The sting has lessened a little this morning, but it still hurts.
It’s just not supposed to happen like this.
Good is supposed to triumph over evil.
Right is supposed to win out over wrong.
And the man who loves the game is supposed to defeat the whiny little fucking bitch ass punk who doesn’t deserve to kiss the cleats of his opponent.
But, no. Not last night. Last night the world went terribly wrong and the Green Bay Packers lost to the Giants. And while Brett Favre, a living legend who plays on pure heart and love of the game, stays home - Eli Cry Baby Fucking Manning is going to the Super Bowl.
Blech. It makes me nauseous just to write those words.
I’m boycotting the Super Bowl this year. There’s no way I can stand to watch it. There’s simply nothing left to cheer for. No good can come from The National Football Championship this year.
On one hand, The Patriots can win (and probably will), and the media will go crazy over the first undefeated team since the ‘72 Dolphins team. And while I suppose that should be something worth watching, I just can’t get excited about The Patriots. There’s no soul there, no heart. No come from behind background story to get excited about. Well, unless you count the fact that they were caught cheating early in the season. Yeah, that’s a team that should hold the most fabled record in the history of the game.
But, I suppose, it could be worse.
Instead of a soulless team of cheaters winning, it could be Eil Manning.
Oh, puke.
I’d rather gouge my own eyes out with a fucking spoon than watch that son of a bitch even step out onto the turf on Super Bowl Sunday. I don’t care how many passes that bag of douches completes, I will never see him more than the whiny little brat in his big brother’s shadow. I’ll never forget that when this punk ass got drafted he bitched and moaned about the team who wanted to sign him and refused to play for them, ultimately getting himself picked up by a “better” team.
Eli Manning is everything that’s wrong with sports today. He represents the soul that’s being sucked out of a game that used to be about champions and struggle, and turning it into a heartless exhibition of statistics and skill.
Puke, puke, puke.
I’m sorry. I realize some of you have no clue what I’m talking about.
Imagine… um… it’s like… uh…
Imagine if Spiderman dies. Imagine if The Joker and The Green Goblin somehow found themselves battling for The SuperHero Awesomeness Cup. No, worse, The Green Goblin and Mr. Freeze as played by Arnold.
It’s that bad.
Or, um, imagine if you went to a Harry Connick Jr. concert and found out that he wasn’t playing because he’d been caught cheating on his wife and was embroiled in a nasty divorce. And Britney Spears was the replacement act. No, worse, Ashlee Simpson!
It’s that bad.
*sigh*
So, no Super Bowl party for me this year. I just can’t. Blech, puke, yuck. Nope. Can’t do it.
I guess I’ll spend the day at Disney or Universal instead - I hear that’s the greatest day of the year to go anyway.
Posted in Bitching Again, It's All About Me, just rambling
Well, now that you put it in words that I can understand, I feel your pain.
So…if I read this right, you are not a Giants fan???
:what: :what: :what:
Brett Favre is one of the greatest players ever. Definitely.
And, um… that’s all I’m going to say. To comment on the outcome wouldn’t do our friendship much good.
Thank you for saying it –it fucking SUCKS that that whiny ass gets to go–and I hate it even though the backup quarterback is a Kentucky grad.
I’m GLAD my radio show is at 8 PM on Sunday now–I was gonna cancel on Super Bowl Sunday to watch but now I don’t have to….
And your ‘translation’ for Avi is hilarious. I know my first paragraph reads to him like the adults always sound in ‘Charlie Brown’
Go Giants…
I have to agree with Championable, Brett Farve is one of the best QBs ever.
Alas, he will be watching the Super Bowl, with Peyton Manning, on 2/3/08.
I cried with you last night. I thought YES OVERTIME!!! Packers Ball!!! We got this, and then the interception!
The Packers are my team. Unless they are playing the Texans and then I would be torn. But to say all those mean and hateful things about Eli Manning?? Come on now. He is a good player and he had a right to want to be on a better team. Shit if you don’t speak up you don’t get what you want! Don’t be a sour sports fan! Watch the super bowl if only to root for the team that beat the Packers out to lose!!
Come on for the love of the game!
I totally agree with you. I LOVE the Packers!
But as my daughter put it last night, “Now that the Colts are out of it, what’s the point?” So true.
But I WILL still watch The Super Bowl - I love watching big games, and the commercials are worth the price of admission. :thumbsup:
J.
See, this is why I don’t watch professional sports of any type. In my humble, nobody-gives-a-fuck-opinion-but-me, when men and women begin playing profession, paid, sports, at some point it no longer is playing for the love of the game, it’s playing for cash.
This is why I stick to college sports and leave the profession crap where it should be - alone.
