Engagement OFF!

It comes as no surprise to me that Jay Cutler and Kristin Cavallari broke up.  What does shock me is that HE dumped HER!  Is there anything more sad and pathetic in life than to be left by Jay Cutler??? Absolutely not.
I'm sure Cutler will find a way to manifest this break up into a physical injury so that he doesn't have to actually play football this season.  As for Kristin, maybe this will inspire her to design more shitty clothes that no one wants to buy.

Hooray for Football!

The increasingly frequent buzz of my iPhone, letting me know I have a new text alert from NFL.com, is music to my ears.
For any fan of the NFL, yesterday was a very exciting day!  The NFLPA finally signed off on the new CBA with the owners and got everyone back to work.  But more exciting than yesterday is today.
It's wonderful to finally read about players showing up to the facilities to practice and get back on their game.  It's also wonderful to start talking free agency.  Who is going to go where and who is going to get a huge deal to stay just where they are?  
I'm personally very anxious to see who the new starting QB for the Tennessee Titans will be, especially now that the Broncos are out shopping Kyle Orton.  It's no secret that I would love to have K. Ort be the leader, and new face, of the Titans, since they have pretty much gotten rid of everyone on the team that I love.  Plus, he's a great QB who hasn't really found his niche anywhere.  Nashville would make a great home for him.
I also want to see what deals will be inked for Santonio Holmes, Braylon Edwards, and Antonio Cromartie because as much as I hope they will stay Jets, it's not likely to happen.  Oh, and while we are at it Jets, re-sign Jason Taylor.  Do it.  Right. Now.
This week will be full of great drama and hard work.  I'm more excited than I have been in a long time!

Withdrawal....

It's definitely that time of year when I start to really feel the absence of football in my life.  I start to crave it, to need it, to feel empty without it.  For awhile after the season ends, I get a sense of relief because I don't have to devote so many hours to the game.  It's kind of nice to get away from it and to not obsessively check NFL.com every five minutes for the latest stories or injury reports.

But then July comes and I notice that NFL.com isn't in my top 10 visited websites and that troubles me.  It's about time I start looking into players for my Fantasy team(s) and wanting to know when, for Christ's sake, is this lockout going to end.

What I'm saying friends is that I'm getting back into the game right here and now.  I'm going to start blogging more and hoping that, if I'm more active, it will make the next month fly by.

Now, I gotta go read up on my news, so I'll have something to write about!

NFL 2011 Draft

There's been a lot I should have written about over the past few months, but I didn't.  I was lazy and never felt compelled to say anything, so let's forget that any of it happened and move on.

Tomorrow is a big day!  The start of the 2011 NFL Draft.  With all the commotion happening between the players and the owners, the draft hype has been rather lackluster.  It's hard to get excited about drafting new players into a league that may or may not have a 2011 season.

I, however, am on pins and needles.  Not only am I praying (seriously, and I'm not even religious) for the Titans to pick up Colin Kaepernick in the second round, but the draft is something else entirely for me.  It also serves as my 2011 Boyfriend Draft!

Last year, my number 1 boyfriend was Sam Bradford... and not just because he was drafted first.  His sweet face and goofy smile placed him at the top of my list.  I will have to look and see who the rest of my picks were, but I'm pretty sure that Bradford was the most successful candidate of the year.

This year, I'm obviously going to take Colin Kaepernick early, but the rest of the line up is TBD.  I guess I'll fill you in as the draft progresses tomorrow.

PS- Jay Cutler is engaged.  That makes me barf in my mouth.  He is the most vile human being I can think of, next to the disturbed individual that thought up Human Centipede.  Fuck that guy.

Slacker

I know it's not football season, but with everything going on, I feel like I've let this blog fall by the wayside.  Sorry about that, friends.  Here I am, though, to briefly discuss the important things that have happened lately.
Jason Taylor was cut from the Jets.  WTF?  They better renegotiate his contract and bring him back or this girl is going on a rampage.
Tiki Barber is un-retiring, which HAS to be because he's broke.  There is no reason a 38 year old man who retired in 2006 should be making his comeback as a running back.  Who is going to take him?  Probably no one.  You've always been my favorite Barber bro, Tiki, but Ronde is taking over now.
Vince Young wants back on the Titans. NO.  Munchak better not do it.  Also, Warren Moon thinks the Titans should pick Cam Newton as their first round draft pick.  NO.  Hello, world!  Our first round pick of VY didn't work; it's not time to start over with another brand new QB.  Let's pick up an established guy before we start picking up fresh meat.
Plaxico Buress will be released from prison in early June.  I think this guy is going to have a stellar comeback... as long as he remembers to properly holster his guns at all times. 
This whole CBA nonsense feels like it's never going to end.  I don't think anyone is willing to give up anything to come to an agreement, so let's just be the overpaid assholes you are and screw over your fans, your employees and the livelihoods of your neighborhood economies so that you can get a few more million dollars.

And I'm out.

Pure artistry

My dear friend, Blanche Collie, went on a Paint drawing spree and made pictures for the three of us.  Though she does not include Austin Collie in her picture, I know he's in her heart.  Enjoy these winning pictures!

You know you wish your friends would waste their time at work making you glorious drawings of you and anonymous sports husbands.

A little something to brighten my day

I know there are far more important things happening in the football world at this moment (t minus 25 hours until the lockout), but Chord Overstreet (the Bieber-haired blond boy on Glee) just posted this photo and my heart did a happy dance.  Mark Sanchez + Mark Salling + Wii = Personal Heaven.  I would sell a body part to be a part of this photo.  However, in light of Mr. Sanchez' current scandal, I don't think it's appropriate for him to be hanging out on the set of Glee.  Too much temptation for him, don't you think???
