Football Sunday!

So obviously for me and the football freak that I am the highlight of my weekend was Sunday's NFL Championship games. I was completely happy with the outcomes of the games. I would have possibly preferred the Ravens slightly more than the Patriots. I have some players on the Ravens team now that I'm not fond of whereas I'm pretty neutral when it comes to the Patriots.

I'm so glad the 49ers didn't make it! Of the 4 remaining teams the 49ers were my least favorite. Their coach comes off to me as a slightly classier version of the Jets coach Rex Ryan. And believe me that's not a compliment! I understand tough defense and trying to get the ball at all cost however, they constantly hack at the ball. I know it's part of the game to attempt to strip the other team of the ball, just gets slightly annoying to watch over and over again as the game goes on. Not to mention on numerous plays they seem to tackle to injure not tackle to stop the play. Yes, there's a difference in my mind. But the number one issue I have with the 49ers....now this is strictly the Cardinal fan in me coming out....whenever they've played my lovely Cards in recent years they act so macho, as if they were playing in the Super Bowl. In recent years when watching the 49ers play the Cardinals I always scream at the TV. Alright I think I've accurately described why I'm not a 49ers fan. Oh wait....don't even get me started on their fans. Saints fans were so harassed by 49ers fans that they had to put undercover police officers in the stands for the game yesterday. I also saw online earlier that one of the 49ers players that made 2 big time mistakes received death threats just hours after the team's loss. Not an example of a positive, peaceful fan base that's for sure! Definitely not a team I will be cheering for any time soon.

As I mentioned a few weeks back I thought it would be interesting if Eli could make it to the Super Bowl that is played in the stadium his brother's team plays at and now it's going to happen. I'm happy for the Giants. I will be rooting for the Giants come Super Bowl Sunday!

The best news of all from Sunday is that my boyfriend and I won his office football pool. They've been doing a pool that allows for someone to win per quarter for one of the games. We won not 1 but 2 different quarters. Yay for us!
