Go Horses

A first grade teacher explains to her class that she is an Chicago Bears fan. She asks her students to raise their hands if they are Bears fans, too. Not really knowing what a Bears fan was, but wanting to be liked by their teacher, their hands fly into the air. There is, however, one exception. Kelly has not gone along with the crowd. The teacher asks her why she has decided to be different. "Because I'm not a Bears fan" she reports.

"Then," asks the teacher," What are you?"

"I'm an Indianapolis Colts fan" boasts the little girl.

The teacher asks Kelly why she is a Colts fan.

"Well, my Dad and Mom are Colts fans, so I'm a Colts fan too" she responds.

"That's no reason," the teacher says. "What if your mom was a moron, and your dad was an idiot. What would you be then?"

Kelly smiles and says, "Then I'd be a Bears fan."

GO COLTS!!!!

THIS JUST IN

Chicago (AP) – Chicago Bears football practice was delayed nearly two hours today after a player reported finding an unknown white powdery substance on the practice field. Head coach LOVIE SMITH immediately suspended practice while police and federal investigators were called to investigate.

After a complete analysis, FBI forensic experts determined that the white substance unknown to the players was the GOAL LINE. Practice resumed after special agents decided the team was unlikely to encounter the substance again…

GO COLTS!!!!

I'll Take That Mara Trophy, Thank You.

AFC CHAMPIONS 38-34.

Greatest comeback in NFL Conference Championship Game history.

Tied for 4th greatest comeback of all time.

Manning: 349 yards, 1 passing TD, 1 rushing TD, 1 game winning drive with 2:17 remaining, one Bradymonkey off the back. Well done Peyton, well done.

One of the most amazing games I've ever seen PERIOD. Not even a contest, the greatest game I have ever seen in person. The RCA Dome was INSANE. I have never heard anything so loud. Not a concert, not a jet. Nothing.

And to the Pats fans in section 342 right behind me, way to be classy. I appreciate your cheering, your team dedication, and for you not being assholes likes the Steelers/Chiefs/Titans fans I have endured over the last few seasons. You took your loss in stride and were gracious in defeat. You even sat through the celebration and trophy presentation. You made me rethink my image of Pats fans. At least for a little bit ;).

Thanks for the memories boys in blue.

One. More. Game.

I believe fellas, I believe.

Believe? I'm trying boys, really I am

I am trying so hard to think positive. I really am. I've been rocking the BELIEVE wrist band for almost 2 years straight (with minimal breaks). Last year was the year. Everything was clicking. This year has been as big a disaster as a 12-4 (now 13-4 thanks) team can have. But you came up huge last week on D.

I hope you can do it again. And I hope P-money can be... well... money and not his usual playoff self. I hope you can do it. I think you can do it. I KNOW you can do it.

I'm having a hard time believing you WILL do it.

Please Explain Something to Me

I need some perspective from the ladies out there. A phenomenon that has only recently really come to my attention. Rather, I am a little more sensitive to it these days. The art of Man-hating. Why do you think it occurs, and why don't men women-hate (at least in the same fashion)?

There is a real gender difference on this subject. When men get together to talk, assuming they actually talk about something other than sports, and the topic of women or a woman comes up, it does not get to woman-hating. More times than not it is conversation directed to a particular person. X is a slut. Y is a controlling biatch. Z is just a sad soul lost in her own misery. Sometimes the topics turn to wives/girlfriends and particular problems or instances that they are having. Rarely, if ever, does the topic turn to women as a whole. When and if it does it is usually to make some off the wall stereotypical comment for a laugh.

However recently, I have noticed alot of ranting on blogs, talk shows, and in my life from women about men as a whole. And I would classify most of it as man-hating. And it irritates me. If womyn man-hate it seems to be empowering and a sign of girl-power. You don't need us and all that jazz. If men do it they are misogynistic pigs. I understand that the opposite sex can be frustrating. I understand wanting to vent about a spouse or whatever. But how is that empowering? What is right for one gender and SOOOO wrong for another? One can only hang their hat for so long on the "past wrongs" crap. I'm sorry for what someone did 75 years ago, hell 25 or 50 years ago, but that isn't me and I didn't do it. So let it go.

I guess I really started noticing when I was dismissed (not by you honey) in relation to wedding plans. "Just go watch sports", they say. "What do you care, you're a guy", I hear. "What do you know about colors and style?", they ask. Plenty thanks. But you wouldn't know, would you? Because I am dismissed off hand. And no, wedding planning is not the only time this happens.

You've heard of reverse racism (which absolutely exists)? Well I'm hear to tell you about reverse sexism.
