1683556_n.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376872801924642498" border="0" /></a>I woke up on Friday knowing I would probably not get much work (if any) done the whole day. The Redskins vs. Patriots game was at 7:30 or 8 pm or something which gave me 10+ hours to twiddle my thumbs in anticipation and stress about how much work I should be doing. I did this from my couch, wondering if anyone would pass by my office and notice I wasn't there (they did).<br /><br />It was a rainy Friday, just like <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">gameday</span> the week before. I was initially very upset about this. If I'm going to skip a whole day of work for a Skins game I expect to get in some intense tailgating complete with melt your face off sunshine. No such luck today. I put in 2-3 hours of semi-solid work which I think is pretty impressive considering I wasn't planning on doing any hours of work. Guilt is a very powerful motivator.<br /><br />I shower, round up every article of burgundy and gold clothing I own, grab two bottles of wine, check to make sure the corkscrew is in the car (it is), thank myself profusely for putting <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">rainguards</span> on my windows the other week and head out to pick up Jenna J (no, not a porn star), <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">JC</span> and Devin. We meet Whit at my parents house to grab the tickets. As I'm getting the tickets from inside and talking to my mom (or so I think) I notice she isn't responding to anything I'm saying. I am completely talking to myself. I go outside and find my mother chatting up my car full of friends which would normally be totally fine... but not today. Today my car is "bar car" and all my friends are drinking since we're running a little late for tailgating. Mom's not a fan of bar car. Mom now thinks I'm an alcoholic in desperate need of new friends. Splendid. Moving on.<br /><br />By the time we get to the stadium we're all pretty much drunk. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Hmmm</span>... Mom may be right... <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Bx5Qo4Pil2U/Sp6GKrS1jhI/AAAAAAAAAVc/_rDGWF1ns18/s1600-h/5fix252_707563554879_7807655_41854834_3307232_n.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 318px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Bx5Qo4Pil2U/Sp6GKrS1jhI/AAAAAAAAAVc/_rDGWF1ns18/s320/5fix252_707563554879_7807655_41854834_3307232_n.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376882523105496594" border="0" /></a><span style="font-style: italic;">Anyways</span> I'm really excited because it's a little chilly which normally I would hate but not when I'm <span style="font-style: italic;">dying </span>to wear my new "Chris Cooley Is My Life Coach" sweatshirt. Rain or no rain I could not be happier.<br /><br />We all decide that we're ready to go in. This will mark the first time that I have <span style="font-style: italic;">ever </span>gotten into the stadium without having to sprint to my section to see kickoff. We chill around the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">endzone</span> bar and get some drinks. By "some drinks" I mean we take shots of tequila. It wasn't my idea but I'm not one to turn down free alcohol. Whit sees a group of 6 police officers huddled in the corridor. She approaches them to take a picture of us and begins chatting (she's intrigued by the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">popo</span>).<br /><br />After a couple minutes we find out that the policeman she's talking to is a Pats fan. I step back in utter horror, "But... but you <span style="font-style: italic;">work </span>for the <span style="font-style: italic;">Redskins</span>!" I look with wide eyes to the rest of the officers for support, motioning wildly, clearly distraught. "Don't look at <span style="font-style: italic;">me</span>," says the one next to me, "I'm a Cowboys fan." <span style="font-weight: bold;">GASP</span>, "<span style="font-style: italic;">NO</span>!" I take a step back and look at the officer next to Cowboys fan, "What about you?!" I say with a desperate whimper in my voice, hoping against all hope to find <span style="font-style: italic;">one </span>Skins fan in the bunch. "Same... Cowboys fan."<br /><br />My eyes reach their full wideness (and wildness) and I just begin pointing at the remaining officers to find out which team they root for. Bengals, Bengals, 49<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">ers</span>. I take a few more steps back and look at Whit and Jenna who seem to not be bothered by this in the slightest. I feel <span style="font-style: italic;">deeply </span>betrayed and am almost certain that I would feel this way even if I was completely sober. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">JC</span> and Devin walk up from the bar, "What's wrong?" they ask to the girl who looks like she just saw a ghost (that's me), "<span style="font-style: italic;">NONE </span>of them are Skins fans!!" I scream and point at them in tattle-tale fashion, "Pats, Cowboys, Cowboys, Bengals, Bengals and 49<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">ers</span>! It's just NOT <span style="font-style: italic;">RIGHT</span>!!"<br /><br />"It's <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">ok</span> boo" says <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">JC</span>, "Let's go get another drink." I'm swayed. I'm so easy sometimes. As we walk away I glare daggers at all the cops, mentally daring them to say something about the Redskins. They don't. I notice Whit and Jenna are still talking to them. Traitors.<br /><br />I glance at my phone, "<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">OMG</span> WE GOTTA GO!" I scream for Whit and Jenna and begin sprinting towards my section (I guess I'll be doing this no matter what time I get in the stadium). I glance to see if my friends are following and Whit runs straight into my drink knocking it all over me. How can I be mad when she's so enthusiastic and it's 30 seconds to kickoff? I cannot. We laugh and pick up the pace to an all out race. Parents with small children beware.<br /><br />We scream, "See you at halftime!" to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">JC</span> and Devin and dart into section 126.<br /><br />Jenna was pumped because she had never been to a Pats game. Did I mention Jenna's a Patriots fan? I'm not sure how much of her <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">fanaticalness</span> (word?) is due to the hotness of Tom Brady and how much is due to actual... fan-like feelings? <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">Hmmm</span>. I know she wasn't born in New England so scratch that off the list. I also know she <span style="font-style: italic;">loves </span>her some Tom Brady. So let's blame it on Tom. I bet we could blame many of the worlds issues on Tom. <span style="font-style: italic;">I </span>was excited (as was Whit) because I knew the starters were going to be in for half the game. So like half the game was basically a real game that just didn't count. To me though it's not about wins and losses (bold-faced lie), but seriously guys... it's about performance and pride (and wins and losses).<br /><br />Lucky for us this is just preseason because as you all know we lost. We did, however, rack up some <span style="font-style: italic;">serious </span>pride points and put on one <span style="font-style: italic;">hell </span>of a performance. Jason Campbell... didn't I <span style="font-style: italic;">say </span>the boy could throw down field!??!!! <span style="font-style: italic;">DIDN'T</span> <span style="font-style: italic;">I</span>!?! Can we do that ALL SEASON PLEASE!? Everyone say it... "You were right Heather". If you don't want to say it now, that's fine. You can tell me at the end of the season. Either way, you'll be saying it. <span style="font-style: italic;"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">Ohhhh</span> </span>yes, you'll be saying it.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Holy </span>Native Americans, Campbell's pass to Moss was unbelievable! Santana is back!!! <span style="font-style: italic;">How </span>he stayed in bounds is beyond me. Snaps for Moss for getting his feet down on the play. And who is this <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">Marko</span> Mitchell?? Why was I unaware of this player before? And Marcus Mason? Where did these boys <span style="font-style: italic;">come </span>from?? Are these the missing puzzle pieces? The Redskins finally meshed well! I get chills thinking about it.<br /><br />Santana's not the only one who's back. Standing ovation for Mr. Chris Cooley (hey boy <span style="font-style: italic;"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17">heyyyy</span></span>). He <span style="font-style: italic;">owned </span>that field Friday night. His 73 yard gain was B-E-A-<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18">Utiful</span>. I vaguely remember him having another long pass that was either overthrown or a little off... but I might be making that up... that might have been a pass to Kelly... or another to Moss? I can't remember. Cooley looked like a machine running down the field though, I remember that. We all screamed, <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Bx5Qo4Pil2U/Sp7NsKDU1oI/AAAAAAAAAVk/Vu8qleCGNQs/s1600-h/5252_707575640659_7807655_41855684_96613_n.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 230px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Bx5Qo4Pil2U/Sp7NsKDU1oI/AAAAAAAAAVk/Vu8qleCGNQs/s320/5252_707575640659_7807655_41855684_96613_n.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376961163623192194" border="0" /></a>"<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19">COOOOOOOOOOOOOOLEY</span>!!" and I waved and chopped my tomahawk through the air.<br /><br />I feel inclined to mention that that may be the worst picture I've ever taken. It's got spirit though. Lots of spirit. Notice the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20">shaka</span> in the background? The dude behind us was Hawaiian. He LOVED him some Colt Brennan. I also like in this picture how we are clearly <span style="font-style: italic;">not </span>hanging out with Jenna the Patriots fan.<br /><br />On to the best part of the game. 3rd and goal on the 4 yard line. Campbell drops left and looks. We hold our breathe. No one's open. Campbell keeps his composure and PUMP FAKES THE SHIT OUT OF THE BALL CONFUSING THE HELL OUT OF PATS LB PARIS <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_21">LENON</span> (<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_22">ohhh</span> what an idiot you looked like Paris) AND RUNS STRAIGHT INTO THE <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_23">ENDZONE</span>. He does <span style="font-style: italic;">what </span>now? <span style="font-style: italic;">YOU </span>HEARD ME. TOUCHDOWN BITCHES! Oops, I mean TOUCHDOWN REDSKINS! <span style="font-style: italic;">And... </span>I even saw Jason Campbell crack a smile. Swear on my life I saw a grin. I talked about and re-brought-up that play for the rest of the night, "Did you <span style="font-style: italic;">SEE </span>that!?!" Jason Campbell I am in awe of you. I missed you. War Damn Eagle Baby.<br /><br />Halftime consisted of drinking, meeting up with friends and a whole lot of, "Did you <span style="font-style: italic;">SEE </span>that!?!" After halftime we didn't go back to our regular seats. We followed <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_24">JC</span> and Devin to Devin's seats because he said there were open ones around them. I walked straight past the woman checking tickets and just pretended to be deaf and/or stupid (she didn't come after me). These seats were worth it. Home side, 10 yard line, 3 rows up from the field. THREE rows up from the field. Observe:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Bx5Qo4Pil2U/Sp7TopsC9dI/AAAAAAAAAV0/Du6JwyN99yA/s1600-h/5252_707575690559_7807655_41855691_762855_n.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Bx5Qo4Pil2U/Sp7TopsC9dI/AAAAAAAAAV0/Du6JwyN99yA/s320/5252_707575690559_7807655_41855691_762855_n.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376967700465776082" border="0" /></a>That's not zoomed in at ALL. Oops maybe it wasn't ten yard line... looks like <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_25">endzone</span>. Whatever. They were awesome. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_26">Randle</span> El ran right past us <span style="font-style: italic;">twice</span>. So close I could have talked to him without even yelling. Incredible.<br /><br />Side note: What are your thoughts on the new Redskins cheerleader uniforms? Anyone else think they just look like American Apparel?? I kinda miss the old ones.<br /><br />Back to the game. I'm <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_27">drunkish</span> and very <span style="font-style: italic;">very </span>happy. Until Colt throws a pick. Dammit Colt. His face (besides being adorable) is the exact opposite of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_28">Campbells</span> and not just because he's white and Campbell's black... b/c that's an obvious and I feel retarded even stating it. Brennan shows <span style="font-style: italic;">so </span>much emotion on the field. His face just <span style="font-style: italic;">fell </span>like, "Oh God <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_29">noooooo</span>! <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_30">Whhhhy</span>?! Fer real?! Again?!?" Man and then he just got taken down <span style="font-style: italic;">hard </span>trying to stop the rush. I hope he puts on a <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_31">freagin</span> stellar performance against the Jaguars because I'm sick of people talking about cutting Colt. It's ridiculous. Why would people say such things? He <span style="font-style: italic;">did </span>have a gorgeous touchdown pass in the 3rd. And thank God because he deserved it. 33 yards to Mitchell (who <span style="font-style: italic;">is </span>that kid?!) and it's all tied up at 24.<br /><br />In my head the game ended at 24. In preseason I don't think that field goals in the last minute and a half should count. So I don't count them. And that was it. I was a little upset that they upset us with one minute left but whoop-<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_32">di</span>-<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_33">freagin</span>-<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_34">doo</span> it doesn't really matter now does it? The Redskins have been flying <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_35">waaay</span> under the radar so far. ESPN has basically written us off as around a 6-10 team. A 6-10 team. Fer <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_36">reals</span>. Sports Center never talks about us. It's all Vick this and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_37">Favre</span> that and Brady this and Cutler that. GOOD. Ignore us. I cant wait to see your ugly faces when we destroy ALL OF YOU.<br /><br />Breathe Breathe. Phew. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_38">Ok</span>. Now help: What the hell should I do about Brandon Marshall tonight? I have a fantasy draft and he's <span style="font-style: italic;">really </span>pissing me off and stressing me out.

