Finally something relevant to post on this open thread. Hubby and I flew down to TPA on Friday from PHL for the weekend, and the USAir plane had originated in PIT. Plane full of Steelers maniacs. So FYI, the Burghers are representin down here in partly sunny, 85-ish Florida.
Now time to get it together and head out to catch our flight home. Important not to be late, the stadium is near the airport….
This Saints/Falcons game is going to be a nail-biter. ATL is not going to roll over and die just because. Finally got to hear the Who Dat cheer Drew instituted this season. Well played.

@asiangrrlMN: Yeah, I get the feeling that he used up a lot of his remaining magic last year. You guys may get a big dose of Bad Brett this year.
Can one announcer please mention that Favre chose to skip training camp when they go on and on about Favre and the receivers being out-of-sync?
“Favre has no confidence in these guys (the receviers).” What the fuck will it take for them to say, “Favre is sucking right now.” They are blaming the receivers. Favre: I can’t trust them right now. Well, maybe they don’t fucking trust you! And, he just got the fuck picked off AGAIN. OK. Defensive interference, so not a pick, but still. Darryl Johnston just blamed the receiver–again.
@stuckinred: Yes. Maybe. Or, perhaps if I show some cleavage and talk in breathless tones. Or, if I fellate Favre, but no chance of the last thing happening.

The Gopher women played an exhibition last night. The real season starts next week at Clarkson. I have become a big fan of the women’s game. It’s a lot slower, which is too bad, but I might actually prefer no-check rules.
I have to admit that I’m not into the college game (men’s or women’s), or even the minors- even though the Wings’ farm club plays within walking distance of my apartment. Call me jaded.

@Andy K: I’ve been a college hockey fan longer than an NHL fan. My father was a professor at Harvard when I was little, and at Michigan in high school, with three years in the college hockey wilderness of Philadelphia in between.
I’ve really only gotten into women’s hockey in the last year. My father and I had gone to every Frozen Four since 1990 until last year, but it’s finally become so large and commercialized that we decided that we decided we were done with it. We looked for something else to do as a trip, and chose the women’s Frozen Four over the DIII championships.
The University of Michigan needs to get off its ass and start a women’s team. Minnesota, Ohio State and Wisconsin already have one, and Penn State is starting both a men’s and a women’s team in a couple of years. Wayne Fucking State has a women’s team, for god’s sake. Finlandia, in DIII, is the only other women’s team in the state.
Almost forgot to share this: My son’s little brother, Jordan “Newman” P., scored on a two-point conversion for the East Grand Rapids third/fourth grade Pioneers yesterday in a 42-0 romp over Wyoming Park.
I’ve gotta start bringing this kid out on the town with me- he’s a total chick-magnet. Biggest kid on his team (not fat, just tall and filled-out), outgoing, handsome and cute at the same time, and super k3wl for an 8-year old.

I have to admit that I’m not into the college game (men’s or women’s), or even the minors- even though the Wings’ farm club plays within walking distance of my apartment. Call me jaded.

@Nethead Jay: Ta to you, too.
Damn it. This game is dragging. It needs to end now.

Well I for one am sick of hearing Lance Moore’s name. I sure am glad he wasn’t trying for the long ball just now.

Isn’t it interesting how the teams that “must” win. . .win?
Andy K
@asiangrrlMN:
Agreed.
Wishing I was at the sports bar right now. I can’t even pick up my CBS affiliate here to see what’s going on in the AFC.

@stuckinred: They just wanted it more and left it all on the field.
@Andy K: No kidding. I am DVR’ing the Twins game, so I could watch that, I suppose, while waiting for the 3 p.m. game.

@Andy K: I’ve been a college hockey fan longer than an NHL fan. My father was a professor at Harvard when I was little, and at Michigan in high school, with three years in the college hockey wilderness of Philadelphia in between.
I’ve really only gotten into women’s hockey in the last year. My father and I had gone to every Frozen Four since 1990 until last year, but it’s finally become so large and commercialized that we decided that we decided we were done with it. We looked for something else to do as a trip, and chose the women’s Frozen Four over the DIII championships.
The University of Michigan needs to get off its ass and start a women’s team. Minnesota, Ohio State and Wisconsin already have one, and Penn State is starting both a men’s and a women’s team in a couple of years. Wayne Fucking State has a women’s team, for god’s sake. Finlandia, in DIII, is the only other women’s team in the state.

@asiangrrlMN: No cable but a DVR? How do dat work?
asiangrrlMN
@stuckinred: Gasp! My innocent ears have never heard such a thing!
@stuckinred: I bought a DVR (not TiVo). Best thing evah (and mad props to my bro for finding it for me).

Saints ain’t goin for no stinkin tie here!

@asiangrrlMN: So you have the digital over the air setup and that does it? Huh. . .

@asiangrrlMN: Do you have it hooked up to a TV with an antenna and what kind did you get.

Almost forgot to share this: My son’s little brother, Jordan “Newman” P., scored on a two-point conversion for the East Grand Rapids third/fourth grade Pioneers yesterday in a 42-0 romp over Wyoming Park.
I’ve gotta start bringing this kid out on the town with me- he’s a total chick-magnet. Biggest kid on his team (not fat, just tall and filled-out), outgoing, handsome and cute at the same time, and super k3wl for an 8-year old.

Oh crap! Thomas’ knee was not meant to bend in that direction!!

@madmommy: Looks like the Illini is ok!

Well crap, I want to go swim my laps before the Y closes, OT is not a help!
Nethead Jay
@madmommy: Yeah, that looked bad. Was glad to see him walk off the field under his own power.

@stuckinred: @JPL:
Yes. It’s…this one (though I did not buy it at kmart). I got it on sale, too! I got it before it died (the product line, not my DVR).

Game over. Sigh of relief. (Int. by Antoine ‘he’s so fine’ Winfield). Now, mebbe I can see overtime for the Falcons/Saints game.
Update Infinity and Beyond: I get to see overtime in Saints’ land! Woot!
madmommy
Looks like Thomas’ knee is recovered!
stuckinred
Chit, the Falcons and Bravo’s taking gas at the same time!
asiangrrlMN
@stuckinred: I get to see the former! And, hahahaha on the latter (I have a good friend who is a baseball fan of Atlanta, so we have a friendly rivalry going).
Holy shit! Missed FG by the Saints! Noooo! Do not cut away from the game to the postgame show! Aaaaaragh! Go Birds.
@madmommy: Totally and completely. NO excuse!
And, go Colts.
madmommy
WTF?!!? Dammit! Shanked the kick.

YES!

@Michael D.: Way to go, Birds!
@madmommy: Life as a field goal kicker in the NFL is cruel, indeed.
madmommy
Grrr! Boy, did it get deathly quiet in the Dome all the sudden?
No excuse for Hartley missing that kick. From Super Bowl hero to goat in three short games.
