Where Have You Been Sahkira?

It's been quite a while since my last blog post. Almost exactly a year. Today I feel oddly inspired. Here's the quick recap of what has happened in the last year:

1) Got married at a football stadium w/ a football themed wedding (any surprise there?)

2) Signed/Autographed Wes Welker ball was my gift to my husband

3) Accidentally was on TV giving Steve a high-five at the Patriots-Bills game after the Randy Moss TD. (back when he was on the team).

4) Saw San Diego Chargers shut-out the chiefs (thx to my cousin barbara)

5) Was a silent part of a crowd of angry 49er fans who harassed the players from their seats a few feet behind the home-team bench. Yowers.

6) Saw Giants get mortified by Vick and DeJean Jackson. Don't talk to me about it.

7) Saw Cutler get sacked over 10 times by the Gmen.

That about sums it up. More deets and photo recaps to come! :)

Award: Biggest Blowout

Simulating a Snap!

Injuries + Peyton "Prettyboy" Manning + imperfect conditions = Colts loss.

The colts are a talented, strong team. But the San Diego defense wrecked Peyton tonight. Wow, if you didn't watch the game, I recommend you check out highlights on EPSN or NFL.com. Even so, i don't think anything can re-create the nail-biting excitement of this game.

Peyton's numbers were horrendous with five picks... ok, make that six (just happened in a hail mary but that's not really count)... and Vinatieri missed two field goal - including the game-winning field goal (only 25 yarder ish). Most clutch kicker of all time my-ass... no matter how indisputed by NFL analysts

Just when I thought the Colts had made their come-back, everything goes wrong for Indy.

Including a 'first down' being called back for a 'better placement' (i think that was a poor call personally) and a "simulating a snap" call. I actually looked up the rule for simulating a snap and it's really a 5-yard penalty if more than one player moves at the same time before the snap.

Home field advantage definitely helped San Diego, while Phillip Rivers did not. And I was underimpressed by LTD's performance. What happened dude?

Well that's the SNF update... WATCH THE HIGHLIGHTS!

'Til MNF....
