My take on sports.

by Steph on April 27, 2008

Bill and I were discussing sports. Okay, it was more like he was telling me all the reasons I should never, ever discuss sports with anyone who knows anything about them. He really takes issue with the fact that I pick my favorite teams based on the players whose personalities and/or looks I like best.

For example, I’m on the hunt for a new football team. Since Brett Favre retired, I have no real desire to root for Green Bay. I’m leaning towards Peyton Manning because his commercials make me giggle. Plus, he was hilarious on SNL. Wait. I mean, I’m totally leaning towards the Colts ’cause they have some super-awesome offense…or something like that. Of course, if the Chiefs get a quarterback that’s even reasonably good-looking and/or personable, this is subject to change. (They are my husband’s favorite team, after all. But he’s a poseur about it – he didn’t get a Chiefs tattoo like someone else we know who is a REAL fan. Right, Becky?)

Another example, my favorite basketball team is the Toronto Raptors. All because of Chris Bosh and his YouTube video. How can you not love that guy and thus, love his team? I admit, I might not have realized Chris Bosh played for the Raptors until I saw him in a post-playoff game press conference, but that does not mean I can’t be totally loyal to them now, right? Yeah, exactly right.

So, because I think other chicks probably approach sports like I do, I decided to start posting my thoughts on various sports-related stuff. Also, Bill said I shouldn’t discuss this stuff publicly, and we all know what happens when someone says I shouldn’t do something, don’t we?

Stay tuned for my thoughts on how baseball could become more watchable and why NASCAR almost sucks nowadays.

Right! He calls himself a fan?? :) I am the one who is branded for life with an arrowhead tatoo!! Of course I LOVE it. I think I have the best of both worlds when it comes to sports. I understand them as much as any man out there, (thanks Bill for teaching me everything I know when it comes to anything sports related) however, I too tend to make some decisions based on how cute they are or how good they look in their tight uniforms! Can’t wait to read your thoughts!!!

So do I!

However, I will ALWAYS vote for ANY Boston team. I don’t know why. Boston is my town even though I’ve never lived there. I think it’s a past life team. If Boston isn’t playing then I’ll root for NY. Otherwise I don’t care about any other teams. Just specific cute players on teams. *nods*

Oh, and I like all the new stuff on your homepage! :)

Becky – I shamed him tonight by calling him out about not having his love for the Chiefs emblazoned forever on his body. Hee.

d – I knew other women picked like I do. Hee.

Missy – I do that, too!! If I don’t have a player and Bill’s not rooting for anyone, I pick by colors.

All y’all – I’m waiting for boys to find this and make fun of us. Because it will be HILARIOUS when Becky hands them their asses on comments. Hee.
