Congrats to the Steelers

The Steelers are now the most winningest team when it comes to the Super Bowl . Santanio Holmes was named MVP; although I think it could have gone to James Harrison. But anyway congrats to the Steelers. Hopefully, they can enjoy it while everyone goes on about how the Cards got shafted.

Super Bowl Sunday!!

It's every football fan's favourite day of the year!!! I mean, sure, I'm disappointed the Colts aren't in it but we'll get 'em next year.

So I was trying to decide who to cheer for. I ripped apart both teams pretty bad all season long. But when looking back on my posts this season, I absolutely cannot morally cheer for the Cards. I have such a hate on for the two west divisions that I can't do it. So go Steelers! Plus my Uncle Doug will be disappointed in me if I cheer against the Steelers haha. So here's my letter to Big Ben:

Dear Mr. Roethlisberger,

Please don't get sacked 7 times and blow the game.

Love, Barbie.

Girls' guide part 4 - Dear Vince Lombardi trophy, will you be mine?

Ok ladies, it's been awhile since I've written a post for you, so here's one for the girls.

Super Bowl Sunday is one of the most important days on the sports calendar. The parties, the work pools, the beer, the wings, the pizza, the half-time show, and oh yeah...the game! So what day on a woman's calendar would this compare to? The answer is simple Valentine's Day.

Now I know you're thinking, "What?!?! You're comparing the Hallmark romance holiday to the biggest day in sports??" But think about it.

Hype! Both days are so hyped up and the hype can build up unrealistic expectations for the single and attached alike. Now that makes sense for Cupid, but how does that work for football? Well obviously, every season you want your team to be in the Super Bowl! However, with a salary cap and a competitive league, that's just not going to happen. So most years, you would be single for the Super Bowl and even if you are attached, there's a chance your team won't win (or plays uncharacteristically bad *cough last year's Patriots cough cough*).

So, let's say you're single (i.e. your team doesn't make it to the big show), you still care about the Super Bowl, just like you would still care about Valentine's Day if you're boy/girlfriendless. It's a bittersweet emotion. You're bummed that your team isn't there, but you're going to make the best of it and go to that party with your friends, just like how you'd have that girls' night with all your single girls.

Now, if your team does make it to the Super Bowl and wins, it's like having your perfect Valentine's Day with Prince Charming, champagne, romance, flowers, diamonds, etc.

So girls, when your boyfriend/husband/whatever, talks non-stop about how excited he is for the Super Bowl, understand this is his Valentine's Day. Don't get upset when your house gets bombarded by 10 men drinking beer and wiping chicken wing sauce off their face. It'd be like him getting upset at you for loving those diamond earrings he just bought you a little too much.
