See you there!!!!

Yes.... we all saw it... Brady goes down opening game of the season. Then the breaking news....

Brady has a torn ACL and is going to be out for the rest of the season. Shocking... yes. But what I find truly shocking is the reaction from avid football fans. People cheering and getting excited over a player suffering a serious injury.. one that probably ended his season and coul potentially be career ending. That is simply appalling to me... I just don't understand how anyone can be happy or get excited about someone being hurt. Can you imagine how Tom Brady feels? Going out to play his opening game, looking forward to the season ahead, and then to go down with an injury. Only to find out later that its a torn ACL which means a long long recovery and his hopes for the season are crushed.

How can people be so inhumane?

Ok. So it is opening Football Sunday and I am already sick of only having the Patriots game to watch on TV. I put up with it last year but I am not having it this year. So I was wondering if there are any Sports Bars anyone can recommend in the Boston Area. In San Diego I had my Sunday ritual which would consist of waking up early, flying solo to the Sports Bar, sitting at the bar, grabbing some breakfast and a beer and watching all the games. I loved it! I want to get back to doing that so I can catch all of the games... rather then getting stuck just watching the Pats. If anyone has any recommendations for Sports Bars I would love to hear it. Its a plus if the bar has a variety of fans, as in not just Patriots fans. I know that is rather unlikely up here. In San Diego it was much more common since there are soo many transplants, and it made for very interesting conversation. I know though  the likelihood is that I will be walking right into the Lion's (Patriot's) lair decked out in my Giants gear.... but the truth is I don't care.... I'm a big girl and I can deal.

So if anyone has any recommendations...please share...  I can't stand being subject to only the Patriots games all season....ugh!!!

Thanks!!

So with the start of preseason I got into the hype and once again formed a Sportsline Fantasy Football League.... despite the fact that I had been vowing that I would not do it again. OH well!!! I set it up early and there is an early draft.... it always makes it more interesting that way! So if you want to see how good your skillz are then you should join. It is a private league so hopefully avoid getting dead teams and will only attract serious, competitive, yet fun players!!

Intersted???!!!!!

DROP ME A MESSAGE IF YOU WANT THE PASSWORD!!!!!!

You know you missed me...LOL! Well I am back after my somewhat long hiatus.

"Just when I thought I was out...they pull me back in"

I would like to apologize for any of my icy posts as of recent. I have been going a bit of a rampage... My iciness has developed over the past 3 weeks from being a Giants fan living in Boston. First I had to listen to Pats fans already awarding themselves the Lombardi trophy and making jokes about how many points they were going to beat us by etc... along with the plans for their victory parade before they even played the SB. Now I have had to listen to some Pats fans whinning about how they are still better.. how they should have won... how it was rigged and other conspiracy theories. I am just fed up... so I apologize but this is what happens from day in and day out of being in hostile territory...

So I apologize for some of my scathing comments as of recent.

The Giants upset the Patriots to win the Superbowl! Now what do you have to say? For weeks I have had to listen to this nonsense on various sports shows and morning radio shows about how the Giants did not stand a chance. Premature talks of books entitled "19-0 The Undefeated Season" and plans for a Superbowl Championship parade here in Boston already being put into effect. All the time I kept thinking... but they haven't won yet??!!! Everyone had pretty much handed the Lombardi trophy over to the Great Pats. I was incredulous. It isnt like I was 100% positive that my Giants were going to pull the upset off. It was more that I was surprised by the lack of respect everyone had for the Giants. We came into the playoffs and knocked off the 3 top seeded teams on the road. That itself is a great feat. Yet we still got no respect. Everyone already pronounced the Great Pats the Victors! I felt like I was living in an altered reality from everyone else. The game I watched in which the Patriots beat the Chargers was anything but impressive. The Patriots won... yes. But they did not play very good. They beat a Ladanian Tomlinsonless Chargers team with an injured Rivers and Gates.... And they just narrowly pulled that off. Immediately after that game I turned to my boyfriend (diehard Pats fan) and said "The Patriots better get their $H*% together. If they show up to play the Giants like they did vs the Chargers they are going to get beat." He shrugged unconcerned with a smirk playing on his face. That seems to have been the same response all Bostonians had to the thought that the Patriots could be beat... and by the Giants at that. They completely scoffed at the idea. Well reality came crashing down last night....along with their beloved Tom Brady as he was sacked and knocked down numerous times by the suffocating Giants Defense. At the end of the game reality hit.... The Giants beat the Patriots... ruining their undefeated season and securing the Superbowl Championship! So my question to you Pats fans is... "Now what do you have to say??"
