Musical Quarterbacks

~ JodiLea

Holy Crap, Batman!

Peyton Manning becomes a free-agent and the NFL goes insane. Coaches that already have excellent quarterbacks, who BTW, brought their teams to the last game of the playoffs & beyond. Just 2 months ago, people!  Are memories really that bad? Is Manning really that great?

The 49er and the Bronco management teams obviously think so. Manning was apparently worth the disloyalty and embarrassment of their incumbent star quarterbacks who,  just 2 months ago, brought them into the winner’s circle.

The dust is settling now that Peyton has chosen Denver to be his new home. Of course, that put Tim Tebow out of a job and into the hands of the NY Jets. So, now the Jets quarterback will compete with the “Tebowmania”. Or not.

Jed York, the 49er’s CEO, told Alex Smith (after Alex signed the 49er’s contract offer), “Thanks for choosing the 49er’s, Alex. Sorry it was a tough week.”

Oh, and, by the way Alex – meet Josh Johnson. You’ll be training him to replace yourself…

The Big Day For San Francisco

No matter what happens at Candlestick Park this afternoon – I am so proud of  “my boys” I could bust! I am already dressed out for the game and it’s only 11:00 am. I had to get dressed anyway, right? My little pre-game ritual helps me get into Game Mode. This is important to help the Force. Trust me.

A co-worker of mine is a 49er fan, but she is not allowed to watch their games anymore. She unfortunately made this comment to her mate: “I shouldn’t have watched the game. They always lose when I watch”.  She has not watched a live game since she opened her mouth. Her mate gives her live re-caps during commercials, but it’s not the same. Her mate assures her that the sacrifice she makes  is really appreciated, as he sends her to her room.  I feel so bad for her! I will admit that I’m secretly glad she’s not watching today’s game.

Not everyone in my family is a 49er fan. I don’t know exactly who these people are , because they act like 49er fans when they are around me. They are wrong, but they’re not stupid.

My 18 month old granddaughter is a 49er fan. Granted, she squeals “niners!” when she sees any football game on TV, no matter who is playing, but she knows who she is rooting for and that’s the important thing.  Bonus: she doesn’t drink beer. Her favorite blankie, binky and 49er bear is all she needs. Also, taking over grandma’s comfy chair is fun. Sometimes she will let me sit with her. I have to bring the cookies. 😉

Playoff Weekend is Here – Go Shopping!

NFL PLAYOFFS

Most women dread football season because 1) they don’t like football, and 2) their husbands/boyfriends do.

To them, I say Get over it already! Read a book, listen to your iPod, knit, prune your roses so they can go dormant over the winter months, walk the dog. Go shopping!

Football’s season is the shortest of all the popular sports. The Playoffs means there are only a couple more games left.  Playoffs weekend has games morning and evening Saturday and Sunday. Give your football fan the chance to enjoy themselves.  This means no whining or acting like a big baby while the game’s are on. Got that?

My hubby does not like shopping. So he behaves himself while I’m watching football. Sometimes he will even watch with me. I have a tendency to become violent  emotional, especially during the 49er’s games.  When I’m swearing at the referee’s, yelling at the other team, or screaming with joy, I tend to be a little loud. OK – really, REALLY  LOUD.

There is no “ladylike” in football…
