My Beloved Timmy, Orton, and Pretty Quinny

Red rover, red rover, send a second round pick on over.  That's right....trade week is coming to a close.  Ladies, this is like the Bachelotte, but even better because teams can kick a player to the curb and still ask for a new one.  No need to settle for your one and only true soul mate.  Unless of course your team spent a first round pick last year on a QB that is suppose to become a franchise leader to some and a complete failure to others.  And in that case, we need to bring in Chris Harrison himself to announce the final rose as it is distributed to Mr. Tim Tebow.  

I could just see the ceremony now. 

"Tebow, will you accept this rose?"

"Yes, I will accept.  And I promise you one thing, a lot of good will come out of this. You will never see any player in the entire country play as hard as I will play the rest of the season. You will never see someone push the rest of the team as hard as I will push everybody the rest of the season.  Wait...perhaps I've said this one before.  Either way, I will take the rose."

But wait, there's more.  Just as the Bach let's the rules bend and gives us the most dramatic season ever, Orton is still here and ready to claim his spot.   No trade to Miami.  No beautiful beaches, no beautiful women, and no tearful reunions with Brandon Marshall.   I always imagined that they would run in slow motion, embrace, and a few tears would role down their cheeks. 

And so how does Orton accept his rose??  With a little, "In Yo Face, Timmy!" Not really, but it's what I like to imagine.  Everyone loves a little drama.

And what about Brady Quinn you might ask?  Well, he's just pretty.  So how about we keep him for marketing purposes.  Feel free to flex for me at any time Pretty Quinny.  

So....will the 3QBs be the next Three Amigos and sing my little buttercup and save the town of Santo Poco? We shall have to wait and see.

xoxo,
Kat

Dear NFL,

As I begin my day today, I have a new sense of comfort and relief about us.  As you know, you and I have a special relationship.  You are there for me at home, in person, on the radio, and more importantly in my heart.  And even though we always spend a little time apart over the summer, I felt completely lost with the thought of you not coming back to me this fall.  I felt incomplete.  I felt empty.  

Already last night and this morning, you are more present than ever.   You give me updates about our future and there seems to just be a buzz about you.  You listened to what I needed and I can definitely see that you are making an effort which means the world to me.  NFL, we have been through so much together.  From the early days when I couldn't put down the Bronco Brick, the memories of our Deja Vu Championship, the freezing cold games in the snow, the tears when I was pregnant when you scored, and games when I lost my voice from pure excitement.  We have been through it all.  

So, I am sorry that I doubted you coming back to me this fall.  But it just shows me more and more that I cannot live with out you.  NFL....you complete me.  You make me whole.  And I cannot wait for a beautiful season to come.  

xoxo, 
Kat

Perfect for Football AND Jacob Lovers


LOVING this video.  NFL players AND Jacob??  Could it get any better?  I think not.  (Well, perhaps only if my beloved Timmy was in there).

Dear Cutler,

I have pondered all week about this.  Just what do I say to you?  Do I include explicit language?  Do I just say, "I told you so"?  Do I feel grateful that I once asked if you were a fat kid and made you carry my purse?  Or do I just simply laugh....along with the rest of the nation?  Decisions, decisions. 

However, I think the tweets and pictures say it all. 

I have to admit Jay, I find pure joy watching your failure.  I experience moments of giddiness when I come across one of these gem pictures and know that there are so many others that think and laugh like me. 


I have loved listening to Mike & Mike and The Drive as they dissect your pouty face expressions, lack of knee brace, and poor leadership.

