"Benny and the Jets" - Elton John

Good afternoon peeps and peepettes!!! Are you caught up in football fever? I'm not but...I can't think of another topic to write about that I haven't already touched lately, so I'll go with the perennial flow and talk about...gasp...football! There! I've said the "F" word! As you might have figured, I am not a football fan; nor baseball for that matter. However, I am a New York fan and will get caught up in the hoopla of a New York sports team making it to a playoff of any type. In speaking with my son today, who is celebrating his Bornday, I now know some of the "whys" and "wherefores" of the game. I must however add this caveat: my native New York born son is a die hard, staunch Pittsburgh Steelers fan! Always has been and always will be! He even went The University of Pittsburgh for goodness sake! By the way ladies, weigh in as to whether or not you watch the games with your significant other; back in the day I used to cuddle up with my then husband and pretend to watch the game...he too was a Pittsburgh Steelers fan (so, that's where my son got it from); don't think I'd be willing to do that today...unless my man agreed to watch Project Runway with me that is!

Here's what I know:

1. The Jets and The Colts are AFC teams

2. The Vikings and The Saints are NFC teams

3. Mark Sanchez is The Jets QB

4. Peyton Manning is The Colt's QB

5. The Colts used to be situated in Baltimore but are now representing Indianapolis (guess they watched The Wire too).

6. Brad and Angelina broke up...oops, how'd that get in here?

7. The Vikings play for Minnesota (son, I knew that!), and are called The Purple People Eaters

8. The Raiders play for Oakland ; gang bangers and rappers love to wear their hat.

9. The Jets are called Gang Green

10.The Jets and The Saints are the favored teams today
