My Teams.

Football season is coming to a close, the playoffs are underway. I am so thrilled that the Vikings are moving forward. They just beat the Cowboys and next week they will play the Saints for NFC championship. While I am basking in the glory of a Vikings ass handing to the Cowboys, I am a bit frightened about next week. Saints are having a great season. I guess I should be happy that the Vikings are doing so well and are making it far, but I would love it if just ONE of my teams played in the Superbowl. And since my #1 team, the Broncos are way out of the running I am putting on my Vikings gear and showing some love to my Minnesota roots. (Grandpa is from there.) I usually have a family get together at my Mom's for the Superbowl for my birthday. Really, a Superbowl party, Football has always ruled my family's life! Tho, I opt to not celebrate any more birthdays, they keep coming, so I drag my feet and put on a fake smile...."here's to one more year!" UGH! Anyway, back to football. I am seriously hoping and praying that the Vikings can pull out a win next time and make it to the Superbowl. What a cool gift that would be. (That and my tattoo! Come on Dad, I am waiting!)

The end of football will mean that I can now focus on the Utah Jazz. I love basketball, it is a close second to football in my book. My friend, Asia, says I must have a thing for big black men. HAHA. I enjoy watching and playing basketball. Always loved it. Being in Utah, it is easy to be a Jazz fan. Of course I have met more than once many of the team members. My favorite has been meeting Karl Malone - The Mail Man. And getting a chance encounter with John Stockton was awesome. They are seventh in the western conference right now. Not bad, not really good, but they still have a slight chance in the finals. OK, STOP LAUGHING! I know, I know, my teams aren't exactly the dream teams of the sports world, but I am loyal. They have their ups and downs and I bask in the glory of a winning season, and endure the scorn and laughter of those around me in their bad seasons. But I never give up!

Also NASCAR is about to start in Daytona next month. My driver is Kasey Kahne. I was a fan of Dale Earnhardt Sr. Of course he is now Dead. It took me a while to focus on a new driver. Some said that I should turn my attention to his son. No thanks, not really a huge fan of his. I decided to find a younger guy that will be around for a while.

So how can I go wrong with a young man, with great eyes BTW, who is pretty good at what he does, drives a DODGE and is sponsored by Budweiser? Cool thing about that is my husband works for Coca-Cola here in Cedar and they also distribute Anheuser-Busch. I get well supplied with items that sometimes have him on it!

So there is my sports takes for the moment. I hope it clears up the confusion of where my loyalties lie. I am the sports nut in our house. Tom will watch it with me, thank goodness he is supportive and I was able to bring him over to my side away from the Steelers! Tho once in a while he says to me, "Honey, Its just a game!" To which I have to tell him to, "Shut up and get out of this house!" I think he just says that to irritate me.