Down 3 flights of stairs and out the side door. Two things suddenly hit me:<br />1) <span style="font-style: italic;">Massive </span>amounts of Sunlight. <span style="font-style: italic;">Phew</span>. It is confirmed that I am not yet a vampire and all is well with the world.<br />2) How beautiful GiGi looks with such bad ass flags on the back windows. <span style="font-style: italic;">Raaawrrrr gurl </span>you so <span style="font-style: italic;">sexxxy</span>.<br />Oh then one more thing hits me:<br />One more thing) I'm late... Dammit.<br />J texts me and says L just got to her office and they're ready and waiting for me to pick them up. Then she adds (unnecessarily if you ask me) that if we miss kickoff it will be all my fault and it will completely ruin L's birthday. So I need to hurry my ass up.<br />Although I love L, very much so, I was less worried with ruining her birthday and more worried with missing kickoff for personal fanatical reasons. I drove like a maniac. Anyone see me on the roads? No I didn't think so... cause I was FLYING.<br /><br />I learned some great things that Thursday. A day in which you learn something is a day well spent... or something whatever. I learned that Baltimore has relocated recently. Yeah, when I was a kid and we (family) went to Orioles games... it took like 3 1/2 hours to get there. Now I knew that was <span style="font-style: italic;">probably </span>due a <span style="font-style: italic;">bit </span>to my mother- the safest driver in the world- and I had also google maped Baltimore earlier and it said it was 45 minutes away to which I said, "BULLSHIT". I may have even coughed when I said that. It's a habit. So I averaged out 3.5 hrs + 50 min divided by 70+ mph times percentage of cars on the road to the 3rd power (# of people in my car) and figured (statistically speaking) Baltimore must be about 2 hrs away. Round down since I'm not driving- I'm flying- 1 1/2 hrs.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">FALSE</span>! Google maps I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. You were right. How did you know? 45 minutes <span style="font-style: italic;">really</span>?!? That's <span style="font-style: italic;">IT</span>?! I had <span style="font-style: italic;">no </span>idea. I had no idea my mother could drive <span style="font-style: italic;">that </span>slow. Oh and 45 minutes was the ride home... it actually did take around 2 hours to get there, Traffic is SUCH a BITCH. Especially when you're dealing with Marylanders. ESPECIALLY when those Marylanders are Ravens fans going to a Ravens vs. Skins game.<br /><br />What else did I learn... hmmm... oh yeah, Baltimore. Sucks.<br /><br />I hate to say "Can you say ghettttooo" when my team hails from DC (which I like to think stands for the "<span style="font-weight: bold;">D</span>efinition of <span style="font-weight: bold;">C</span>lassy" and yes you can RT that) ... but... <span style="font-style: italic;">Can you say GHETTO!??!!</span><br /><br />Oh and evidently spiking your hair w/massive amounts of gel is still totally cool there. I know... <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Bx5Qo4Pil2U/SpWI_fLj8TI/AAAAAAAAAU0/5dFYuc0AvQs/s1600-h/michael_phelps.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 223px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Bx5Qo4Pil2U/SpWI_fLj8TI/AAAAAAAAAU0/5dFYuc0AvQs/s320/michael_phelps.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5374352354619683122" border="0" /></a>It's like an alien world only 45 minutes away. I wonder if Michael Phelps was checking himself out in the mirror, fixin his hair when he crashed his car that night... <span style="font-style: italic;">(picture caption...) That's not water... that's hair gel. Douchey </span><span style="font-style: italic;">Ugly Tools Who Think They're Hot Shit UNITE in B-more!! No Homo.</span><br /><br />Anyways. We get there. We cant find the O lot. The O lot is NOwhere to be found. Signage? Yeah for every lot EXCEPT the O lot. Typical. We miss kickoff. I'm pissed now. Ravens fans hoot and holler at us as we walk to the stadium (we finally found the O lot after asking at least 10 Baltimorons where it was. Long story not interesting) which makes me more pissed. Oh but what IS a little interesting... When we find O lot we also find that the lots have assigned parking spots. ALL the spots are numbered. I cant go find the biggest spot and park in it. I HAVE to park in my spot. I'm not gonna lie I don't remember the number at all. Irrelevant. Yeah that wasn't that interesting. So the game has already started. I'm on a highly focused, fast paced mission to get to our seats asap.<br /><br />I attempt to walk straight into the stadium drinking a can of beer and smoking a cigarette. For some reason when I go somewhere new I forget that though I'm not at home... the rules still apply. I guess I assume other places will be different. "Oh you mean I <span style="font-style: italic;">can't</span> get this Vodka water in a to-go cup?? <span style="font-style: italic;">Why the fuck not</span> I'm on vacation bitch"<br /><br />Something like that. I am stopped by Ravens staff, let's call them bouncers b/c that's what they looked like. Ray Lewis. They were all that size. I must throw out and put out. So I do. Then I realize I have a small bottle (one from a little four pack) of wine in my purse. Awesome! "Miss, I need to look inside your purse" Shit. Baltimore does bag check too. <span style="font-style: italic;">What are the odds?</span> I decide to put these bouncers (actually this was just a normal sized black woman bouncer) to the test. I still don't know <span style="font-style: italic;">how </span>she didn't see the wine bottle. I mean, it was <span style="font-style: italic;">right </span>there. It must have been my amazing distraction skills. Or it may have been my tomahawk. Either way... Ravens security does <span style="font-style: italic;">not </span>compare to Redskins security. Suck it Baltimore.<br /><br />I get through security (I think) and see L and J, "YEAHH LET'S DO IT!"<br />I am stopped suddenly by a big, black bouncer arm, "Miss, I'm going to need to see your... tomahawk? Is that a tomahawk?"<br />"Hell yeah it's a tomahawk! We're Indians!" (make battle cry with mouth and hand while waving arm with tomahawk above my head)<br />Bouncer is clearly entertained and begins inspecting tomahawk. I try to speed up the process...<br />"It's just plastic it ain't g'ona hurt nobody... (bouncer nods)... unless they're askin for it of course" (evil grin)<br />Bouncer laughs assuming I'm kidding (I am not), "Where'd you get that?" Hands it back to me.<br />"Halloween. I stole it from an Indian Chief."<br /><br />And off we go into the wild purple yonder.<br /><br />Our seats are lower endzone. I'm not a huge fan of endzone seats but they were free so... I'm a fan of free. We get there. We're mildly drunk at this point but sober enough to realize that we are sitting <span style="font-style: italic;">right </span>behind the <span style="font-style: italic;">entire </span>Ravens band. Fuck. My. Life.<br /><br />We make fun of them the whole game. Especially the "clappers". They stand in the back of the band; their only job is to clap. <span style="font-style: italic;">SOOO </span>much talent in Baltimore. Excellent clappers. We also make fun of the douchey boys around us and their trashy women. I know, sounds like an amazing time. It was indeed.<br /><br />Till we realized we were losing. We were losing AND we hadn't even gotten so much as a field goal. How did this happen? I pay attention at games. Seriously I'm the most focused chick in the stadium no matter how intoxicated. I didn't like being at another stadium though... I was distracted by all the sucky people around me. They were more interested in heckling us than in paying attention to the game and I never take heckling sitting down. Oh no... I heckle back. And I'm fucking good at it. L is really good at it too. I'm actually really REALLY surprised we didn't get in any fights. Baltimore fans are such pussys.<br /><br />I'm not really going to get into how the team played this game, sorry but so many starters didn't play at all it just seems pointless. I will say that Collins looked good, decent, alright; pretty boring if you ask me though. Colt looked good... I think he had a pick but better to get it outta the way right? He looked good rushing, picked up some good yards there.<br /><br />Ugh, sorry guys from now on I wont wait over two weeks to write about a game... it's a little hard to remember much after this long. Anyways, it wasn't really a great game. It was fun but altogether looked like a scrimmage/practice. But what can I really expect? I mean, that's kind of exactly what preseason is.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Bx5Qo4Pil2U/Spa-2GHCbMI/AAAAAAAAAU8/tql_NXw2Dv0/s1600-h/6135_737078531621_7007036_42331316_4095947_n.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Bx5Qo4Pil2U/Spa-2GHCbMI/AAAAAAAAAU8/tql_NXw2Dv0/s320/6135_737078531621_7007036_42331316_4095947_n.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5374693041875610818" border="0" /></a><br /><br />The game left us feeling like this... >>>>>> I'm not sure what J is doing though. Actually I'm not really sure what any of us are doing... we're a unique group.<br /><br />The Ravens cheerleaders kicked ass though. They're the only cheerleaders in the NFL that stunt. If you don't know what that means, it means they throw girls up in the air and stuff... like competitive cheerleading. I fell in love. They were really good.

Redskins squad? Yes, next year. Ravens? NEVER.<br /><br />I also went to the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Steelers</span> game at Fed Ex last week and it was MUCH better. God it was so much better, not even comparable. I think it's because I didn't wear the necklace I wore to Baltimore (it <span style="font-style: italic;">obviously </span>was bad luck) I will never wear that necklace again.<br /><br />And don't worry, we play the Pats tomorrow and I'm going to that game as well so I'm gonna write about the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Steelers</span> game TODAY.

