…FifG! That sounds like a joke, but seriously, FifG was the third member of a Roger Goodell/Gerald McCoy split screen on Thursday night. Which is really, extremely hysterical. Attending the NFL draft was amazing, and I would highly recommend it. I have tons to say about the event, and I sort of already said it. […]
I am taking a small FifG hiatus, due to lots of writing on Chicks in the Huddle, the holidays, and annoyingly lingering illness. BUT, this one made a small post worthwhile. Devin Aromashodu: deh-vin ah-roh-mah-shah-doo Let’s put it in a sentence (because it’s fun!). Said Bob to his friend Shadoo whence brownies are baking: That […]
I’ve already mentioned that I hated football when I was little. Honestly, I never thought I would overcome the sincere dislike I had for the sport. I was one of those only-watch-the-Super-Bowl-and-then-only-pay-attention-to-the-halftime-show people. (Yes, I used to love the halftime shows. Sequins? Loved. Random children with flags? Loved. Oddly perky dancers in top hats? Loved.) […]
“Hello, Coach.” Touching words, ladies. Don’t believe me? Well, tomorrow is NFL draft day, one of the best football days of the year. I honestly hesitated to write about the big day in the blog, because I know the draft is considered must see tv for only the most die-hard football fans, but I think […]
It pains me to write this at the moment, given my fair Buccies’ two consecutive losses, but I didn’t manage to write it before last week’s horrendous Monday night game, so I’m writing it now. Perhaps it will lift me out of the football doldrums. Reason number four for becoming a football fan is that […]
As a credit to my keen sense of “things” and “how it is” and such, I’ve come to grasp the fact that an object at rest stays at rest, and a nonfoobtall-liking person like football stays not liking football. As a credit to my “visionary nature” and “unmitigated sense of purpose,” I’m going to keep […]
New 49ers coach Mike Singletary played on the Super Bowl winning Chicago Bears team in ’85, which means he was in the Super Bowl Shuffle. My parents were Bears fans, so we bought the VHS tape of the Shuffle, and I loved it–even in the Punky Brewster days. But seriously, what’s not to love? The […]
All right, let’s review. The #1 reason to like football was Sense of Community. That will appear on the test, so please write it down. Everyone got it? Great, let’s move on. I saw Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist last night. I really liked it. Anyone else seen it? Even beyond my ever-so-slightly inappropriate crush […]
Reader mail: I’ve been reading your blog, though I must say, I still don’t get football! First of all, I am so excited to have a reader, much less reader mail. And, ok yes, the reader in question is a friend of mine. But still, very exciting. (Also, I hope it’s ok that I published […]