Bears beat the Packers twice this year btw. I wish I could say I feel your pain but my two favorite teams are the Bears and whoever is playing the Packers so… oh well…
(mwa ha ha)
I was rooting for Favre as well, but I wanted to see him play my Patriots. It would have been nice to see a rematch of the 1996 game. You obviously know where I will be and who I will be cheering for. :)
I’m sorry, I have to step in here and help you with your facts:
1. Eli did indeed say he did not want to play for San Diego, but didn’t whine about it, and was told before the draft the Chargers would not draft him, then the Chargers did, just to spite him
2. John Elway did the exact same thing in 1983, essentially telling the Colts when they drafted him that if they didn’t draft him, he would go play baseball for the Yankees instead
Sorry, but I have to ask how this is “everything that is wrong with sports today”? By your logic, every kid coming out of college, regardless of his profession, is not allowed to choose where they want to work and live. If you were told tomorrow that you HAD to go work in Helena, Montana, or Bayonne, NJ, and that you had no say in the matter, you might be a tad upset, no?
I’m sorry, I love Brett Favre, always have, but he was not the better QB on the field yesterday, and the Packers were not the better team.
For you to say Eli is “heartless” is a bit ignorant, you obviously haven’t been following football other than what #4 is doing
Wait…..Are you John Madden???????
Oh come ON! Miss Britt, you know I admire you. And I respect you. I am even near ecstatic to know that you follow, and care, about football. And Brett Favre is arguably the best QB in a long time (but then, he has been playing for a loooong time, too so…).
I’m aso 100% with you on the Patriots being a soulless ream, I’d even go as far as to say that they’re not even human. Probably androids. When you find out that Belichick is willing to *gasp* cheat to win *shudder* then you start to not put it past him to replace his players with androids.
However, The New York Football Giants have heart, and have overcome a shitty start to their season, and have put their souls in to making it to the Superbowl. And they came damn close to beating the Pats in the final game of the season, and I hope they can do it in the Super Bowl. And Eli does live in his brother’s (and dad’s) shadow(s). I think this is his oppurtunity to show that he’s every bit a part of the Manning Dynasty.
And I for one, will be watching the Super Bowl with great enthusiasm, and rooting whole heartedly for the GIANTS. Even though my team’s black and gold won’t be making an appearance.
Why did you have to write this post?
Mrs. Fab already loves you more than I feel comfortable with, and once she finds out that you share her white hot hatred of Eli Manning, well…
You fucking homewrecker.
Eli is not evil. He’s just a big freaking dork who can’t think for himself (The whole draft fiasco was supposedly orchestrated by his dad, Archie). Tom Brady, on the other hand, is a joyless robot automaton (Am I jealous that he’s good-looking, dates models, and impregnates hot actresses? Hell yes, but that’s not the point here). Soulless is a perfect word for the Patriots.
avitable: I knew you would.
Rachel: heh. No.
Rich: LOL - no, really, it’s OK. My baby brothers HATE the Packers, and we’re still friends.
Turnbaby: thank you! Gosh, after reading all the rest of the comments I was starting to wonder if I was wrong.
But, NO! Whiny ass! HA! LOL
Jen, South Florida: Oh :tongue:
And I do love me some Peyton as well.
debkitty: gosh, “mean and hateful” - now I kind of feel bad.
But just a little.
HoosierGirl: I’ve never missed the Super Bowl - and even if it’s not my team there’s always been a story I could get behind so at least I was rooting for SOMEONE.
I don’t think I can watch a game where I really don’t care who wins.
CMG: it’s been a mighty long time since college sports weren’t being played for the cash. But I still love to cheer for the walk-ons, for that very reason.
RW: I think I got an email to that effect from my brothers today.
But, well, you guys still have Grossman. I’ll console myself with that.
(And actually… shh… I’ve been a Bears fan for longer than I’ve been a Packers fan. But I didn’t grow up with any Bears players, so I have a special place in my heart for the Pack.)
Chatty: you know, I saw a rematch of that game actually - a preseason game at Green Bay the very next season. Good times, good times.
I hope for YOUR sake the Pats win. I guess.
Jim: Well no shit he was the better quarterback and they were the better team LAST NIGHT. I did watch that travesty of a game.
And I must not be the only person in the world who is so “ignorant” to assume they don’t get to “pick” where they go. I mean, um, what’s that called again?
Oh yeah, THE DRAFT.
Allyson: oh damn you Allyson. You actually kind of make a fucking case for them.
*sigh* It’s not the GIANTS I hate (well, I was a little fucking peeved at the mouthy ass receivers last night) - it’s Manning.
And I just… nope… I’m sorry, I can’t.