Here We ComeAHHHHHHHH AHHHHHH YES YES YES IT'S HERRREEE!!!! AHHHH! I'M SO EXITED I'M SO EXCITED! AHHHHHHHHH!<br /><br />In 24 hours I will be happily skipping out of work, changing into shorts, a skins tank top, a jersey, a hat and/or headband and flip flops, putting car window flags on my car, heading to pick up my friends J and L and then... and <span style="font-style: italic;">thennn</span>... WE HEAD TO BALTIMORE TO WATCH THE SKINS TAKE ON THE RAVENS IN THE FIRST PRE-SEASON GAME!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!<br /><br />I cant believe it's finally here! Football season is HERE! No more watching stupid baseball highlights on ESPN! Well... a little bit but I can handle a little bit. I feel like I've been waiting <span style="font-style: italic;">forever </span>for this. Without football a part of me would die every August. I'm a summer baby, a beach girl; I get pretty depressed come winter- I HATE winter. Football keeps me alive through February and then it's just a couple short torturous months counting down to when the warm weather comes back. Thanksgiving and Christmas have NOTHING on football. Once Halloween is over it's all football all the freagin time for me and I LOVE it.<br /><br />I'm lucky enough to have some bad ass friends, both girls and boys, who also are pretty obsessed with football so you can expect some pretty amazing stories of our football outings. I promise they will never disappoint. Tomorrow is L's birthday so you <span style="font-style: italic;">know </span>it's gonna get crazy. So maybe I'll see you in Baltimore tomorrow! If you're going to the game let me know! We're pretty amazing tailgating buddies... we will whoop you in some beer pong. We also love corn hole and shotgunning beers before game time. =) <span style="font-weight: bold;">HTTR</span>!!! I cant even express how pumped I am.

No?? <span style="font-style: italic;">Go wash your mouth out with soap!!</span> Joe Gibbs is a <span style="font-style: italic;">legend</span>; especially here in the DMV area, and he always will be. I have exciting news for Joe Gibbs loyals... he's going to be at <span style="font-weight: bold;">The McLean Bible Church </span><a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.mcleanbible.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=74950">TONIGHT speaking for FREE</a><span style="font-weight: bold;">.</span> If you've ever driven down Route 7 around the Tysons area then you know the church I'm talking about. It's<span style="font-style: italic;"> the big one.</span> Seriously, that place is <span style="font-style: italic;">huge</span>. The size of their parking garages (yes, garages plural) rival the ones at the mall. And our mall is nothing to scoff at. The above link takes you straight to their homepage where you'll read everything you need to know about it but I'll give you a short breakdown here. <span style="font-size:100%;"><br /><br />From the McLean Bible Website: Former Redskins Coach and NASCAR champion <span style="font-weight: bold;">Joe Gibbs </span> will share his testimony of how he discovered the true <span style="font-weight: bold;">“Game Plan For Life”</span> in the message of Jesus Christ. </span><span style="font-size:100%;"><strong style="font-weight: normal;">He'll be speaking live at the Tysons Campus (yes, this church is so big they have "Campuses") and it will also broadcast via satellite to all MBC Campuses on <span style="font-weight: bold;">July 28</span> (tonight) at <span style="font-weight: bold;">7:30 pm</span>.</strong> He will sign copies of his new book “Game Plan For Life” at the Tysons Campus from 6:15 – 7:15 pm and pre-signed books will be available for purchase at each campus location.<br /><br />And what would a Joe Gibbs event be without tailgating? Show up early with $5 cash and enjoy family friendly (I'm guessing that means 'sans alcohol'.... I mean, it <span style="font-style: italic;">is </span>a church people) tailgating courtesy of... wait for it... <span style="font-weight: bold;">Red Hot and Blue BBQ.</span> YUM. Carpooling is highly encouraged and since the event is totally open to the public, MBC is asking everyone planning on attending to please register in advance (do it now) so they know how many people to expect. <a href="http://www.mcleanbible.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=74950">Registration links are here (the same link as before). </a><br /><br />I'm just guessing, but (pardon my French) I'd say to expect a <span style="font-style: italic;">clusterduck </span>of people. Clusterduck isn't really a word, not even in french, but it would just feel wrong to curse while writing about a church event. Despite what others say, I <span style="font-style: italic;">do </span>have a conscience. I also used to be a church-goin gal and plan to one day soon get back into the Sunday morning service routine. True story.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">But wait.</span>.. <span style="font-style: italic;">that's not all.</span> No no no. When Joe Gibbs does anything he does it big or he goes home. In true Joe fashion (before 2007 anyways) he's doin it big. <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/discussion/2009/07/24/DI2009072401439.html">Also today, Joe's going to </a></span><a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/discussion/2009/07/24/DI2009072401439.html">be online</a><b><a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/discussion/2009/07/24/DI2009072401439.html"> </a>starting at 2:15 p.m. ET</b> taking your questions and comments about his years as Redskins head coach, NASCAR (vroom vroom) and his new book, the previously mentioned <span style="font-style: italic;">Game Plan For Life.</span><span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span>Have any questions or comments for Coach Gibbs? (He'll always be Coach Gibbs to me) You can submit them before or during the online discussion<span style="font-weight: bold;">. <a href="http://discuss.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/zforum/content/submit_sports27.htm">Here's the link to submit questions or comments courtesy of The Washington Post. </a><br /><br /></span>Pretty exciting day in Washington for Coach Gibbs fans eh?<span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span>I wonder how much he's going to talk about NASCAR...<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /><br /></span>Moving on. So yesterday I heard (key word <span style="font-style: italic;">heard</span>) through a couple of usually very reliable sources that Michael Vick's been prowling around Northern Virginia; specifically the Ashburn/Loudoun County area and then apparently spotted later on in the day in Lansdowne. "But <span style="font-style: italic;">why</span>?! What does it all <span style="font-style: italic;">mean</span>?!" I had the same reaction at first. Then I realized it means absolutely nothing. <a href="http://voices.washingtonpost.com/redskinsinsider/jason-reid/vick-skins-inevitably-a-hot-to.html">Vick's been reinstated; now he just needs a team. </a>Obviously he's shopping around for one. So far, everything I've read (and trust me, I've been reading a lot and talking to a lot of people) is saying '<a href="http://voices.washingtonpost.com/redskinsinsider/jason-reid/cerrato-says-no-on-vick.html">no Vick in Redskins future</a>'. Repeat:<a href="http://blog.redskins.com/2009/07/28/still-hearing-that-michael-vick-is-not-coming-here/"> No Vick in Redskins Future. </a>I hope this decision sticks and it has nothing to do with Vick personally or even his QB abilities; it has everything to do with Jason Campbell. JC's been through enough this off-season wouldn't you say? Toying with the idea of signing Vick would just be another slap in the face and seriously our QB deserves more respect than that. A <span style="font-style: italic;">lot </span>more respect.<br /><br />In other Michael Vick news, he's got former Colts Head Coach <a href="http://www.indystar.com/article/20090728/SPORTS03/907280315/1058/SPORTS03/Dungy+in+Vick+s+corner">Tony Dungy in his corner.</a> Dungy frequently (sometimes, occasionally, a couple times... I dunno) visited Vick while he was in jail and has been keeping up with him with visits and phone calls since his release. Dungy wholeheartedly believes that the former Falcon is on the right track, is focused on turning his life around and is ready re-start his NFL career. Dungy not only supports Vick's reinstatement, he's also become a mentor and advisor for Vick while he goes through this transitional stage in his life.<br /><br />Even though I'm not a fan of the Colts, I always liked Coach Dungy... even though I <span style="font-style: italic;">totally </span>expected him to have a massive heart attack or stroke after every missed Colts catch and every call from the refs that he didn't agree with. Didn't you?! He got into the games more than <span style="font-style: italic;">any</span> coach I've ever watched. He was so <span style="font-style: italic;">passionate</span>. I was sad to see him go and I'm thrilled that he's helping out Michael Vick. Hurray for positive influences! Check out Dungy's personal blog/diary <a href="http://allprodad.com/dungy/?p=336">here for more info!</a><br /><br />That's it for now. Obviously that isn't the <span style="font-style: italic;">only </span>word on the street at the moment but I gotta get this posted so y'all can log in for the Joe Gibbs Q & A at 2:15. I wouldn't want you to miss it.

