My Heart Hurts....

...and I don't wanna talk about it!



I love you G-men, I always do
My blood runs red, but it also runs blue.
Even though our season is now said and done
And you blew it twice on short 4th and one.
Through cold games and bad calls, and even the good
I know that Eli is just misunderstood.
I was there when we lost Plax and when we lost to the Browns
I was there for converted and non-converted 3rd downs.
I was there for the touchdowns, the field goals, blocked kicks
I was there when we beat the Sea hawks, 44 to 6!
I was there to be crowned number one in the east.
I was there when they called us the NFC Beast!
We smiled we cried, we smiled some more
And now I feel your pain of a season 12 and 4
But we all make mistakes, your only just men
And next year I’ll suit up, all over again.
We’ll conquer the bad times, the good times the hard
But until then consider me a temporary Card!


Go Cardinals!

PLAYOFFS?!?! Recap

Well, I am one for four so I hope you didn't place any bets based on my picks...I told you they were purely emotional. So, what happened? Well, Round one, the pictures speak for themselves.

"Matty Ice" was "Matty Ice Cold." Mistakes, mistakes, mistakes (by the Falcons) lead the Cardinals to victory in their first home-field playoff game...in 60 YEARS!!! I just hope my comments about my diminishing football crush didn't effect his playing ability. Cards advance.

Poor Pennington. Four interceptions means it is mice and pumpkins for Chad Pennington because Cinderella isn't going to the ball, this time and Ray Lewis is one step closer to his "happily ever-after." Browns Ravens advance.

I think we are all asking the same question as Peyton. Where's the D? Manning tells jokes, he wears disguises, he's got a laser rocket arm...you want him to tackle, too? The Colts defense failed to show up and the Chargers took the O.T. victory. Phillip Rivers' huge mouth advances.

Do you know who he is? No? Don't worry about it, I'll tell you who he is, he is...TERRIBLE! I wouldn't let this guy play second string quarterback for my summer league team. And no, I don't have a summer league team, but if I did, he wouldn't be allowed to play!! Several times, I wondered, "is this guy just throwing the ball up and hoping for the best?" The answer is , "yes! that is exactly what he did!"
HIS EYES ARE CLOSED! I realize there is a guy tackling him, but he is also releasing the ball...he has no idea who he is throwing to or where the ball is going. So the stupid Eagles advance.

*Deep Breath* Okay, I am better now...

My Round 2 picks.

Titans over Ravens.
I just don't like what I saw from the Ravens this week.

Steelers over Chargers.
Phillip Rivers is just really annoying. No other reason.

Giants over Eagles.
Do you need to ask? Fine. Because we are the WORLD CHAMPION NY FOOTBALL GIANTS!

Arizona over Carolina.
I just feel bad for betraying Matty Ice, but this was pretty much a flip of the coin.


*GO G-MEN!*

PLAYOFFS!?!?!? Round ONE!

My purely emotional, please do not be offended, Round One, play-off picks.

Cardinals over Falcons
I am still not sure about the Cardinals over the Falcons. I am not ready to give up my football crush on Matty Ice but Kurt Warner is a former Giant and how many more chances is he gonna get? I still love you, Matt. Promise!

Vikings over Eagles
If I ever root for the Eagles, it'll be from a padded cell. Go Vikings!


Dolphins over Ravens
Miami is my Cinderella team. I am also not ready to stop believing in "happily ever-after!" Plus, I can't root against the home team!

Colts over Chargers
This was the easiest game for me to pick. Colts are a clrealy superior team. I wanna see a Manning Bowl and if that isn't reason enough, this is....




I've gotta save some for ROUND 2! When the Colts play the Titans. :P

Turkey Day: NFL Recap

I guess the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade looked like a better option than ever this year, considering all 3 NFL games were blow outs. Here is what you missed while you were flipping channels and eating Turkey:

The traditional Thanksgiving day game belongs to the Lions. This year you would have thought they would play a little harder considering it may be their only nationally televised game of the season. But the Detroit Lions, have developed their own, new tradition, LOSING… And losing badly!
Kerri Collins lost his first fumble of the season, but mistakes like those mean nothing when you are playing the Lions of Detroit. As a matter of fact, Kerri Collins probably could have stayed home and ate turkey. Better yet, put in the turkey! 47-10, Titans.


But don't worry, Detroit. Some of us thought of you on Thanksgiving...


While you were feasting on Turkey, the Cowgirls were feasting on the Seahawks. What is there to say about a 34-9 win over Seattle? Romo has 3 TDs in his first 3 drives and of course, an interception. Owens had 98 yards receiving and a TD. Seahawks, just laid back and took it.


The closest game of Turkey Day was the other birds, the Eagles’ 48-20 win over the Cardinals. Kurt Warner had three touchdowns passes, however he also had 3 intercepted passes to balance it out. It appeared McNabb, has learned a lot in his last 3 games. First that an NFL game can end in a tie, then that he can and will be benched and most recently throwing the ball to your own team makes it easier to win the game. But where does McNabb get all of his information???
When asked at a press conference Tuesday how he had learned he was still the starting quarterback of the Philadelphia Eagles.
"I was told by the janitor," said a smiling McNabb, who will open against the Arizona Cardinals here Thursday night.
"You know, me and him have a pretty good relationship around here. It's a pretty good conversation we had."

Football Fundamentals: What the @#$% is a "FREE KICK?"

I am sure while everyone was watching the best game of the week, (Giants v. Cards) they were distracted from appreciating the beauty that is WORLD CHAMPION NY FOOTBALL GIANTS FOOTBALL, by the question "What the @#$% is a free kick?"

In their desperate attempt to keep pace with an, obviously better, football team, the Cardinals attempted a free kick and no one knew what was going on. It is obvious that the Cards had been watching their ESPN Classics because the play was only ever used once, in 1968.

Not sure when this will ever be relevant, again; Maybe in another 20 years when someone forgets how stupid it is and tries it again, but its more likely to be a question on Jeopardy. So here it is:

Following the legal fair catch of any kick, the receiving team may choose to run a regular scrimmage play OR they may free kick the ball from the the yardline where the catch was made. Simply stated, a free kick following a fair catch is a kickoff with a chance for 3 pts. For the most part all the rules are the same as for a kickoff (i.e., teams 10yds apart etc.). The ball must be held and cannot be placed on a tee. So essentially, the Cards tried a 68 yards field goal.


We all knew he wasn't making a 68 yard field goal, so what did the Arizona Cardinals prove??? Simple. That they know more about football than Donovan McNabb! (yes, an NFL game may end in a tie!)


Just when you thought he couldn't get anymore stupid! He didn't know that you could tie in the NFL? Has he never watched a football game ever?
You only work (and barely) once a week, McSimspon...I mean McNabb. Take one of the other 6 days and read the rule book. The Cards did!
