A whole Sunday without football. It stretches on for an eternity. Coming out of football hibernation is sad, but sort of freeing. I now have time to actually notice the five months of housekeeping that has piled up (and contemplate doing something about it). I actually cooked a weeks worth of meals and baked cupcakes.
If only I had cable. Then I could have gotten up at 0-dark-thirty to watch Serena's comeback and Federer's continued domination. Or I could have revived my passion for figure skating by watching the U.S. National Championships sans Michelle Kwan and Sasha "I'm gonna be a Hollywood star" Cohen. Once upon a time these were marquee events on network TV.

YouTube Luv
If polygamy were legal in this country, I'd marry both founders of youtube. I love this brillant creation. From the caveman commercials to that insane Elmo TMX, I can find everything. And sports rants are my favorite! Some of the best are on there: Dennis Green, Iverson (with a practice counter included), Herm Edwards, Coach Chaney, etc.
As for favorite commercials, the whole series of Leon the primadonna football player is there as well as the recent race for the Heisman commercial.

Diss Loyalty
I was talking to my brother about a man law posted on www.manlaws.com. A guy asked how long can you root for a team after it has moved from your city. Brother B was stunned.
He comes by this philosophy honestly. My mother is still mad at the (Brooklyn) Dodgers.
A pox and several plagues on the C@!#$ and the H@rn&#$!
Sorry Browns fans that B-more was party to your trauma initially. But you alone get the happily ever after award.
"Root for a team after it leaves?!!" he exclaimed in a truly horrified tone akin to Mora's infamous playoffs rant. "You don't do that!
"That guy is the type who takes a woman back after she cheated on him with his neighbor and his best friend and he caught her at the scene both times."

The agony of defeat
I guess I just have a super soft spot for those suffering from the agony of defeat. Awwwww. Especially if they're kinda cute!
I definitely know the feeling of doing all you can do and still not getting the prize in the end. I admire that athletes push it aside and, similar to salesman, come back for another round of it again and again.

Bookends
So my division playoff weekend started with one former hometown losing and ended with another former hometown winning. And my winning and losing picks came down to the skill of the Kickers.
It was as balanced as you can get in a truly uneven season.
Losing out on the plasma TV is worth a Patriots win. Particularly if they stop the C@!#$ next week.
Overall great tight games this weekend that kept me on the edge of my chair, yelling at the TV, and beseeching the pigskin muse for just a little extra assistance.