I''m gonna hit you with the latest news, as well as the latest "news", and (of course) share a few of my own thoughts on the matter. This week has been chock <span style="font-style: italic;">full </span>of rumors, reports, updates, accusations and surprises relating to the NFL as well as the NCAA. Well, let's get to it shall we?<br /><br /><ul><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Clinton <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Portis</span></span> has been spotted <a href="http://corner.bigblueinteractive.com/index.php?mode=2&thread=340667">sporting a new look</a>. I'm actually a couple weeks late on this bit of "news" but... better late than never right? Personal opinion: He can sport whatever look he wants- He's Clinton <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">freagin</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Portis</span>. He can wear girl clothes and a thong <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">tha</span> thong thong thong for all I care, he's still gonna rush all over you come Sunday (or Monday)<span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-style: italic;">. </span><span style="font-weight: bold;">Say </span></span><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">somethin</span></span>. (<span style="font-style: italic;">Say </span><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">somethin</span> should be read in a confrontational ghetto voice to get the effect I was going for)</li></ul><ul><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Chris Cooley</span> is back from his trip and <a href="http://chriscooley47.blogspot.com/2009/07/300-offseason-workout.html">has started training to go to war. </a><span style="font-weight: bold;">THIS. IS. DC!</span> (Think: This. Is. Sparta.) I admire his approach. The Redskins <span style="font-style: italic;">are </span>going to war<span style="font-style: italic;"></span>: With the Giants, the Eagles, the Cowboys, the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Steelers</span>, the Chargers, the Falcons, etc. <span style="font-style: italic;">Bring it on bitches</span>. We will <span style="font-style: italic;">destroy </span>you.<br /></li></ul><ul><li>The QB that looks disturbingly like an ogre (aka <span style="font-weight: bold;">Ben <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Roethlisberger</span></span>) and led his team, the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">Steelers</span>, to a <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">Superbowl</span> win last year has been <a href="http://withleather.uproxx.com/2009/07/the-ben-says-he-didnt-do-that">accused of raping some money-hungry <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">slutbucket</span>. </a>Wait, no, my mistake; he's been accused of raping an innocent young woman. Side note: I wasn't aware until now that innocent young women even <span style="font-style: italic;">existed </span>anymore. It's amazing, you really do learn something new <span style="font-style: italic;">every </span>day. Oh and for the record- He didn't do it. <span style="font-style: italic;">Shocker</span>. Obviously he's gonna say he didn't do it. Do <span style="font-style: italic;">I </span>think he did it? Well, one would <span style="font-style: italic;">hope </span>that an NFL quarterback coming off a <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">Superbowl</span> win would have more sense than to commit such a crime. However, he <span style="font-style: italic;">does </span>look like an ogre... and ogre's aren't known for their smarts. In fact, I believe they're known for the opposite. Awesome NFL QB or not; that kid is just <span style="font-style: italic;">not </span>attractive in any way, shape or form. Honestly I have no idea if he did it or not. No one really does. All I know is that the <span style="font-style: italic;">last </span>place I would want to be is in a hotel room (or anywhere for that matter) all alone with a horny Big Ben. I shudder at the thought. </li></ul><ul><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Michael Vick</span> is a free man awaiting NFL reinstatement. What do straight men do after getting off house arrest? <a href="http://withleather.uproxx.com/2009/07/vick-is-enjoying-freedom">They hit up the local strip club, DUH.</a> I find nothing wrong with this. Seriously. If you've never been to a strip club and you're of age I highly recommend you go check one out b/c they're a lot of fun; even for a straight girl. Don't go to a sketchy one though. Keep it classy. People need to relax and cut this man some slack. I mean, he did his time, he paid out the ass, he complied with all the rules of his house arrest and we <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">didn</span>'t even hear him complain about it. What's a guy <span style="font-style: italic;">supposed </span>to do now? Huh? What's he gotta do to play some <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">freagin</span> football. Vick was <span style="font-style: italic;">born </span>to play football. He's not running for president of the United States or anything. I don't see what the huge fuss is about. If your response is something along the lines of, "He's a dog killer with no remorse", then I recommend you go live in or around Atlanta, Georgia for a few years. Absorb the culture down there. <span style="font-style: italic;">Then </span>you can come back north and say whatever you wanna say about Vick. But if you've never lived in the south, you need to shut your mouth b/c you don't know what you're talking about. I'm not pro-dog fighting or anything, but I do understand where he's coming from. It's like bull fighting in Spain. They don't think much of it down south from my experience. It's just what they do. I personally feel sorry for Michael Vick and don't think he deserved the shit storm that rained down on him. If you don't agree with me that's fine; most of my friends don't either.</li></ul><ul><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Tim <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">Tebow</span></span> is still <a href="http://withleather.uproxx.com/2009/07/tebow-still-has-his-v-card">the proud owner of his V-card. </a>Making women everywhere ready and eager to jump his bones. I listened to part of his interview this morning on the radio and I totally believe him. He's a conservative, he's anti-abortion and he's upfront about his beliefs. My mom would <span style="font-style: italic;">love </span>him. Good for him. I knew I liked him, even though he <span style="font-style: italic;">is </span>a gator (and Auburn Tigers do <span style="font-style: italic;">not </span>like Florida Gators). America needs more guys like Tim <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">Tebow</span>. He's hot, he's talented, he's driven, he's smart, he's saving himself AND he's not ashamed of it. Why <span style="font-style: italic;">would </span>you be ashamed of it? Why are people making this out to be some huge deal? I find it admirable that he doesn't feel the need to sleep with every <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">PYT</span> that comes his way. Tim <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17">Tebow</span> could get <span style="font-style: italic;">any </span>woman. Snaps to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18">Tebow</span> for rising above and showing that not all guys are horny little assholes. I hope I'm lucky enough to meet a guy just like him one day. Seeing as how most guys really <span style="font-style: italic;">are </span>horny little assholes... the chances of this happening are probably slim to none. Sigh. <span style="font-style: italic;">This </span>is why I'm single. Boys take notes. You could learn a thing or two from <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19">TT</span>.<br /></li></ul><ul><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Erin Andrews</span> evidently has <a href="http://www.sportsbybrooks.com/bully-cornered-blogs-msm-ganging-up-on-espn-25234">a video all over the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20">Internet</span> of her in her hotel room </a>undressing or checking herself out or slapping her own ass or something. Who knows who recorded the video. And for the record can I just say: <span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Who cares?!? </span>Not I. Just give me my sports news and nobody gets hurt. What she does in her hotel room when tom's are peeping is of no interest to me. I know you horny little asshole boys are probably <span style="font-style: italic;">very</span> interested to which I say: <span style="font-weight: bold;">GET A LIFE.</span> Leave the girl alone before you drive her to anorexia again. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_21">Sheesh</span>.<br /></li></ul><ul><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">The University of Georgia</span> sucks even more in my book now. Why? Because everyone knows that ugly quarterbacks are never as good as hot quarterbacks. Purely opinion obviously but still based on truth. Just look at the whole picture. You would have to agree that Tom Brady would not be as popular if he was ugly. I mean that's basically a fact. He might have been <span style="font-style: italic;">as good</span> but he never would have been as popular. Big Ben is ugly. Fact. Big Ben's team just won the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_22">Superbowl</span>. Fact. Now, have you seen Ben in any clothing advertisements? Commercials? In Magazines? Tabloids? No, you haven't. Why? Because he's ugly and no one wants to look at him. The quarterback position has more to it than just making plays. The QB represents the team and/or University. I want my <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_23">QB</span> to be easy on the eyes <span style="font-style: italic;">and </span>dominate on the field. I want the total package. Unfortunately for <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_24">UGA</span>... <a href="http://today.sportingnews.com/sportingnewstoday/20090723/?pg=3&pm=1&u1=friend">their <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_25">quarterback</span> is just plain <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_26">fugly</span>.</a> So I just wanted them to know... that the rest of the SEC is laughing at you. Ha. Ha. Ha. Y'all really are <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_27">dawgs</span>. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Woof. </span><br /></li></ul>Frankiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16294593292906211413noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7036533069654787802.post-43746594455074496022009-07-23T13:22:00.000-07:002009-07-23T14:05:30.334-07:00Mister Irrelevant: Very RelevantIf I could "<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">ReTweet</span>" this I'd be all over it. I cant though. This isn't Twitter; it's a blog. <a href="http://misterirrelevant.com/">Mister Irrelevant </a>is one of my favorite sports <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">bloggers</span> and he hits the nail right on the head this time. <a href="http://misterirrelevant.com/index.php/2009/07/17/for-those-who-doubt-jason-campbell/">For Those Who Doubt Jason Campbell</a> is his post from July 17. Not <span style="font-style: italic;">only </span>do I recommend you click on the link and read his post; I'll even go as far to say that if you don't go check it out- you can just forget about being friends because we are <span style="font-style: italic;">so over</span>. Need more incentive? Well, honestly I'm offended but you probably don't even care. Here, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">jerkface</span>: This should be all the incentive you need...<br /><br /><object height="364" width="445"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/1pGVLK0c6gE&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b&border=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/1pGVLK0c6gE&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="364" width="445"></embed></object><br /><br />I remember exactly what I was doing when Jason threw that amazing pass and we came back to beat the Saints. Unfortunately I was not watching from the stands like I normally would be doing. I <span style="font-style: italic;">wanted </span>to be, more than <span style="font-style: italic;">anything </span>I wanted to be there but I was at the beach in North Carolina with my family. When this happened I was standing on the beach on my cell phone with my friend Sam and he was giving me play-by-play updates on the game. Thank God for Sam, my Redskins game announcer. It was like listening to the radio. When we scored and pulled ahead of the Saints I was cheering and freaking out on the beach while my brother screamed ,"<span style="font-style: italic;">What</span>!? What's going on?!? Are we winning???!!" The rest of my family (and the beach) just stared with no idea what was going on or what on earth I was doing. I feel like I was there at that game. I could see the throw and TD in my head. I could see the team and stands celebrating after the game too. It's <span style="font-style: italic;">so </span>much better watching it for real though. What a beautiful play. What a great game. What a crucial win for us.<br /><br />In conclusion: <span style="font-style: italic;">Believe </span>in Jason Campbell. I can <span style="font-style: italic;">feel </span>his presence here in Washington. I hear the haters and I can see the hope in the air. The pressure is mounting. In a few weeks it'll be here. He's ready. He's going to bust out and <span style="font-style: italic;">own </span>the field this year. Everything is falling into place. People are saying that this is his year but they have <span style="font-style: italic;">no idea</span> what he's about to do or what he's capable of. He's going to take everyone by surprise. The haters will <span style="font-style: italic;">more </span>than eat their words. The believers will be in wide-eyed shock. Jason's going to bring consistency to the Redskins this year: Consistent excellence. This is not just me talking. I <span style="font-style: italic;">know </span>these things.

