Party on Bourbon!
Laissez Le Bon Temps Rouler! (Let the Good Times Roll!)
WHO DAT? Congratulations to the New Orleans Saints for their victory over the Indianapolis Colts in Super Bowl 44! In the meantime, I am counting down the days to beautiful warm weather and baseball season (Geaux Yankees!) At least, the Washington Capitals and Maryland Terrapins won today…at least, my day is not spoiled.
Super Bowl 2010: Colts vs. Saints
Let the game begin. I think I am looking forward to the commercials more this year, but I will cheering on the Colts (AFC represent!). No offense to New Orleans, but Indianapolis’ offensive prowess will be enough to make you wish for more Hurricanes than anyone can handle. My final score prediction is IND 27, NO 14. Leave your score prediction in the comment thread.
In honor of Super Bowl commercials, here is my favorite one from 2009.
Super Bowl Predictions
Super Bowl is here! Yay! While my team, the Pittsburgh Steelers, are not in the quest for a seventh Super Bowl title, I feel that this particular game will be well represented by the Indianapolis Colts and the New Orleans Saints.
The Indianapolis Colts are the AFC champions, and they defeated the New York Jets yesterday with a stellar offensive game. However, they need to play like this against the Saints in order to win the Super Bowl.
New Orleans won the NFC championship in overtime yesterday against a strong Minnesota Vikings team (at least, “Judas” Favre got his dues). Their key to victory will be to fire up Reggie Bush and to rely on their offensive prowess. However, you can’t rely on a 46-yard field goal to win a game.
My prediction on the final score: Indianapolis 27, New Orleans 14.
The Bachelor: Past Two Weeks in Review
The only thing I watch on TV is reality based programs. Why? I am a sucker for competition, as it is the one human emotion that brings out one’s true personality. That aside, I have been watching a lot of The Bachelor lately. It is a show that really displays female competitiveness to the extreme. This season has got to be one of the most crazy and insane episodes of The Bachelor that I have ever witnessed, as they are fighting over a man they barely know for the chance to marry him. Seriously, whatever happened to taking your time and meeting that special someone?
Case in point, look at the actual Bachelor himself: Jake, who is extremely good looking. Jake seems like a nice guy, but I am not certain if he is the man that I could imagine introducing to my parents. Imagine my father talking football with this pretty boy, and he would probably oust him to the corner (my guess is that he’s a Cowboys fan…this would not set well with my Redskins rabid father). The first episode really confirmed my suspicions we were really looking at a guy, who probably could not impress my athletic family. For the full disclosure, you are about to witness a guy, who really should not say that he even played football. Also, I think it is quite impossible to play football in evening gowns (though I have to admit it would be fun).

This is just one example of craziness that keeps me coming back to watch week after week. I could personally throw a football better than that guy, as I grew up around male cousins. This taught me the value of fighting for what you want.
The girls are another level of insanity. It’s the gift that keeps on giving. The competitiveness is at an all time high. The first episode saw some of the crazy ones eliminated, including a girl who made a joke about the landing strip. Just recently, we saw the elimination of Roslyn, the first female contestant who was eliminated for messing around with a staffer from the show.
It brings me to make a real good point about reality TV though. If you are crazy enough for putting yourself out there like these girls (and yes, even the Bachelor himself), then prepare for some of the jokes. All in all, I will keep you updated with some of the humorous events from the show. In the meantime, I wonder if they realize that they are making fools of themselves without the opportunity to become the Bachelorette (which is another reality TV show that I am hopelessly addicted to).
Roll Tide Roll!
Congratulations to Alabama for winning the BCS Championship! Regardless of what you may feel about the BCS (it sucks…yes, yes…I know), I have to admit that this was a good game.
