Where Better to Watch Favre's Jets Debut than New York!

Had to got New York for work this week and had to be there by Monday so of course I flew on Saturday so I could see Week One. It was a long day on Saturday because Hurricane Hanna was dumping rain on the East Coast and NY was in the path. So I arrived a bit late but still plenty of time for a great dinner and wine with a friend.

Sunday my friend assures me she's done the recon and has a sports bar for me to watch the games. She (not an NFL gal) is even coming with me and she's invited her other friend who IS an NFL gal. We arrive at Bounce Deuce just before 1pm (you get to sleep in on Sunday in NY!) and belly up to the bar where I am quite sure I'll still be standing at 8pm. I was right.

Week one was crazy! Brady out for the Season, what? I thought for sure my eliminator pick was toast. Fortunately, Pats came through (it was KC after all) and I am thinking good thoughts for Brady. As an AFC fan it doesn't suck for the Pats to have a handicap.

I have watched the games in bars for years, usually surrounded by irate Raider fans (L.A. and all) but I loved watching in NY. Despite my purse getting snatched (and returned, thanks to special agent Ryan!) the fans were awesome and watching Favre take the Jets to 1-0 start with Jets fans was great! I kept thinking about the gross Jets fans at my Manhattan Beach bar (they are jerks) and how glad I was to be far away from them.

Best thing about Bounce? The bartenders! Layla & the gals rocked! We had amazing service but mostly we just had fun. Thanks girls, you rock!

I'll be back in December, save me a spot at the bar.

Another New England Superbowl...Do We Care?

The only thing that's got me excited about this year's Superbowl is a great new site called Jinx the Jock. It started as a Jessica Romo bashing site and has progressed. Other than that I don't care about watching another New England game. I get it, they are the best ever. Can we skip the rest and just give them the trophy now? Cuz the only thing worse than their winning again would be watching Eli Manning win - yuck!

This past Sunday I was totally cheering for Favre, I am so bummed he's not playing, then it would at least be exciting. Sorry Giants fans, I appreciate you love your team but I just hate Manning. I do like Strahan though.

I definitely have other things to look forward to on the big day, one of which is my birthday - a big one - and a house full of fun people. Plus the Superbowl 5k and beer garden kicks off the day so the rest is a blur anyway.

It's always sad when the season ends but at least I won a little money and I have high hopes for Jay Cutler in the coming years. Just hope that Lynch stays another year. The good thing about the season ending is that summer is on its way!

PACKERS OR COWBOYS?

Personally I am going with Brett Favre on this one. I realize both teams are awesome, the Cowboys have a powerful offense and it's in Dallas, but my gut is telling me that Favre's Pack will win this game. I hope it's as spectacular and grandiose as I imagine it to be. I cannot wait! You gotta love the return of Thursday night football, thanks NFL network and my new best friend, DirecTV!

As for our beloved Broncos, wow. What a crushing loss to ech, ech, Rex Grossman. Well, actually we lost to Devin Hester, but what-ever. I still am thankful for Jay Cutler's evolution. Something good is definitely starting to happen in Denver - long term anyway.

Okay, so tomorrow night, Favre, Romo and some cold beer and leftovers! Yeehaw! - Angela