I hope we can still be friends.
Mr. Fab: that’s OK - I think Jared is kind of your type. You guys will get along great.
Which kid do you want?
y not i: well I’m glad I’m not the only one who gets emotional about sports. And when I look at Tom Brady I’m like… um, yeah, he’s good… but I just don’t “feel it”.
I just had to come back and say John Elway was a whiny ass also and I never liked him despite what he was able to do with a football.
It is only football. Sheesh.
Hell, if I couldn’t be friends with someone who didn’t like my team… I would never have become a mom.
:thumbsup:
For me, the dream died when the Chargers lost. I mean I know they were playing against the undefeated Patriots and all, but they’re my home town team and I really wanted to watch the Bolts go to the Bowl once again.
But, talk about class … Junior Seau (Pats) hugging and consoling his former team mates (Chargers).
However, since Hubby is from Brooklyn, we’ll be watching (and only he will be rooting) the Giants.
And they say women don’t know anything about football. The whole “football widow” thing is so wrong.
Yeah, and my fantasy team sucked eggs this year. So between that and the Chargers losing, I’m so DONE with football this year!
I really didn’t think it was possible for to me end up actually siding with the Patriots and Tom Brady in the Super Bowl, but it has happened. I hate Eli too.
Spoiled little shit that he is. Didn’t want to play for the Chargers so he ran to his daddy and threw a hissy fit and got his way. Screw him.
Super Bowl Sunday might be a good day to rent a bunch of DVDs and have a movie marathon of some kind.
My husband was rooting for the Packs, too. I was indifferent, but I hope the Pats kick their ass in superbowl. That will be to add to their record, right?
It was a tight game the whole way though, huh?
Now THAT is fucking FOOTBALL!
Girl, my eyes glossed over and my brain went straight for shoes and jewelry the moment you mentioned football.
But I love your gratuitous use of ‘fuck’!
A Favre/Brady Superbowl would have been pretty awesome. But here in NJ we could not be happier that our Giants pulled it off. And Eli is not evil. He is a good all-American boy. Of course, Brett is amazing in his own right, but it is time for a new generation.
I just realized that my post today–also about football–has me drinking beer—and you sugar—- were not even a year old :what:
my heart broke in 174 places last night.
Holy flaming fuckwads. Seriously???? It’s MY birthday week and you started it out with a post on FOOTBALL?
Turnbaby: LOL, but at least he had a personality. And not one of a tool.
themuttprincess: Pffffffffffft.
Allyson: LOL, oh Good.
teebopop: I wanted the chargers to win too. I love LT.
Jay: or paint. Maybe I’ll make hubby paint..
annie: yep, they already have the record because of the longer season. And, yeah, it was an exciting game - no matter how you look at it.
BottleBlonde: *sigh* it’s so hard to find chics who dig sports like I do.
Karen: lalalala I’m not listening to talks of Eli being anything but a douche lalalallalallala
Turnbaby: hahahahahahahahaha
ali: *sigh* me too.
AmyD: you didn’t even read the last part, did you?
That was all for you!!!!
Tom Brady is rather good looking at least… Although I fear how perfect those teeth are
I must admit to some surprise that Green Bay stumbled at the last step, and Superbowl Monday in Aus just won’t be the same. 
OH gee… that just makes it ALLLL better now, doesn’t it. :tongue:
I don’t get why Eli is whiney, but then I am not a Giants fan, nor an East coaster that probably reads about more than the Cowboys in the Sports pages. But I would say working the draft so that you were able to play for a winning team rather than just the best paying team speaks to soul and character…. if that’s what he (like several others) actually did.
I, on the other hand, had a bit of perverse satisfaction in knowing lil brother Eli was going to the Superbowl while his football God of a brother got the boot. Which means Eli, with less offensive power surrounding him, has made the biggest game in sports YEARS ahead of Payton. Is it possible you judged him too quick? Is it possible he is the scapegoat for your wrath at the Packers for quitting in the 4th quarter? I really hoped the Cheeseheads would win last night, but there are many good stories to rally around in this one… including Eli, whom sportscasters were claiming should be traded off due to inconsistencies just before the playoffs. And of course there is Michael Strahan, who like Favre considered retirement right up til the last minute of last year.
And there might even be a reason to watch that supports Brett Favre. Just before the season started Favre PLEADED with the Packers to aquire Randy Moss. Favre said if they had Moss on thier side they would win the Superbowl. The Pats will probably prove Favre correct.