Welcome To DC Jeremy JarmonInstead of adding depth to the O-line in an effort to put more points on the board, the redskins seem to be taking a different approach this off-season. The exact opposite approach actually: Leave the O-line alone, build a defense that resembles a brick wall. I would like to<a href="http://www.hogshaven.com/2009/7/20/955341/new-washington-redskins-de-jeremy"> welcome Jeremy Jarmon to DC </a>at this time; you made the right decision kid. Also at this time I would like to say that although the Skins have caught a lot of slack for this approach to team-building the past couple of months, I think it's absolutely<span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"> </span><span style="font-weight: bold;">brilliant</span><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">.</span><br /><br />Despite what critics say, our O-line is not bad. We've got a lot of clutch players as well as some players who may become clutch players in the future. Jason Campbell is one of those possible future play makers. Being an Auburn Alum, I'd like to point out at this time that Jason is a rookie in the realm of having an unchanging offensive system. The West Coast system the Skins are using now is similar to the system the 2004 Auburn Tigers football team utilized. If you are unfamiliar with how Jason played under this system... let me familiarize you for a minute...<br /><br /><object height="364" width="445"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/MVkkGj15vbc&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b&border=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/MVkkGj15vbc&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="364" width="445"></embed></object><br /><br />I guess I could have just given you some 2004 strictly Jason Highlights but the War Eagle spirit runs deep in my veins and that video gives me chills every time I watch it. Can you blame me for wanting to share this with the world? 1:18 in the video is my favorite. Don't ever say Jason Campbell cant throw deep because you obviously have no idea what you're talking about. Jason currently holds the record for the longest touchdown completion in Auburn football history; an 87 yard pass to Silas Daniels in 2004 against Louisiana Tech University. I was there. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Campbell">Look it up.</a><br /><br />In 2004 Jason led Auburn to an undefeated season, an SEC championship and ultimately ended up (cough) second (cough) in the nation after #1 USC destroyed #2 Oklahoma 55-19 in the Orange Bowl. Just thinking about that game makes me want to kill a kitten. #3 Auburn beat #8 Virginia Tech in the Sugar Bowl that year and then... that was it. The season came to an end and Auburn fans everywhere were left with a bitter "what if" mentality which haunts me to this day. I'm sure it's not hard to tell what my feelings on the BCS are; or my feelings towards USC for that matter. Auburn football has never been the same and that doesn't help my bitterness. They do, however, still manage to make bad ass pre-game videos. Observe:<br /><br /><object height="364" width="445"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/NheZ96dTrdI&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b&border=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/NheZ96dTrdI&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="364" width="445"></embed></object><br /><br />Sigh. Auburn I will love you forever. Anyways, if <span style="font-style: italic;">I'm</span> still feeling shafted from that year I'm willing to bet Jason is too. If I were him I'd be hungry for success and anxious to prove myself. I'm not really worried about Jason this year and it would seem, based on their recent actions, that Snyder, Cerrato and Zorn aren't either. I'm ignoring the fact that they were crushing on Jay Cutler and Mark Sanchez for a hot minute; I think they just enjoy the drama. I also think they have a fetish with young, hot quarterbacks. <a href="http://coltbrennan5.com/">Can you blame them?</a><br /><br />Despite my feelings towards Snyder and Cerrato (love Zorn), building up our defense like this while we wait for Campbell to adjust and blossom, if you will, is pure genius. Jarmon is young; he's <span style="font-style: italic;">really </span>young. He's a big boy; 6'3" 277 lbs at the moment. He also seems to have a good head on his shoulders. "What are you talking about!?" You say, "He failed his drug test and was kicked off his college team! He's a thug at best!" You, my friend, fail at life if this is your opinion.<br /><br />Kentucky has their rules, they obviously stick to them and that's fine. This isn't a case of hard drugs or marijuana use though. He was using a diuretic supplement that he probably got at GNC (the salesmen there are <span style="font-style: italic;">good</span>. They'll get you to buy stuff you never knew you always needed) while recovering from a shoulder injury. There's a lot of responsibility that goes along with playing NCAA division I-A football but there is also a lot of pressure and I think we forget how young these players really are. I'm not gonna get into what I was doing my junior year in college because it's not really important; but I went to a big southern football university, had classes with some players, saw them out on the town at night, etc. Let me tell you that it doesn't matter how good they are on the field, some of them are just plain <span style="font-style: italic;">dumb </span>off the field. So trust me when I say that Jarmon is no dummy. <a href="http://www.hogshaven.com/2009/7/20/955341/new-washington-redskins-de-jeremy">Listen to the interview</a>.<br /><br />Now, don't you agree that he sounds articulate and level-headed? He sounds ready. He already has his degree in political science from UK and is focused on his future. He likes political science and football... is there any better place in the world for those two things than DC? He's a perfect fit.<br /><br />How long have I been rambling? 20 minutes... give or take? Sheesh. I had a point. I may have already made it but I need a conclusion so here ya go. The Redskins are building an impenetrable defense. Though I doubt Jarmon will start for the Skins this year, the pick will not be a loss by any means. He'll be practicing with the team, watching and learning from the best, growing, absorbing information and hell, who knows? If it's a good fit he may just start. If not, there's always next year and the years ahead. He <span style="font-style: italic;">wants </span>to play for Washington and maybe that's why I'm so partial to him. I <span style="font-style: italic;">love </span>when players want to be a Redskin instead of, say,<a href="http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/Haynesworth-Tampa-offered-more.html"> a Tampa Bay Buc or something</a>: It's proof for me that we're building a powerhouse team here in Washington, and that excites the hell outta me.<br /><br /><a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/espnmag/story?section=magazine&id=3778501">When a team has an impenetrable defense they win football games.</a> <span style="font-weight: bold;">It's a fact</span>; an undeniable truth. <a href="http://www.coldhardfootballfacts.com/Article.php?Page=1343">It doesn't even really matter if your offense is sub-par:</a> When other teams cannot score against you, well, then they simply cant beat you. The 2000 Ravens team and 2008 Steelers team are just a couple of examples. You get the idea. I'm sick of hearing people complain about our O-line and bitching about our team management. We all want the same things: We want to win, we want to dominate, we want respect, we want other teams to fear us, and we want another Superbowl win. Right now for the Redskins, I can think of no better approach than to create a crazy awesome defense. It takes some pressure off our offense, and maybe without all that added stress they'll actually excel like I know they can! It's perfect. <span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Do </span><span style="font-weight: bold;">the damn thang defense.</span> <span style="font-style: italic;">God </span>I can't wait for football season!Frankiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16294593292906211413noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7036533069654787802.post-75023465417501200022009-07-14T11:54:00.000-07:002009-07-14T14:25:21.475-07:00Getting Dumped + Getting Naked + Getting Anorexic = Football "News"By, "News", I really mean, "Crap to Entertain the Masses", but I must admit- I'm entertained.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">First on the list:</span><br /><br /><a href="http://withleather.uproxx.com/2009/07/tony-romo-and-jessica-simpson-broke-up-2"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Tony <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Romo</span> dumped Jessica Simpson. </span></a><br />We all saw it coming didn't we?

Now I'm not a <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Romo</span> fan by <span style="font-style: italic;">any </span>means (unless he's on my fantasy team) so I honestly couldn't care less about his personal life. But in case you were wondering, in my <span style="font-style: italic;">expert </span>opinion, Jessica is way too hot for him- although not so much recently... that girl needs to put down the fork. However, even a chubby Jessica Simpson is pretty good for a guy who looks like Dopey from the seven dwarfs + a few feet of height. Now, see? <span style="font-style: italic;">Obviously </span>I couldn't care less. Anyways, moving on, their <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">relationship</span> has been the focus of headlines for years now and I'm thrilled to pieces that he'll no longer be on the cover of US Weekly and People because of Jessica drama.

I didn't time it and there isn't a timer on the video so I'm not sure exactly how long it is but I had to stand up and stretch when it was over so... yeah, it's lengthy.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Totally </span>worth it though. If Colt Brennan can take time away from his vacation (aka off-shore training) in Hawaii to answer all these questions; well I think we should listen to his answers. He gives a really good interview with honest, unscripted answers. <a href="http://www.honoluluadvertiser.com/article/99999999/MOGULUS03/90622073&Ref=AR&template=mogulus">Here's the link again, in case you missed it. </a><br /><br />Did I mention that these questions are being sent in by the fans? So if you missed your chance to ask Colt something, there's a good chance someone else asked it for you. He answers around 100 questions (total guess out of nowhere) it's probably more than that (no clue).<br /><br />Some of what you'll learn about Colt from the interview includes (but is definitely not limited to) topics such as:<br /><br />-His singing and dancing ability<br />-His feelings towards baseball<br />-What he did for the 4<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">th</span> of July<br />-The status of his much talked about love life<br />-His favorite surf spot in Hawaii<br />-His feelings towards Jason Campbell, Coach Zorn, Santana Moss, etc.<br />-How he feels about living in Northern Virginia<br />-How the recovery from his hip surgery is going<br />-His feelings on the Redskins Rivalries<br />and much much much more.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">Personal favorite parts- </span><br /><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">-His use of the "word" <span style="font-weight: bold;">funnest</span>. </span><br /><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">-When he says something like, "<span style="font-weight: bold;">I just wanna go outside and play!</span>" </span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Bx5Qo4Pil2U/SlfFDsgvlSI/AAAAAAAAAUU/rwiuG2DaM0s/s1600-h/coltb3-1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 226px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Bx5Qo4Pil2U/SlfFDsgvlSI/AAAAAAAAAUU/rwiuG2DaM0s/s320/coltb3-1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356966949059269922" border="0" /></a>Frankiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16294593292906211413noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7036533069654787802.post-30186075829626759802009-07-08T11:31:00.000-07:002009-07-15T06:24:21.882-07:00The T.O.

