A Sports Filled Weekend!

Well it's back to some hot temps for us. Good news is the latest heat wave will be short. By Thursday the temps will go back down to a more pleasing degree.

We of course watched plenty of football this weekend. We even got to see some of the ASU game. I hope they have a decent season. I was happy to see the Cardinals came from behind to win! Yay! I'm sure everyone saw how horrible the Cowboys loss was on Sunday night. I was walking through a store earlier today when I spotted some Romo jerseys on display. I couldn't help but wonder how many they've sold in the last 2 days? Likely none! I can only imagine the conversations concerning Romo on talk radio this week. This city isn't exactly that high on Romo anyway. He definitely faces tons of criticism which truly surprised me when I first moved here.

We also watched the women's final at the US Open on Sunday afternoon. Now I've never been much of a fan of the Williams sisters. I've had times when I've tolerated them but it's been awhile. I could not believe the scene that Serena Williams caused at the US Open. I don't care that she is from America I will not root for her. I was embarrassed to see an American athlete act like that. She was only fined $2000 for her non-stop tirade which in my opinion is NOT nearly enough. A fine of a measly $2000 is embarrassing as well! I guess Miss Williams should be glad she's a woman and in the sport of tennis because if she was a man in the sport of football, basketball, or even baseball the fine would have been more substantial. Can you imagine David Stern tolerating a player berating a ref during the NBA Finals? Hmm, NO! I could see him issuing a fine and possibly a one game suspension.

Just a little side note...this is somewhat unbelievable to me. I went to Petsmart a few days back. I saw these cute rawhides made in the shape of pretzels. They are new to the market, part of a line of "ballpark" themed rawhides. They looked good to me! Perfect size for the boys in a somewhat challenging shape too. The other night I decided it was pretzel time for the boys for their evening snack. Cody worked on his for about 5 minutes then decided it wasn't worth it to him. Then astonishingly 5 minutes later Simon decided it wasn't worth it to him either. I have no clue what is wrong with these brand new pretzel rawhides but neither of my boys wanted them. Simon is my hungry hungry hippo so when he turns it down there's certainly something wrong with the rawhides. The pretzels continue to sit around here but neither dog has changed his mind about them. I struck out with both dogs! That's a first!
