The Vikings Are Conquered (Part II)

~ JodiLea

All righty then!  😉

I happy-danced an extra five minutes. Not only did the guys beat the Vikings, but they ran over them – by 20 points!

Jim Harbaugh has his work cut out for him  as far as the new guys go. He did some chewing out this evening, and I’m sure when films are viewed tomorrow, he will further emphasize the error of their ways. I won’t go into all the details. If you watched the game, you know what I’m talking about, and the commentators already beat that horse.

In fact, the commentators tonight beat every horse there was in the NFL last season. We missed plays tonight because they would not stop with their replays and stats from last year.  Stop living in the past and watch the games happening in 2013. And if you don’t have enough trivia and stats to blab about yet – then do us a favor and SHUT UP!

Holy Mute Button, Batman.

What The NFL Won’t Tell You About Football

~ JodiLea ~ 2 Comments

If you are a follower of Not Pretending (to be sane), you know about my obsession love for football, and the SF 49ers. During the season I often post about the players, the games, etc. Sometimes these posts are rantings about what pissed me off during the latest game. There’s always at least one thing…

You aren’t into football… (what!!?), don’t worry. There is a lot of entertainment during a game that you can enjoy without knowing a thing about downs, off-sides, or shotguns. I will point out some of these little known ‘perks’, and urge those who don’t like football, to sit down and actually watch a game. You may enjoy it ;-). Better yet, you may even find a ‘perk’ not listed here – if you do, please put it in a comment OR submit a form from the Etc. page! I would love to add it to my list.

Perks Not Recognized by the NFL:

  • There’s dancing. If you don’t believe me, check this out
  • The tantrums. A coach can out-tantrum any 3-year old. They foam at the mouth when things are really going badly. I agree that its immature behavior – that being said, it is so damned funny!
  • Sports announcers* having to take back what they just said. (i.e. they predict what the player will do and then the player doesn’t do it).  I LOVE it when this happens! They think they know everything about football. Even what the players and coaches are thinking.
  • Trick Plays. My favorite was the field-goal that morphed into a touchdown.
  • Fisticuffs. There are a lot more of these skirmishes between players nowadays. If you like boxing or hockey, you might find these amusing.
  • Muscular butts in tight pants or not. I can’t decide if ESPN’s  photo-shoots of naked athletes is tacky or awesome. Why didn’t they do this in the 80’s when Steve Young was so hot? Sigh…
* The commentators/announcers often get on a “theme” about a certain player (on the non-49er team). If you are sick, sick, sick of that player’s name, or worse, their dumb nick-name – the ‘mute’ button on your remote will take care of this issue.
Go 49er’s!!

Hanes Announces New Line Of Athletic Socks

Hanes®, the leader in sock sales in the United States, will be competing with Nike and Reebok for a place among the manufacturers of wardrobe for professional athletes.

“We’re very excited here at Hanes,” said Richard Noll, Hanes CEO. “Our new product has been tested with athletes in every sport that requires the wearing of socks. They will NOT fall down.

He went on to explain about Hanes’ new elasticizing method that keeps socks up better than the current athletic socks. Not only that, but inside the socks are woven fibers that support an athletes feet, like a women’s support hose would do. His praise made this reporter want to run out and buy some.

“It’s only a formality now,” said Mr. Noll. “Every team will want these superb socks.” “We (Hanes) plan to ship a case of them to the 49ers running back, Frank Gore, who was fined by the NFL during the NFC Championship game because one of his socks had fallen down.”

That fine, inspired a research scientist (and big-time fan of the San Francisco 49ers) at  Hanes to create a non-falling sock. Because apparently, you aren’t properly dressed if your socks are down. The debut of the new socks is on-hold pending NFL approval.

Seriously – would you mess with this guy?  FrankGore