Rivalries are a funny thing aren't they? Being a Skins fan I naturally detest all things Dallas. This slightly taints my view of their players though. I <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">wholeheartedly</span> believed that I hated T.O. due to his cocky arrogance, for his blatant disregard to the "no I in team" and for the way he placed the blame on his teammates when he didn't perform well. When he was on the market for a new team, at first, I wanted to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">vom</span> at the slightest thought or mention of him ever becoming a Redskin. "T.O. is a cancer" I'd say, "If he comes to the Skins I'll riot in protest! Dan Snyder better watch his back. I cannot and will not be held responsible for what I most certainly <span style="font-style: italic;">will </span>do to him." T.O.'s temporary <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">unemployment</span> caused <span style="font-style: italic;">extreme </span>stress in my life. One team was gonna get cancer and I lived in fear that it would be the Skins. For reasons I cant explain, I was slightly surprised when he signed with Buffalo; but also relieved. Let him rot in upstate New York, I thought. Enjoy the <span style="font-style: italic;">winter</span>. And with that, the T.O. drama ended. Until...<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Superstars aired on TV. </span><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Bx5Qo4Pil2U/SlZR6jSnJvI/AAAAAAAAATs/UtlpNniSlr0/s1600-h/terrell-owens.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 224px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Bx5Qo4Pil2U/SlZR6jSnJvI/AAAAAAAAATs/UtlpNniSlr0/s320/terrell-owens.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356558873151350514" border="0" /></a>I saw a preview and was immediately interested in the show for one reason and one reason only: Seeing T.O. in a light other than football. I was curious about him. The Dallas hatred had actually worn off and I was eager to see the other sides of Terrell Owens. I was hooked after one episode. I began to understand the cockiness. He's competitive to the core: He wants to win. He <span style="font-style: italic;">has </span>to win. He's an outstanding athlete. That's an <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">understatement</span>... He's black Superman.<br /><br />After episodes two and three I had to admit... I was pretty much in love with this guy. He's an equal opportunity shit-talker. He understands that he wont always win but he hates it and will always think that he should have won because he believes that he's the best. I actually admire this attitude. He's so passionate about his sport that he doesn't worry or care about other people and their feelings because they don't matter. He wants the ball, he wants to score, he wants to win- that's his only focus. He <span style="font-style: italic;">probably </span>shouldn't have chosen a <span style="font-style: italic;">team </span>sport to go pro in but <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">c'est</span> la vie. If everyone in the NFL had the same intensity as T.O., I think the sport would be better off. Just my opinion. But can you <span style="font-style: italic;">imagine</span>?! I can. And it's awesome.<br /><br />So I'm going through Twitter updates yesterday and <span style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">ProFootballTalk</span></span> had a recent update that read like this, <span style="font-weight: bold;">""The T.O. Show" Is Coming Soon http://tinyurl.com/mhr7vp #NFL" 10:46 AM Jul 7<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">th</span> from <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">API</span>.</span> (You should follow them if you're on Twitter) My jaw dropped. I clicked the link. Here it is again because I want you all to watch the trailer <span style="font-style: italic;">that </span>much:<br /><br /><a href="http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2009/07/07/the-to-show-is-coming-soon/">http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2009/07/07/the-to-show-is-coming-soon/</a><br /><br />I watched the whole trailer and was excited to learn that T.O. is indeed human. News to me. He cries... <span style="font-style: italic;">whoa</span>. Just watch the trailer. The show premieres July 20<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">th</span> on <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">VH</span>1. You know I'll be watching.<br /><br />All it took was a little "reality" television and no Dallas affiliation to get me to appreciate T.O. and now I have a totally new game plan. T.O. plays for the Bills this year and puts up ridiculous numbers. Maybe he even learns how to be a little respectful towards his coaches and fellow teammates since football's so crucially team oriented. That would be nice: Respect and Ridiculous numbers. The Bills need more help than ridiculous numbers though (especially with the future of the team so up in the air right now... Toronto??... <span style="font-style: italic;"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">Realllly</span></span>?!?) Anyways, so at the end of the season he hunts again for a new team. He has to be careful though; he's going through football teams faster than fire spreads in Southern California. The NFL is already sick of it but I feel like this time they'll understand. One last time- one last team. A team with extreme potential. It has to be <span style="font-style: italic;">the </span>team. A team that could use one last piece (T.O.) of the puzzle (a balanced offense/defense) to become whole. With T.O. this team will become a perfect, unbeatable football machine bound for Superbowl glory. The team I'm talking about is obviously the Redskins and yes,<span style="font-weight: bold;"> I'm serious. </span><br /><br />It's perfect. Terrell was a Cowboy and if you watched the trailer you saw that he's blatantly bitter towards them. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Welcome to DC; we shoot Cowboys with their own guns.</span> I think he'd love it here. I think he would excel here. I think he would have excellent chemistry with the rest of the team. I'm gonna say it-- He needs a big, rich team in which the players are pretty ghetto. We are that. Indeed. Except for Jason Campbell; that boy is <span style="font-style: italic;">white</span>. He's whiter than Colt Brennan. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">Ok</span>, bad example, Colt's actually black on the inside... He's whiter than Todd Collins. Nailed it. Jason Campbell would be a great quarterback for Terrell. A calm, strong, drama-free QB. Not that other people don't bring drama <span style="font-style: italic;">to </span>him but he handles it differently than Tony <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">Romo</span>. He doesn't let it get to him and he doesn't feed the media anything extra. He doesn't have any ego issues and he doesn't have a last name that rhymes with Homo. That last part doesn't really matter I guess but I felt like it was important to add for personal reasons.<br /><br />Fun tidbit before I get into it more: T.O. was also a <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">Philadelphia</span> Eagle for a couple years. He has <span style="font-weight: bold;">NFC East Revenge</span> written <span style="font-style: italic;">all over </span>him. His first year as an Eagle they made it to the Superbowl only to be shutdown by the almighty Patriots. Another factoid: The Eagles have NEVER won a Superbowl. And one last fun fact: The last Superbowl that the Redskins won was in '92... Superbowl XXVI. The Redskins defeated none other than (dun dun <span style="font-style: italic;"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">dunnn</span></span>) The Buffalo Bills. 37-24. Pretty cool huh? <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">Ok</span>, back to Campbell...<br /><br />This is <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">Campbells</span> make or break year. I believe he'll make it and make you go "<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17">Ohhhh</span>!" but should he <span style="font-style: italic;">not </span>make it I have more than enough faith in our backup <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18">QBs</span>. Chase Daniel and Colt Brennan both have quick releases and are good in the pocket. They also have easy going <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19">personalities</span> are easy to get along with. They're good people on and off the field and that's important. I'm <span style="font-style: italic;">really </span>anxious to see Colt perform this <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20">pre</span>-season. I'm a big fan of the sidearm throw and his split second decision-making skills. That kid can scramble. He also had hip surgery in the off season and I've heard he's recovered nicely. So Campbell or Colt are both excellent QB options (I'm biased towards them so I'm not considering others).<br /><br />Other teams would not be able to stop us. You cant drop back and double or triple up on T.O. when you have Santana Moss or Devin Thomas (he WILL be great) in there eager and ready to catch the ball and do a TD dance! Not to mention <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_21">Antwaan</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_22">Randle</span> El and Malcolm Kelly (who will also be great). What about Clinton <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_23">Portis</span>, Chris Cooley, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_24">Ladell</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_25">Betts</span> and Rock Cartwright? Ya gonna leave <span style="font-style: italic;">them </span>wide open to take the ball and run?!? Because they <span style="font-style: italic;">will</span>. Especially Cooley and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_26">Portis</span>; they are get-that-ball-and-go-go-go machines (as long as (pray) <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_27">Portis</span> stays healthy. Please stay healthy <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_28">Portis</span>. Please GOD stay healthy. Amen). <span style="font-style: italic;">And what about Mike Sellers!?!!? </span><br /><br /><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_29">Ok</span>, I think you get my drift. Offense would be stacked. With the signing of Albert Haynesworth (BEAST!) and Brian Orakpo this year, defense is gonna be <span style="font-style: italic;">ridiculous</span>. <span style="font-style: italic;">Steelers </span>ridiculous. It excites me just thinking about it. Now let's get real. The Redskins have been unreliable in the past; <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_30">they're inconsistent</span> and just doggone frustrating for fans bleeding burgundy and gold year round. I hope I'm not being irrational though when I say that I believe in this team. This isn't just a make or break year for Jason; with our average O-Line age in the 30's... 2009 is a make or break year for this Redskins unit as a whole. Not to mention Coach Zorn (What's the <span style="font-style: italic;">opposite </span>of Hip Hip Hurray?)<span style="font-style: italic;"><br /><br />Sure </span>we could trade some players, cut some players over the "ideal" NFL age, draft some newbies and pick up some free agents and they'd still be the Redskins but... although I will <span style="font-style: italic;">always </span><span style="font-weight: bold;">love </span>the Redskins... it just wouldn't seem right if say, Chris Cooley wasn't our TE. Ya know? I'd feel abandoned and empty if he were to be traded to the Broncos or something. I'd cry every single game. Maybe every day. Seriously. After all these years I haven't just been cheering on the Redskins as a whole, I've been cheering on the players as individuals. I was <span style="font-style: italic;">so </span>sad when they let Marcus Washington go this year. Sad AND mad. Marcus was the man; the all around <span style="font-style: italic;">man</span>. <span style="font-style: italic;">AND </span>he was an Auburn Tiger Alum! I met him at a bar once and not <span style="font-style: italic;">only </span>is he adorable as hell but he's also the nicest guy. I just happened to be wearing an Auburn sweatshirt at the time and he came up and gave me an <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_31">enthusiastic</span>, "War Eagle!" (it's our battle cry). Top ten moments of my life right there. <tear>. War Damn Eagle Marcus.<br /><br />Granted, these players aren't my close, personal friends (by any means <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_32">unfortunately</span>) but in my own little world they're like family. We're a big, happy, football loving Redskins family. I've probably said that before; and it sounds just as corny this time. But if you're a fan of any NFL team or even college for that matter I'm sure you know what it's like. Imagine if Tim <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_33">Tebow</span> decided this year to go to the University of Georgia and play for them. Impossible... but just <span style="font-style: italic;">imagine</span>. People would get effing <span style="font-style: italic;">killed </span>because of it. Literally. Southern college football fans are <span style="font-style: italic;">insane </span>(insanely awesome that is).<br /><br />But I digress. I digress a lot. Back to point C: The Redskins will make it this year: Period. We have to and we can; therefor we will. It's a big deal. Back to point B: T.O. will see how far we've come and want to play with/for us. He'll <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_34">understandably</span> want to get the hell out of Buffalo (or Toronto or wherever) and he would shine in a city like DC. Just look at Alexander <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_35">Ovechkin</span>! Alex is intense like a category 5 hurricane. He celebrates after he makes incredible goals and many people would call his celebration tactics (like T.O.'s) <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_36">controversial</span> and <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_37">disrespectful</span>: Some people <span style="font-style: italic;">really </span>don't like it (haters). But here in DC... We love us some Great 8; he's one hell of a <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_38">SuperStar</span>. He is <span style="font-style: italic;">it</span>. We know he's just having fun out there. Leave em alone! Let em play! He's awesome! He <span style="font-style: italic;">even </span>got the keys to the city. Does that happen often?? Answer: Big No. He's DC royalty. T.O. would revel in this city. If he's smart (which he is) he should take a tip from <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_39">Ovie</span> and practice being a little humble off the field. Just try it out. Not only is it good for your soul but it'll be good for your bank account. Women think it's hot too. I mean he's already hot but... anyways.<br /><br />Now full circle back to point A: Watch The T.O. Show. Watch it even if every ounce of you hates him. Whether you like it or not, I'm pretty certain (like 98%) he'll grow on you. I'm sorry but he will; unless you suck at life. In which case you should probably crack open a beer, chill the eff out and stop being such a hater. Also, please don't move out of Philly or Pittsburgh. Just stay put. You belong there.<br /><br /></tear><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"><tear>I could be wrong about Terrell Owens. I could be wrong about the Skins this year.

