Steelers Lose!!!

In a weekend with some dreadful results in the athletic world (I still maintain that the Browns were victims of horrible play-calling), it was nice to have some light at the end of the tunnel...The Patriots beat the Steelers. As I said to a couple of people last night, I almost felt as if the Browns had won--that's how excited I was!

And, of course, WVU is now 4-0 coming into a huge game against VT this weekend...for which I will be in attendance.

I have to laugh each Sunday at the volume of incoming phone calls I receive; Everyone wants to "talk football" and knows that I'm likely watching one game or another...I sort of feel badly for those who don't find football nearly as exciting as I, and who dare call me while the Browns are in the red zone...Unless you're family or you're as engrossed in the game as I, don't bother trying to reach me while Cleveland is playing.

On a similar note, I walked in to this, the computer lab, about 10 minutes ago, and have since carried on a conversation with Tim on the best and worst of the NFL uniforms. He is adamantly opposed to the Bengals uniforms. He has nothing good to say about them (though he does love their helmets), and is particularly miffed by the shadowing of the numbers. His favorite uniform? The Chicago Bears. We agreed that there's too much teal in the Jacksonville uniforms, that the Browns need to stay away from orange jerseys, and that the New York Giants need to completely revamp their away uniforms, as well as rethinking their horrible gray pants. We both like that Patriot and Eagle uniforms, and I also like the Falcons. I like the Titans uniform, while Tim feels that Tampa Bay boasts good style and colors. (Tim has just offered to give a list of his top 5 NFL uniforms...This is all even greater because he's straight and married and all...) :0)

Really, we did not need to waste precious minutes on such a thing, but perhaps I will be inspired by this particular conversation when I go to write 2 papers this evening (I have 3 due tomorrow, and 1 is finished...1 other one is well on its way, but I haven't started the third...fortunately, I have read, so writing it shouldn't be too much of a chore).

Now my schedule is all thrown off because I spent 10 minutes talking to Ben, who just called me to talk football (see comments about phone calls above). He told me he thinks my chances with Tom Brady are slim, but we agreed that, short of Ben Roethlisberger (since he's dating that golfer chick), Drew Brees and Carson Palmer were both good options. Of course, Carson is in some sort of relationship (he might be married now), and Drew probably is as well, but I guess that's the way it is when you're an NFL quarterback. We also deliberated over the pros and cons of me dating another Bengal: What would this world do with Chris and Kristen Fuamatu-Ma'afala?!? Haha. He's a little too scary for my taste anyway...:0)

Reading this entry, I feel like an 8th grader only interested in football because some cute boy who sits next to me in Algebra likes it. Of course, this is not the case, but I certainly don't deserve a seat on SportsCenter for my gametime analysis.

Anyway, productivity calls and, whether I like it or not, I must answer. On the plus side, I don't have to go to Field Ed. today, which will afford me 4 or 5 hours I hadn't planned into my schedule, so paper-completion is a very reasonable goal. Hurray! :0)

In conclusion, go Browns, go Tribe, go Mountaineers, go Redhawks, go Green! :0)
