I love football!! For years, I was a HUGE college football fan. Didn't matter what team, I loved to watch. I would only watch Pro football if the Cowboys were playing. Remember, I am from Arkansas....the state with no pro team, so I grew up as a Cowboys fan. I wanted to be a Cowboys cheerleader when I was a little girl (mom said no), I got to meet Danny White and Too Tall Jones and I was in heaven! They came to Searcy when I was 8....loved it...I still remember exactly where I was and what I was wearing. I told you, I loved the Cowboys when I was little.
Now that I'm out of college and a tad bit older, I have become a pro football fan. I don't know if it is because I followed my favorite players to the NFL or I just realized that the kids that play college ball really ARE kids. Don't get me wrong...I still LOVE college football. Sometimes a little too much, but not like I did when I was in college or first out of college. Now I watch my favorite teams play and that's about it.
But NFL football is a totally different story. I started playing fantasy football 7 years ago and it totally changed the way I watch football. I love it...but I love it more when my players score me points!! Okay, that sounds totally and completely selfish...Now that I read it again...I guess it is....What is funny is that I play in a total women's league. Last year I got 2nd, this year I got 5th...UGGGH. We don't play for money, just for bragging rights.
Fantasy season is over and now it's time for the big game....I love my Colts. Yes, I know I said that I was raised a Cowboys fan. I love the old Cowboys teams. I just can't get into watching them play anymore....I don't know if it's the bazillion dollar stadium, the felon football players or just their owner in general. I just have not been a big Cowboys fan for a while.
No, I followed Peyton Manning to the Colts and now our family is a full fledged Colts family. Not only do we love Peyton, but now we have Sunday love for Reggie, Joseph and don't forget Dwight! Our Colts are playing in the Super Bowl tomorrow against the Saints. I'm not going to be ugly on my blog about the Saints. We lived in Louisiana for a while but, still not a fan. I do love Drew Brees...he's a great QB and they are going to give our Colts a run for our money!!
I'm starting to get nervous, so I'm going to go and clean out Parker's closet today with the radio turned up for some distraction time from thinking about the game tomorrow. I'm soooo excited!! GOOOO COLTS!!