I love you.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Bx5Qo4Pil2U/Sjl9aZGHaII/AAAAAAAAATc/L5U0BnKgU-Y/s1600-h/DB.brandon_marshall.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 259px; height: 219px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Bx5Qo4Pil2U/Sjl9aZGHaII/AAAAAAAAATc/L5U0BnKgU-Y/s320/DB.brandon_marshall.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348443924845783170" border="0" /></a><br />I honestly just started following you and your career at the beginning of last year. I had heard a lot about you but didn't really start following other teams until I got into... <span style="font-style: italic;">dun dun</span> <span style="font-style: italic;"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">dunnnn</span></span>... fantasy football. You screwed me week one. I know, I know, you didn't even play week one. It's my fault really- I should have benched you but I was new to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">ffb</span> and completely overwhelmed. After that though, on the weeks you played... dude you're <span style="font-style: italic;">ridiculous</span>! Thank you Thank you <span style="font-style: italic;">Thank you</span>. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Theblondethatskors</span> is in your debt. Even when Eddie Royal and you played at the same time you put up insane numbers most of the time. Both of you were on my team and, despite everyone telling me it was an awful strategy, I played both of you almost every week after determining through intense research whether you would play or not. It was <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">stressful</span> having you on the fritz like that and I prayed that in the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">off season</span> you would get back to 100% and be rearing to go in the '09/'10 season.<br /><br />Having said that... I've been wondering recently... <span style="font-style: italic;">What </span>the <span style="font-style: italic;">fuck </span>are you <span style="font-style: italic;">doing </span>dude?!?!??!! During the depressing months of football <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">off season</span> the <span style="font-style: italic;">last </span>thing I wanna read about is you being a woman beater. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">WTF</span>?!?!! You're Brandon Fucking Marshall! Brandon Marshall doesn't beat women! That's for pathetic, low-life losers who have no self-esteem and no future! NOT YOU! What are you thinking?! Why are you doing this to your loyal, loving fans not to mention to yourself!<br /><br />So I've been reading a lot about it and I've learned that you're no stranger to handcuffs. I just don't get how someone in your position can sleep at night or whatever knowing not only do you beat women (NOT <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">ok</span> at ALL) but that you're probably fucking up your NFL career. It's really sad and it makes me wanna cry. For example, you're looking for a trade right now- I saw it on ESPN news the other night. My reactions went as follows...<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Reaction 1- </span>"Why does he wanna get traded from the Broncos? First Cutler now B. Marshall?! Is their coach like, a total asshole or something? They could be <span style="font-style: italic;">such </span>an amazing team with all that talent!"<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Reaction 2-</span> "Holy. Shit. Holy Shit Holy Shit Holy Shit. The Redskins better fucking get B. Marshall that would be so perfect!!! <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">AHHH</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">YESSS</span>!!! I'd buy his burgundy and gold jersey in like 2 seconds! And we need a <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">WR</span> <span style="font-style: italic;">so </span>bad right now <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">omg</span>, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">OMG</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">OMG</span></span>!"<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Reaction 3-</span> "Shit... I forgot he got arrested for beating women again. Dammit. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">When is</span> that trial? I wonder what's gonna happen after the trial... is he gonna be allowed to play? We cant sign someone and give up draft picks if they aren't even gonna get to play!<span style="font-style: italic;"> Fuck </span>this sucks!"<br /><br />Now I'm torn Brandon. I want you. I really do. I want you to be a Redskin. I believe in you. The run-ins with the law have got to stop though. You just cant have liabilities like that! Think of the endless options you would have without this on your record. Now I have no idea what Snyder's gonna do. I mean, yeah Snyder loves snatching up players like you (thank God) but he might not wanna deal with the shit storm you'd bring. And you would bring <span style="font-style: italic;">quite </span>the shit storm.<br /><br />Most people I've talked to don't wanna deal with you and your storm and it's the saddest thing I've ever heard. B/c you deserve better and so do your fans. You're Brandon Fucking Marshall and to me that means you're the best of the best. The best of the best have their shit together though. You've <span style="font-style: italic;">got </span>to get your shit together if you're gonna have long-term staying power in the NFL. I would be totally distraught if you went the route of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">Plaxico</span> or Vick. Please don't do that to me Brandon. Seriously I would probably have a really awful panic attack. I'm worried. I want you to get the best lawyer in the world, sign with Washington and make some fucking moves this season. Make some serious moves. Don't make me regret drafting you to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17">Theblondethatskors</span> this year. Get outta trouble, don't go looking for more trouble and just do what you do best- get that ball and <span style="font-style: italic;">run</span>!! TOUCHDOWN BRANDON MARSHALL!! And the crowd goes <span style="font-style: italic;">wild</span>.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Bx5Qo4Pil2U/Sjl9rQpKdrI/AAAAAAAAATk/nA2vUuaQnzY/s1600-h/brandonmarshallbillboard.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 199px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Bx5Qo4Pil2U/Sjl9rQpKdrI/AAAAAAAAATk/nA2vUuaQnzY/s320/brandonmarshallbillboard.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348444214634641074" border="0" /></a>Frankiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16294593292906211413noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7036533069654787802.post-90907303836606819832009-04-12T13:49:00.000-07:002009-04-12T14:48:57.560-07:00(Mufasa Voice) It IS TimePre-season Schedule is out.

For a few reasons...<br /></span><ul><li><span style="font-size:100%;">I was in Texas. TEXAS. The Skins game was on at the same time as the Dallas vs. Eagles game. What do you think is going to be on in a bar in Texas? They don't really care for Redskins down there. (although they were very nice to me)</span></li><li><span style="font-size:100%;">It was over a week ago.. I can't really remember what I did last night. Events that happened a week ago are doomed to be forgotten.<br /></span></li><li><span style="font-size:100%;">We lost.</span></li><li><span style="font-size:100%;">I cried.</span></li><li><span style="font-size:100%;">We could have won. Just like every other game we've lost... we should have won it. ugh. </span></li><li><span style="font-size:100%;">It was the last game. So depressing. </span></li></ul><span style="font-size:100%;">So I'd rather not harp on it. But it IS still football season technically for the fortunate teams and I refuse to waste my amazing thoughts on football just because my lovers, sorry, I mean just because <span style="font-style: italic;">my team</span> is out of the playoffs. So what am I gonna do? I'm gonna pick a team every week that I think played better in their playoff game than they have all season. And maybe just maybe could make it to the big one. <span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Superbowl.</span><br /></span></div><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);font-size:100%;" >San Diego Chargers</span><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /></span><span style="font-size:100%;">Who would have thought that they would have pulled that off?? Honestly I love the<span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"> Chargers</span>. If I had been born on the west coast I would be a huge<span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"> Chargers</span> fan (I do have my allegiances though, being born on the east coast and pledging my football love the the <span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">Redskins</span>) So just say the<span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"> Chargers </span>are my number 2 team (and if you're curious I also love the<span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);"> Broncos</span>... and for some reason I started to like the <span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">Jets</span> this year but we all know how<span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"> farve</span> they went. I know, bad joke. Damn). Annnyways. The 8-8 Chargers just took Peyton and the 9 game winning streak Colts out of contention. And although I've read that Sproles (whose new nickname should be mighty mouse or something more creative along those lines) was exhausted and will be sitting in a tub of ice all week, they looked amazing doing it. They looked tireless and unstoppable. and they did it all, even overtime, without their star LaDainian for the whole second half. </span><span style="font-size:100%;">I think this deserves a Wow; maybe even a Whoa (think like Joey from Blossom). </span><span style="font-size:100%;">This is not a one dimensional team. Even their 25th ranked defense looked good. It was the Colts who were getting frustrated and making the flags fly. The Chargers kept their cool and because of that they also kept their hopes alive for the ring all players yearn for.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-size:100%;">But the big question now is... Can they beat the <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Steelers</span>? Not only that but can they beat them without home field advantage (I cringe at the thought of the terrible towels that the wretched Pittsburgh fans love so much. </span><span style="font-size:100%;">Actually I cringe at the thought of Pittsburgh fans regardless of towels, I hate them). </span><span style="font-size:100%;">Will the Chargers offense be enough against the impenetrable Steelers defense? The answer... I have no idea. I know, what a shitty answer. But anything can happen (also an obvious) and I cannot WAIT for this game this Sunday. I know I'll be cheering for Rivers, Sproles, Gates and LaDainian to come through in the clutch because if they can put points on the board, I personally don't think that the Steelers will know what hit them. The Chargers have always been underrated. I just hope they can keep it together. I would love to see this team in the Superbowl.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:100%;" >Honorable mention</span><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /></span><span style="font-size:100%;">The <span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0); font-weight: bold;">Philadelphia Eagles</span>. Well freagin done <span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);">Eagles</span>. I was rootin for them to win and win they did. The interceptions and blocks were incredible and there were a lot of them. The<span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"> Eagles </span>defense was ridiculous. Their offense was amazing too. <span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);">McNabb</span> was definitely in the zone and (side note) he is so adorable when he's giddy like a 5 year old. I hope they can stay healthy and take another Manning out of contention on Sunday. They are completely capable of beating the mighty mighty<span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"> G-Men</span> (I hate that name) and yes I do think that the <span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);">Eagles</span> have the look and feel of the<span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"> Giants </span>of '08. </span><span style="font-size:100%;">Meaning (what else?...) Superbowl contenders. In honor of the NFC East, I hope they do it. I believe that our conference was the most difficult and talent ridden conference this year and it would be nice to have one of us in the Superbowl. Another side note: Thank God it's not <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">Dallas</span>.

I have an article to finish for work but I couldn't stop myself from responding quickly to a comment left on my blog under <a href="http://showsomeskins.blogspot.com/2008/12/thats-what-we-call-sweep.html">That's What We Call A Sweep. </a><br /><br />I love love love comments, and this is no exception. Thank you <a href="http://datingwithoutpants.blogspot.com/">Dating Without Pants</a> for reading my blog, it makes me very happy :) You'll have to read the post and check out the whole comment to completely understand my response but part of it read like this, "making a field goal is much harder than it looks". I agree wholeheartedly. That's why Suisham, Rackers, Longwell, Akers and the rest of them get paid more than my entrepreneurial workaholic dad; it's not easy doing what they do.<br /><br />But... Football is more than a sport, it's a career. And kicking Field goals and PAT's is their job. Their J-O-B. They know what they're doing, they have done it millions of times. Those 10-20 seconds in the game when they judge the wind, make sure they've stretched enough by kicking the air once, point their arm toward the center of the goal post and finally kick the ball that's magically been placed down in front of them is all they do. They train endlessly for it; this is their moment to shine. And shine they should because most of the time when the kicker runs out onto the Field (unless it's for the PAT) it's not just to gain an extra three points in a landslide victory game, it's to save the game because their team has failed in their attempt to make it into the end zone. Their team needs them.<br /><br />I'm not cocky or ignorant in my female football love. I know that anyone genuinely interested in a blog centered around football already knows everything I've already written. The real point of this post is really just to show off. So maybe I am a little cocky. ;)<br /><br />At Fed Ex Field there is something known as 'The Tailgate Club' and I've been lucky enough to have been a part of it once. You can buy wristbands to the this tailgate when you purchase season tickets (if you are so lucky to get to the top of the never ending waiting list for Redskins season tickets-- this stadium is always a sell out crowd). I think it was the last pre-season game that my friend Samson invited me to go with him. I had never been to the tailgate club and I had more fun than a 5 year-old in Candy Heaven.<br /><br />There was a huge (free) BBQ, a meet and greet with some Redskin cheerleaders, huge replicas of your favorite players bodies with only the head missing so it would seem as though you <span style="font-style: italic;">were</span> the player when you posed behind it, big blow-up Redskins receivers with holes where the football should be so you could try to throw the football into the holes and, of course, a place to kick Field goals. I had to try everything. I had never tried to kick a Field goal before but I did used to be a soccer player and I'm not trying to brag but... I am pretty gifted when it comes to sports.<br /><br />Sometimes I wish I had been born a boy since opportunities for girls and sports are limited after college (limited meaning there really aren't any) but I love being a girl too much to harp on that wish for too long. God knew what he was doing when he made me. If I had been born a boy I would probably just be blogging now about all the opportunities I let slip me by because I had been too drunk, too rebellious, too lazy or simply not confidant enough to pursue. Let bygones be bygones right?<br /><br />But I digress.<br /><br />Back to the point. If a 5'4 115 pound 24 year old can make it on her first try (in flip flops no less)... I stand firm that pro football kickers with years of experience should make it. I'm not looking for perfection but fans should never really have waves of worry wash over them when their teams kicker runs out onto the Field; missing a Field goal should be a rare occurrence. I'm sick of biting my nails (which I hate doing) when Suisham lines up his kick. He's better than that. His paycheck says so.<br /><br />Wanna see me kick my first Field goal?? <a href="http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=41082757">Of course you do :)</a><br /><br />I would have uploaded it here for you to watch but unfortunately I don't have it saved on my computer since it was taken with Samson's camera. But I made the Myspace video public so hopefully you'll be able to see it.<br /><br />Other memories from that day...<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Bx5Qo4Pil2U/SVqLyIjwO7I/AAAAAAAAAQY/l-6HXoTAy8g/s1600-h/IMG_1290+%284%29.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 190px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Bx5Qo4Pil2U/SVqLyIjwO7I/AAAAAAAAAQY/l-6HXoTAy8g/s200/IMG_1290+%284%29.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285690806079863730" border="0" /></a> It took me three tries to throw the ball into Cooley's awaiting arms.

