More news of the past week

Another addition of what's going on in the NFL flurry of preseason trades and acquisitions.

So sad that we have to say good-bye to JT on the Jets, but I hope he'll feel back at home for his latest tenure with the Dolphins.  Only Jason Taylor can make those hideous colors look good!

I hope Braylon Edwards can keep himself out of trouble enough to prove that he's still relevant for the 49ers.  Maybe he just needs to be back on the west coast to get himself straight again.  I think a Kaepernick/Edwards combo could be amazeballs.

How long do we think Denver is going to put up with the bitching and moaning of Tim Tebow before they yank Kyle Orton out of the starting position?  I really can't understand Denver's thinking.  The city of Denver is obsessed with Tebow and they want him as their starter.  Just let Orton go and showcase how green and unprepared Tebow is.  Please.

I am so excited that Plaxico Burress is a Jet!  I don't know how great of a producer he'll be this year, but I'm hoping for a great story of redemption.  With Sanchez growing up and learning how to play the game and Plax being a veteran who has seen so much, I think it's going to be a really strong pairing.  I'm looking forward to watching them play together!

Every girl needs a couple Kaepernick jerseys

As briefly mentioned in an earlier post, I received 3 Kaepernick jerseys for my birthday, 2 red ones and a white one.  Apparently my friends and family really love me because those things aren't cheap.

After I had opened all of them, one of my friends noticed that the white one was actually a NY Giants jersey with Kap's name and number on it.  Funny thing, that's the one that came from the 49ers own website.

My dad (who got me the jersey) called to ask them to send a replacement and they said they would, on the condition that we send the Giants jersey back.  Hell no!  I'm keeping it forever because it's hilarious!

Deciding that 3 was just too many, I returned one of the red jerseys to Scheels and got some sweet Under Armour.  But I'm totally psyched to wear my new jerseys, even though supporting the 49ers is going to be the death of me!

And here is the infamous picture of me, Kap, and Morgan the night we stalked him at a nightclub to take a picture with him.  Creepy, yes.  Worth it, yes.  I just wish I didn't look so terrible in the photo.  Even though I was intoxicated, I was still embarrassed that we were such weirdos!

See you in San Francisco!

The Good and The Bad

THE GOOD:

Colin Kaepernick is finally signed with the 49ers for a 4 year deal, which is great because I wouldn't want my 3 Kap jerseys to go to waste!  Yes, I received 3 for my birthday. Win.

Santonio Holmes has been re-signed by the Jets for a massive deal.  Let's just hope he behaves himself and doesn't have to be a bench warmer for 5 games for drug use....

Oh, Albie.  I kind of loved him and his craziness when he was a Titan, then he went off the deep end with the 'Skins and acted like a bigger diva than Mariah Carey.  Now, he's moving on to the Patriots and I'm giddy.  I can't wait to see the stress he's gonna cause Bill Belichick!  I hope he's awful because that would just fill my heart with happiness!

THE BAD

Jason Babin is now playing for the Eagles and I'm heartbroken.  He is one of my favorite Titans and I'm so sad to see him go!  I think the Eagles are going to have a spectacular team this year, as much as it pains me to say so, and they will have a good shot at making it to the Super Bowl.

Ugh.  Why do the Titans consistently make personnel choices I do not agree with?  I guess Matt Hasslebeck is our new QB.  I'm going to try to learn to love him, but it's gonna be hard since my heart was set on Kyle Orton.  I have a feeling that they are only bringing Hasslebeck in as a buffer until Jake Locker is ready; he's not a long term guy.  Let's hope he can breathe life into my ailing Titans.

Where to watch the Super Bowl

It happens every year.  I get all psyched up for the big game then, when the day comes, I have nowhere fun to watch it.  Usually, I end up at my Dad's with a plethora of snack foods, but with only the company of my father and step-mom.  As avid of a football fan as I am, I can't remember the last time I even had a beer during the Super Bowl.

This year I'm shaking things up.

It looks like I might have the opportunity to go back to San Francisco (the city is only 5 hours away, so I try to get there as much as possible) to watch the game!  My female football fan friends (Blanche Manning and Blanche Collie) are going to the Bay for an opportunity to meet the San Francisco Giants at AT&T Park because Blanche Collie has a soft spot for Brian Wilson.  They have invited me to join them on their sojourn to San Francisco.

San Francisco.  Blanches.  Gays.  Football.  YES PLEASE!

Let's hope I can get Monday off work, but I'm too scared to ask the boss today 'cause he's overly aggro.

Keep your fingers crossed for me,
Blanche Sanche
