Lauren Silberman & the “Womp Womp” Heard ‘Round the World

silberman2

As Lauren Silberman took to the field on Sunday to make history as the first woman to try out as an NFL kicker, I cued up Chaka Khan's "I'm Every Woman" in my head. Even if she didn't make it on a team, which no one expected she would, I fully expected her to represent for women everywhere, to at least show that she deserved to be there. Sure I got a little uneasy as I watched her take 20 seconds to tee up the ball, but that didn't stop me from mentally singing for Lauren: "Anything you want done baby. I do it naturally!" And then came the kick that sent the ball about 19 measly yards, counting the roll. I shifted uneasily in my seat but I tried to attribute her weak attempt to nerves. … [Read more...]

Bills Week 1 was…

tempCM2_9137--nfl_mezz_1280_1024

...ridiculous. The team wore its "home" uniforms because the Jets' home jerseys are white ... ridiculous. MetLife Stadium STOPS SELLING BEER after halftime ... ridiculous. Jets fans in general were ... ridiculous. My reaction to the game was hyper dramatic ... aka ridiculous. The team made history in its own books by allowing the most points in a season opener, ever ... ridiculous. I actually met a Bills fan who said he was too "embarrassed" to wear Bills gear to the game. I stared at him blankly for a second and then had to walk away ... RIDICULOUS. The Bills lost ... not so ridiculous, some may say, but I had high hopes and so did they, so ridiculous. What went so wrong in a game that … [Read more...]

Bills look to start the season off right

fitzmagic

Excited. Nervous. Overwhelmed. Anxious. Depressed. All words that come to mind when I think about the Bills facing the Jets on Sunday at MetLife Stadium. Why? Excited: Because it's Week 1 of the best season of the year! Football, duh. Nervous: Ditto. Overwhelmed: Ditto, plus I'm easily overwhelmed and it's really hard having so many conflicting emotions all at once. Anxious: I'm going to the game, and granted, I'm going with the best group of Jets fans possible (I'm pretty sure they're the only ones I've ever been able to maintain a functional, lasting relationship with), but I'm mostly worried about the rest of the stadium. By now you know I'm A) dramatic B) unable to keep my … [Read more...]

A Sex Bounty on Tim Tebow?

Florida Gators Football Training Camp

A skanky website is on a mission to "out" Jets backup quarterback Tim Tebow. They're offering one million bucks to any woman who can prove she's had sex with the self-professed virgin. (As if a woman who would publicly admit to sleeping with someone for money really needed the money to sleep with said dude to begin with.) The website, Ashley Madison, has a reputation for outskanking itself. No surprise since the site is devoted to hooking up people who want to have an affair. Their mission, should some young dirtbag choose to accept it, would reward the woman who earns the "honor" of stealing Tebow's virginity. Stay classy, America. … [Read more...]

The Super Bowl Is More Important Than…

...apparently a whole mess of stuff, according to the average American. And I thought it was just me and my fellow chicks who suffered from an odd, unhealthy obsession with the game. But nope, it turns out the rest of you are a bunch of weirdos, too! Hooray!! According to a survey run by CouponCabin.com (I know, I know...but just hear me out), 20% of people said they would miss a loved one's funeral if their favorite team was in the game. (Say what?!!!) 21% would miss an important work responsibility and 20 percent would miss the wedding of a close friend. (If someone cares so little about the Super Bowl that they would plan their wedding on game day, are they really worth being friends … [Read more...]