Wait, no, sorry I am already wasted from the bottles of champagne we drank in the car. oops. What can I say, the air was different, we were celebrating early. I, unfortunately, do not have a ticket yet. The <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">fam</span> has season tickets and my dad gave these tickets away to clients. Thanks a lot. So after drinking copious amounts of sweet tea vodka the three of us start to head to the stadium on a mission. L has to pee.

And then realize I don't give a fuck what the price is. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Gimmie</span> those tickets.<br /><br />I am now on cloud 9 even though J has informed me that I'm the worst negotiator ever.

Still laughing.<br /><br />Damn, that's not the usual reaction. I was kinda hoping for a confrontation of some sort. L backs me up and possibly takes it too far when she yells (to no one in particular), "<span style="font-style: italic;">I wanna </span><span style="font-style: italic;" class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">McStab</span><span style="font-style: italic;"> the fucking Eagles in their fucking Gonads!!!

Well we don't sit, b/c we never ever sit at games. So we're standing.<br /><br />Where's the Fucking beer man!?? We search for 5 minutes.<br />SUCCESS! 6 miller lights please. He looks at us... six?<br />Yeah 6, why... can we get 3 each?<br />No, apparently we cannot, 2 a person is the limit.<br />He only has 4 miller lights left.<br />Worthless beer man. You are not going to talk us out of getting our 6 beers.<br />We decide to take 4 <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17">MLs</span> and 2 <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18">BLs</span>.<br />It's so cold out you can't taste them anyways.<br />This is taking way too long. I tip too much to make him go away (yet come back often with more Miller Lights)<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Kickoff.</span> My heart soars, I feel like I'm high. I'm not... but I am def drunk. And that explains why I don't really know what happened for the rest of the game in any particular sequence. This is the game as I remember...<br /><br /><ul><li><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19">Plackemeier</span> does WORK. He makes me jump up and down in my seat. Nice punting Ryan.</li><li>Jason Taylor looks <span style="font-style: italic;">SICK</span>. I knew he was a monster, welcome to the monster show.</li><li>Jason Campbell runs the ball and keeps running. I feel like he is running forever. He isn't, but really huge gain. Also makes me jump up and down screaming "YEA BABY <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20">GOOOO</span>!"</li><li><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_21">Portis</span> is getting shut down, why is this happening to us?!?!</li><li><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_22">Suisham</span> misses the field goal. Well of fucking course he does. I start crying. Yes, CRYING<span style="font-weight: bold;">.</span></li></ul>Pause. Don't judge. Let me explain. Football is very emotional to me. I could probably explain why but that would take forever so let me just explain instead why I cried at this moment. I love the Redskins, but they usually prove to be a very emotional team. When they have momentum and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_23">they're</span> pumped up; they win. When the chips are down and it's not looking good; they lose.<br /><br />That's just how it's been in my opinion. I wish I could be down on the sidelines with them just pumping them up, but I can't. I have to stay in my seat. And they cant hear me screaming my encouraging words. It's so frustrating. So I cry b/c they just look so damn sad sometimes and the game isn't even half over.<br /><br />J gets PISSED. "STOP CRYING WE'RE GONNA WIN!"<br />Me: "I KNOW it's just... it's just... what if they don't turn it around?? We <span style="font-style: italic;">have</span> to win J we <span style="font-style: italic;">HAVE</span> to win! I KNOW we can do it!"<br />J " WE <span style="font-style: italic;">ARE </span>gonna win! Seriously stop crying. Jesus, L look, she's crying already"<br />L "Oh My God are you really crying??"<br />Me "LEAVE ME ALONE!! I HATE <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_24">SUISHAM</span>!"<br />L & J say something like, "Ya he fucking sucks balls"<br /><br />I now decide to go pee. I have had to do this for almost the whole game while drinking ML. Fuck the line in the girls room and the little girl (like 11 years old) who thinks she can cut. I'm feeling empathetic, I let her go ahead. I'm so nice sometimes.<br /><br />After peeing I walk nack out into the corridor or whatever it's called. I smoke a <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_25">cig</span> and wonder aloud with a random smoker next to me how long it will take for us to get told not to smoke there (it's a non-smoking area). He shrugs about it being freezing or something, but I wasn't really listening. I continue chatting till I'm done with my <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_26">cig</span> and say goodbye to my new friend. Making new friends is the best (I'm sure he feels the same way, whatever his name is).<br /><br />I start walking back into our section and notice that <span style="font-style: italic;" class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_27">everyone</span> is walking out. I scream to no one in particular, "Whats going on? Where is everyone going?!?!??!!" Someone else hollers, "Honey it's halftime." Shit, I am an idiot. Obviously it's halftime.<br /><br />Halftime is somewhat uneventful. I smoke <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_28">cigs</span> at my seat b/c it's so cold no one can tell if it's smoke coming out of your mouth or just your breath. Right before the game starts up again I decide I need some gloves. I am really<span style="font-style: italic;"> really </span>cold. Especially my fingers. My fingers feel like they might fall off.<br /><br />I go to the redskins store.<br />"I need mittens"<br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">"We don't have any"</span><br />"WHAT!?! It's less than 20 degrees with windchill and you have NO <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_29">mittens</span>!???"<br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">"Sorry"</span><br />"Shit Shit Shit. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_30">Ok</span>. well. I want a Cooley jersey. One that fits over all the clothes I have on now, and it has to be white."<span style="font-style: italic;"> (this was a split second decision. I just wanted to buy something and I remembered during the 1st quarter I screamed at people around me to stop booing or I would kill them and the guy behind me gently reminded me that fans say <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_31">COOOOOOOOLEY</span> when he catches the ball. I feel like a failure as a fan for not paying closer attention to the game and not knowing when Cooley had the ball b/c I love him: <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_32">Hence</span>, my jersey purchase)</span> "AND I want that headband, that one, that one there, the big one.. ITS THE ONLY ONE LEFT!"<br />Oddly the guy behind the counter loves me.<br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">"Hey I see you here a lot."</span><br />"Yeah I'm at every game, I smoke <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_33">cigs</span> in that tunnel when I get yelled at for smoking them in front of the TV"<br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">"yeah, that's you. (he smiles) cool."</span><br />He now makes it his job to make me a satisfied customer (at least that's what I tell myself) and it works, he is awesome.<br /><br />Wearing my super rad new Cooley 47 white jersey I decide its time for more beer. I go up to the nearest vendor. "What kinda beer you got?"<br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">"Sorry Honey, end of third quarter we're <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_34">closin</span> up."</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">WHAT</span></span>!?!?!!!!<br />"SERIOUSLY!?"<br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">"<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_35">Fraid</span> so"</span><br />"Well HELP me! Where can I buy beer!? I <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_36">neeed</span> it!"<br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">"Try that bar over there"</span><br />Thank GOD for that woman. I Run.<br />"4 Miller Lights PLEASE!"<br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">"We don't have Miller Light"</span><br />"<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_37">Ok</span>, 4 Whatever Lights" (Does it really matter at the end of third quarter anyways??)<br />She obliges. Man behind me helps me carry beer to seat. Being a girl is wonderful.<br />L and J stare at me as I finally return.<br />L & J "Where WERE you!?? You missed the... (pause) <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_38">OMG</span> she bought a jersey. Look how big it is!"<br />J especially loves when I do stupid random things like drunkenly buy a huge <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_39">men's</span> jersey, or eat everything in her fridge after smoking, or fall on my face while walking... things like that.<br /><br />I show them beer. They forget momentarily about my drunk wanderings and focus on drinking it.<br />J "This is the worst Bud Light ever"<br />Me "Maybe that's because it's <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_40">Heineken</span> Light"<br />L busts out laughing<br />J (trying to save face) "No well, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_41">bc</span> it looks like bud light, are you sure its <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_42">Heini</span>?"<br />Me "Yup, I saw her pour it, she wouldn't give me the glass bottles" (I can't imagine why not?)<br /><br />We focus on the game. I even take a video on my phone... <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_43">OHHH</span> yeah. It's amazing. FUCK the EAGLES!<br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dwYfsv6HYemStDPqs9keOiXc5nD288uwWki5gYQMr7h33OVO5IYGPvbK1qZeEt0lI0BNWOTviOhcJPf63BXKg' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe><br /><br />More of what I remember from the game...<br /><ul><li><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_44">Suisham</span> makes a field goal. Even I could have made that one.</li><li><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_45">JC</span> is having a really really good game. I love him.</li><li>Our defense is actually acting like a defense. Hold on to your balls if you can. (The eagles can't)</li><li><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_46">Portis</span> doesn't score... we get nervous... fucking red zone.<br /></li><li><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_47">PORTIS</span> SCORES!! WE GO WILD!! HAIL TO THE REDSKINS!!! HAIL VICTORY and all that jazz.</li><li>Santana Moss returns a punt, and it's a beaut. And then ya know what? Ya know what?!? Penalty on the Play! Fucking perfect! Typical. And I'm pissed again.</li><li>The eagles don't score a single touchdown.</li><li>My favorite part of the game: Redskins dance. I don't remember what quarter it was in but I distinctively remember seeing the Redskins on the field dancing to the rap music being playing over the loud speakers. Whenever the Redskins start dancing you know they're gonna win. It's the best thing in the world. If any Redskins are reading, please dance more <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_48">bc</span> I love it. and I love you (not in a creepy way).<br /></li><li>The end of the game was a little confusing for some reason. And then we celebrated!! HAIL!</li></ul>So that's the game as I remember it. The bullet points are in no particular order except for the last one. I also remember kissing the black guy who I usually sit next to at games (this is very very unlike me) I ran up to him in the parking lot, jumped on him, wrapped my legs around him and planted one on him. I'm pretty sure he's in love with me, he keeps <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_49">texting</span> and asking me out. oops.<br /><br />I have never been so excited to win. Or maybe it just feels like that since it was the first win against a good team in a WHILE. And I'm so sad that there are no more home games and the seasons almost over. What am I going to do? Next year cannot come soon enough. We're gonna seriously dominate. Our team has Super Bowl written all over them in 2010. You've just gotta believe <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_50">haha</span>. I'm serious!<br /><br />HAIL TO THE REDSKINS!Frankiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16294593292906211413noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7036533069654787802.post-53868355812768310382008-12-04T10:18:00.000-08:002008-12-04T13:32:07.178-08:00Show Some Pink<div style="text-align: center;">Completely off the topic of Football but very relevant to showing skin.
