Awwwwww

The Saints won the Super Bowl!!! This is HUGE for New Orleans and I wish I could be on Bourbon Street watching the celebration! Mardi Gras is coming up too. The city will be raging!

Here is my favorite image from the game. Saints quarterback Drew Brees is holding up his one year old son after just having defeated Peyton Manning and the Colts to win the franchise's first ever Super Bowl. What a special moment.

Super Bowl Slang

A guy recently told me he would be impressed if a girl knew and used these terms while watching the Super Bowl today:

worked- to make a fool of somebody

trucked- to take a big hit

burned- to be out run by somebody else

ruined, waxed, and scraped- losing badly

got lit up- to have lots of points scored on you

juked- faked out

de-cleated, tossed- to be hit unexpectedly or from the blind side

sacked- quarterback is tackled before he has thrown the football


Here is a lovely little song by Lonely Island, the creators of such classics as the Emmy award winning Dick in a Box and I'm On a Boat. This song, called We Like Sportz, has a line that goes: "Watching sports with girls is a pain/ They don't know the rules, there's no time to explain." Remember, fake it till you make it. GO GET EM TODAY LADIES!!! Drop those football terms!

No, I did not come up with this genius snack

I typed "Superbowl food" into Google Images. This was the number seven result. Are those Lil' Smokies in correct formation?

When I go to a Superbowl party, I always bring something to eat to share with everyone else. I try really hard to bring homemade snacks because they're fresher and better for you, but guys will pretty much eat anything and they never notice. This year I think I'm going to make guacamole. And I usually bring some beer- Great White, Fat Tire, and Blue Moon are some of my favorites.

Or you can dive into the Cheeto, Rice Krispie treat, tortilla chip, mozzarella stick, Slim Jim, Lil' Smokie, sour cream, Velveeta, guacamole, cheddar, and salsa masterpiece above.

This Sunday is a big deal to him

This Sunday is a big deal to almost all of the male population. Its the Superbowl! The trophy, shown above, will be given to the NFL Champion team: the Indianapolis Colts or the New Orleans Saints.

Are you going to watch the game somewhere with your boyfriend? Are you hosting a Superbowl party at your house?

More Money for Timmy

The San Francisco Giants and their star pitcher Tim Lincecum are in arbitration. Timmy wants $13 million and the Giants want to pay him $8 million. I don't know the legalities of baseball salary arbitration, but I do know that a lot of baseball fans are watching this story unfold. Lincecum has two back to back Cy Young awards under his belt which should provide some nice leverage for his case. The Cy Young award is given to the best pitcher in the league. He's only 25 years old! I say the Giants should give Timmy whatever he wants.

Back in October, Timmy was cited for marijuana possession but the charges were dropped. He is such a good pitcher that the MLB didn't even care. Ask your man if he knows what Lincecum's nickname is. The answer I have been getting is "The Freak." Apparently he earned that name from his very unique pitching style and not from his long hair or lack of dental care. I guess now with this massive raise, he can spend some money on braces.

That Boys Got Hops

Pretty impressive jump by King James (aka LeBron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers).

Basketball spectators may use the term "hops" when referring to a jump. Lets do some translating:
Damn! He's got mad hops! = That guy can jump really high.
Every guy will know what you are talking about guaranteed if you throw this one out.

Broken Ice Skate/ Heel

The SJ Sharks are playing the Detroit Red Wings right now. One of the Red Wings players was on the ice, skating around like usual and then the blade of his skate fell off!!! Anyone know the guys name? He fell down, tried to get back up, and fell again! It was pretty hilarious and the play was still going on. He was practically crawling off the ice.
Isn't there like an equipment manager who checks out all their gear before they hit the ice?

Something similar happened to me a few months ago and I know how this guy feels. I went out and was wearing these cute black BCBG boots. I guess I was dancing pretty intensely because my damn heel fell off! So I had to hobble around the dance floor. Such a disaster. My dancing turned into limping. And of course I had decided to walk six blocks to the bar instead of taking a cab. By the end of the night I was hurtin'! Sports events totally relate to my life, right?
