Futility

BryceBrown

Thy name is "2012 Eagles." Eagles v. Panthers, Monday, November 26, 2012 Stud of the week: Bryce Brown. Yes, he had two fumbles. But he also scored the Birds only two TDs and broke the rookie rushing record. Hey, the pickin's are pretty slim these days, y'all. I was out last night, as was Chef Spouse. So, with neither of us knowing exactly when we'd get home, we set the game to record. I got in the door just as the game was starting. You know how, when it's two teams that aren't very good and aren't even in your conference, like maybe Jaguars versus Chiefs, but you think "Yeah, but it's Monday Night Football. Last game of the week. What else am I going to watch?" That. Was … [Read more...]

It’s About Time: Bucs Win In Overtime

Going into yesterday's Panthers game, it was easy to be a little overconfident. The Bucs had a 5-4 record, and had won four of their last five games. Running back Doug Martin was all over national sportscasts, with talking heads who usually seem to forget the Bucs exist ("Wait, you mean that team with the orange uniforms? Vinny Testeverde's team?") proclaiming the newbie as a candidate for Rookie of the Year. On the opposite end of the spectrum, the Panthers were coming in at 2-7, having blown several leads over the course of the season, and with the national chatter centering on the sophomore slumping Cam Newton and his terrible, horrible, no good, very bad attitude. You can understand, … [Read more...]

Saints Week 2: This Time, It’s Ridiculous

While watching the Saints' defense get dismantled by Cam Newton and the Panthers, I realized I hadn't had that much fun since that time I was at a construction site and a rusty nail went through my foot. But as painful as it was to watch, I must say I walked away from Sunday's horrid ordeal with a positive outlook. You see unlike in week 1, this week I was smart enough to stock up on both beer AND wine before the game. Oh wait...you thought I saw something positive in that crap-tacular display we put on the field? Don't be silly, little birdies! I've pulled things out of my dog's butt that looked better than our alleged "defense." We couldn't tackle. We couldn't cover. We couldn't even … [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...]