Well, I am not at all fond of Peyton Manning - probably because we keep running into his team in playoff games…. (I’m a Steelers Fan - forever - even in the 80’s). So, when I first saw Eli… yeah… it just makes me a little ill… BUT… I hate the Patriots! I just do, can’t help it… tried to like ‘em, tried to stomach them, but nope… you can’t cheer for a team that beats your team at a pivotal moment in the season… So, when we get to Super Bowl time… I’m usually cheering for the NFC team - unless the Steelers are there - or if an Ohio team made it, I’d cheer for them.
My husband is originally from Connecticut and so when he was a boy, it was always the Giants - so I’m cheering for them. I’m sorry to say I’m not a big Favre fan - but not because he isn’t a great football player… simply because when the R comes AFTER the V your name can’t be Farve… it’s a fact, ok?
The Patriots are soulless… it is true.
Well, all I can say is, everybody has a right to their opinion.
“I just can’t get excited about The Patriots. There’s no soul there, no heart. No come from behind background story to get excited about. Well, unless you count the fact that they were caught cheating early in the season. Yeah, that’s a team that should hold the most fabled record in the history of the game.”
Will you marry me?
First of all, my daughter would LOVE you because she’s a HUGE football fan and hates that most girls don’t like football like she does.
Having said that, though, my husband was in your position a few weeks ago. I’m afraid to tell you his favorite team. But it starts with a “V” and ends in “ikings.” :whistle:
When you’re willing to publicly cheat, and abandon your child, you’re bound to win. But, this is a cause and effect universe. NE will cheat at the Super Bowl like they have at every other game and maybe THIS TIME the NFL will do something about it. We can only hope.
So this is a big thing then? Now I just feel bad for taking the piss on kapgar’s site. Sorry.
Wow, i didn’t know you were that into sports… :sex011:
I agree with the fact that the Super Bowl will blow. And I also
Brett Favre. I don’t care one way or the other about Eli Manning…but is there any love for my boy Peyton? A little?!?!?!
:surrender:
Dee: He doesn’t “do it” for me. Yeah… do they even show the Super Bowl there?!?!
AmyD: yes, of course.
Y2k Survivor: Moss can catch - but he’s a dick.
Annie: It’s FavRAH! LOL
Cheyenne: well, all I can say is… yes, yes we do.
Tense Teacher: can I wear a dress? If so, yes.
BlondeBlogger:oh it’s good you didn’t say that full name here!!! BOOO!!! LOL
On a Limb with Claudia: I only knew about the beginning of the season stuff - I didn’t realize there was more!
Bec: thanks for that bit of code, btw. ;-)
Aaron: really?
Stephanie: I do love Peyton, actually. I tried not to… but I can’t help myself.
couldn’t agree more. the Giants suck. they suck ASS. Eli is the redheaded stepchild of that family, and rightly so. HOW AWESOME WOULD IT HAVE BEEN TO HAVE A BRADY VS. FAVRE SUPER BOWL. omg. FINALLY, a Super Bowl worth watching. and now we have to watch THIS? the giants getting ass-banged by the Patriots? snore.
I know I’ll probably get shanked, or worse yet, banned from your blog for saying this but, seriously, I’m beyond thrilled that the Packers lost. I’m a Chicago girl and stick with the Bears through thick and thin….even if Rex is a completely overrated douchebag.
Of course, I think Brett Favre is a douchebag too, even if he actually deserves his stance as “the greatest QB ever”.
I can’t get into a football debate too seriously though bc I don’t follow it quite as religiously as you appear too.
Crys: exactly!
Sheila: well at least you didn’t defend Eli. ;-)
I kind of lost interest this year when I realized that my Chiefs sucked ass. I am so sick of hearing to name “Tom Brady”. Rather than kissing Tom Brady’s ass from the booth, the announcers should really just go down on the field and fellate him. Just get it over with.
LOL
Yeah, my husband has been sad about the Chiefs for years. And we keep hoping Casey will finally get a Pro Bowl trip before he retires.
Please don’t hate me because I’m a Patriots fan. Before the last few years there were decades of disappointments and no play off games or Super Bowls. I do think you should watch the Super Bowl just to see another crying jag from one of the Manning boys (that just never gets old). Those brothers are the biggest cry babies in the league (well, maybe except for Terrell Owens).
Anonymous (to protect the innocent)
Anonymous? Really?
Am I THAT scary?
Dude, we don’t do hate here. I mean, we do joking hate, funny hate, hateish at celebrities and stuff.
But seriously - over football? Nah. :-D
Don’t worry, I think Eli Manning is a douche too.
AND I can’t believe I put “too” instead of “to” in that last comment. I’m anal like that and it will bother me.
That game was so hard to watch.
But then Brett goes and does what he did last month. It’s hard enough being a Packers and Favre fan in Dallas without him making it harder…but the Jets!
