— Monty Apparently there is some sort of major sporting event taking place today. You may discuss it here.
UPDATE: I understand that it is traditional to post a photo of a cheerleader when posting about a hand-egg football contest. As I am nothing if not a giver, here you go:

Just turned to the local sports station (radio) and they're talking about a mass shooting at Youngstown State.
I guess I can't escape bad news, even on Super Sunday.

I just don't care. 14 more days till Spring Training.
I'm right there with you, brother. Winter is nothing more than the long pause between the World Series and Spring Training.

Thanks Monty.

Won't that be nice. Means Spring is close. Pretty excited about the Rockies chances this year as well.

That, of course, will pass on April 2
Heh. Cmon. At least give it til June 1st or something. I might have to get that baseball package. Not many opportunities down here to catch the Rockies.

We watched the women's world cup relay when I was over there; the US didn't even field a team. I'm not sure why young women in tight pants shooting rifles doesn't catch on here.

The sane view on the subject was taken by Luby's cafeteria here in Texas. A mass killing at a Luby's helped bring in the concealed carry law in this state; a woman testified before the state legislature that she had left her gun in her car because she didn't want to carry illegally and couldn't shoot back. Luby's welcomes concealed carry holders as customers.

But I agree with Mr. Pink, a large number of Steeler fans are....what is the word I am looking for....yea, obnixous.
Uh, yeah. I went to the grocery store today and saw none other than Big Ben and Hines Ward. A married couple.
Tons of Stealer fans down in these parts. They are like locusts and take over the whole damn sports bar.
Except for AOS Ben. He's cool.

Tom Brady's Hair says the Steelers top the Packers in shine, but the Packers have better body, so it's Packers for the pull out the clip and shake it loose win.
There you guys go again, making fun of my Tommy -- yes, yes...he's hair is falling out, but I will not abandon him; at least not until the next hot male underwear model comes along.

Clearly the answer is to develop pipes through which we can push corn, and we need a government-funded Manhattan Project to create cars that can run on straight corn.

Fuck yeah! It's official. Also, the NY Post had a funny mention about J Lo and her Super Bowl plans. It was a very unflattering photo of her walking out of the Peninsula Hotel in a tight, short white dress, gloves and fur stole. It looked like she was grabbing her crotch, which looked like it was eating her outfit. The caption asked whether J Lo would bring "the white stuff" to the big game date with the Obamas. The current occupant of the White House gives it new meaning altogether, though he's certainly the least presidential ever.

She actually looks pretty good when compared to most basketball groupies in the city of Philadelphia.

what exactly would constitute an authentic "fan" of a team?
I don't follow any sport close enough to know detailed stats about the players, but nevertheless I did live in Pittsburgh for a while and so I will be rooting for the Steelers tonight
does that count? or do I have to know the completion percentage of the last 5 Steelers QB's in order to be counted as a "true Steelers fan"?

what exactly would constitute an authentic "fan" of a team?
Personally, I don't get all worked up about it.
I think there are fans of the sport and and fans of particular teams. I'm really more the former than the latter when it comes to pro football. I grew up a Redskins fan - and converted my husband at the altar (from a Cowboys fan) - so that would be my "official" team, but the fact is I can enjoy virtually any football game and find a team whose style I prefer for any given game. We've lived so many places that we have a several teams we follow.
A lot of the self-identified "authentic" fans tend to have a strong regional tie. They're really often Chicago fans or Boston fans or Dallas fans.
I think "fake" fans are ones who are only interested in a team when they're winning and who really don't know the sport.
Posted by: Y-not at February 06, 2011 08:57 AM (pW2o8)
Right now? No because they aren't playing today. But if the Lions made it to the Super Bowl I would root for them to win.

if ever the practice of "below the fold" applied, it would be here, plus it would add to the joke. Put in a "read more" link before the pic- plus, it really uglies up the main front page, which is not really polite for a co-blogger to do to the owner's page.

Looked-up more about his career and I remember when he played against the Longhorns in the '05 Rose Bowl. We won by 1 point. Vince Young was still our QB then.
I still carry a torch for Marcus Allen based on a locker room interview I saw of him years ago.