So now, let's take a look at some of the tweets & comments out there:
  • Alfred Williams, Fmr Bronco, co-host on The Drive - "The game was just too big for Cutler.  Just too Big."
  • Maurice Jones-Drew, Jaguars RB - "All I'm saying is that he can finish the game on a hurt knee... I played the whole season on one...
  • Ross Tucker, Frm Redskin, Brown, Patriot, etc. - "I've hurt my knee playing football 4 times. Never once did I then stand up on sidelines afterwards."
  • Anthony Armstrong, Redskins WR - "Knee-gate in Chicago"
  • Darnell Dockett, Cardinals DL - "If I'm on chicago team jay cutler has to wait till me and the team shower get dressed and leave before he comes in the locker room!"
  • Maurice Jones-Drew, Jaguars RB - "Hey I think the urban meyer rule is effect right now...Whtn the going get tough...QUIT"  (I love the fact this is a Cutler insult...however, I ignore that it also bashes my beloved Meyer.)
  • Mark Schlereth, Frm Bronco, co-host The Drive and ESPN - "As a guy who had 20 knee surgeries you'd have to drag me out on a stretcher to Leave a championship game!"
  • Matt Barnes, Lakers forward -  "I can't believe Jay Cutler hasn't even TRYED (sic) to come back.. This is to go to the Super Bowl.. That's crazy"
  • Roman Oben, former Giants and Bucs OT - "Jay Cutler must answer the critics about his toughness, or lack there of.."
  • Kerry Rhodes, Cardinals safety - "Cmon cutler u have to come back. This is the NFC championship if u didn't know! ... Kerry Rhodes speaks."
  • Derrick Brooks, former Buccaneers LB  - "HEY there is no medicine for a guy with no guts and heart"

Why do I care Jay?  Why did your lack of leadership change the power of Twitter and the Media?  Why did your "fans" burn your jersey?  Well, because it is just so damn disappointing.  
You were right there Jay....With the championship at your freaking fingertips.  And whether your "2nd degree MCL sprain" is legit or not, your demeanor on the sidelines was a joke.  And to finally quote Big Al from The Drive, "As fans, we do not want starters....we want finishers".  Finishers Jay.  Quarterbacks that can take us to the finish line.  Leaders that finish the season with all their bumps and bruises.  Finishers.

So thank you Cutler.  You have made this week very entertaining.  

xoxo,
Kat

America's QB, Not So Much

For many years I have despised Brett Favre.  I don't really know why, but he really just annoyed the heck out of me.  I loved watching him lose (maybe not quite as much as I enjoy Cry Baby Cutler losing) but still, I would get a chuckle every time I saw him throw an interception or incomplete pass.  Everyone would ask, "How can you hate America's Quarter Back?"

HA.  Because now others are quickly jumping onto my "Hate Brett Fav-re" Team.  In case you are not on ESPN, listening to sports talk radio, or tune out anything football, you can read the low down here.  Basically, the NFL is quickly investigating allegations that Fav-re sent very inappropriate texts and pictures to a former Jets employee.  

First of all Fav-re, this young little lady could probably be your daughter.  Did you meet her at Granddaughter's dance recital?  Or perhaps at the corner high school car wash?   Either way, you are suppose to be a role model.  A person that kids can look up to and want to be some day.  Your wife, Deanna has stood by your side, and you used to stand by hers, even when she battled breast cancer. Ouch.

But now...you are sending inappropriate texts.  And lets just be clear that inappropriate texts = pictures of the man down under, little Fav-re, The Little General, Princess Sofia, or from Varsity Blues, "purple-headed yogurt slinger, and uh Pedro." 
Yes the Mr. All American QB is now joining the lists of Ben Worthlessberger, Kobe Bryant, Lawrence Taylor, and the Once Great Tiger Woods.  And some of you may say that its only accusation and Good Ol' Fav-re isn't guilty just yet.  But as my soon to be BFF said, "When there's smoke...there's usually fire."  So how does that retirement look to ya now, Fav-re??

Ian O'Connor from ESPN couldn't have said it better after Monday night's game, "He just looks like a man from Mississippi who made a mistake. A man who should have kept the door closed on those recruiters from the north, and sat this last season out."  You can read more here.

Foot Stompin' Jam

On my way to work, I jammed out to Garth's "Callin on Baton Rouge".  I stomped my foot and banged on the steering wheel as if it was a Friday afternoon in July. 


And then I realized that it wasn't just the great lyrics, catchy tune, and images of Garth smashing guitars that made me Oh-So-Excited about this Jam. 

Baton Rouge is in Louisiana.  And so is New Orleans.  And what is going on in New Orleans tomorow night?!?!?  FOOTBALL baby!

That's right, the NFL season kicks off tomorrow.  So don't forget to ask your sports lover tonight who he thinks will win the season opener between the two great QBs.  Saints or the Vikings?  Drew Brees vs Bret Favre?  (Go Saints!)
