The Nun

Hand over the MVP trophy, Eli.  It turns out the Giants’ miraculous Super Bowl win may all be thanks to one very sweet “Sister act.”  According to an article on nola.com, a New Orleans nun mailed Giants’ team president John Mara an our Lady of Prompt Succor medal as a token of good luck for Eli and his team.  (Mara could be seen clutching the medal in cutaways during the more tense moments of the game.)  

Sister Kathleen Finnerty says she and her fellow sisters are in the “habit” of cheering on the Manning brothers.  They’re all huge football fans who rarely miss a game all season long.   Would it be tacky of us to suggest the Sisters send a lovely lawn statue  of the Blessed Virgin to the Saint’s training facility in time for next season?

The Saint

Yes, Charles Grant is alive and well.  No, he wasn’t stabbed in Atlanta.  He was at club in Southwest Georgia.  Yes a pregnant woman was killed in the altercation.  No, we’re not sure why a pregnant woman was out clubbing.

The Game from Hell

The Pro Bowl is this Sunday and promises to be one of the most “I don’t give a crap” football events I’ve witnessed since Week 17’s Chiefs at Jets.  There are no Saints and there’s only 1 Giant to taunt the millions of Patriots who will be on the field.  Alas, I’ll join the rest of you in watching it anyways, like damn sheep I tell you.  It’s all we have left.  (Well, there are the Hornets but our love for them is purely superficial.)

By the way, went to Mardi Gras this week.  Got drunk, got beads, and got the flu.  Good times…
