Out With Old In With New...Football That Is

I realize that the end of the football season is coming upon on us. So what is a girl to do with the memories of the NFL 2008. First, I want to say thank you to a few players who made the games worth watching from a girl’s standpoint. Simeon Rice, Vonnie Holiday, Dwight Freeney, Jason Taylor, Antonio Gates, Osi Umenyiora. Its not that the other guys were not as good looking, but a girl needs that six foot plus athlete in her fantasy. Not that I wont be watching the replays all year on NFL Total Access, but its not the same. I look forward to the pre-games shows where all the pundits weigh in on the teams and the likelihood of who will win or lose. Of course, this season was not to be forgotten for its ups and downs, there is the story of the New England Patriots who at this point is the only unbeaten team and then there was the Michael Vick debacle. For all its worth, people everywhere saw the epic played out on sportscasts everywhere and one cliché comes to mind “how fast we climb, how fast we fall”. So as I get ready for the SuperBowl, I say goodbye to another historical year in the NFL. For all is not lost, there is football of another breed starting in a few weeks in fourteen cities across the nation – Arena Football. The down side is I will not be able to cheer for any one team, because all some of my clients will be slugging it out against each other. As the weeks draw closer I will be blogging about theses guys and their rise to fame. When I look back to my contribution to sports over the last two years I realize that I have managed to touch the lives of players who have been trying to realize their dreams. I am not being self-righteous, just feeling honored to add that notch to my belt. All and all life has been good to me and sports has made it better.
