Are you ready for some football???

In this case American football...although football, or soccer as it's called here is starting in Europe too...I'm ready for both! Since basketball and ice hockey have been done for few months now it's all been about baseball and to me 162 game regular season is just too much...way too much baseball for me. So I'm looking forward to the football seasons to start. And fantasy football...it's gonna be fun!

So the Eagles signed Michael Vick yesterday...we were watching the Steelers-Cardinals game, eating pizza when they announced the signing and both of our jaws just dropped. There was about a minute's silence before Billy called T and it was downhill from there! Her phone would not shut up after that! I saw facebook today and all the haters (read: Giants fans) were all buzzing...gonna be an interesting season! Now I'm waiting for the press conference that's suppose to start in half an hour to get some answers!

I love fantasy football! I have been trying to prepare for our draft, I have tried to rank my players, done couple of mock drafts and I gotta say I have no idea how this is gonna work out! I have my second place from last year to defend so it's important to be prepared... some of the mocks have gone well for me but it seems that there is always someone who doesn't take it seriously, always someone who is new to it and drafts either players from his fave team or players that are past their prime way too early...and positions that are not too important early (like defences and kickers in the 5th round) and leave the skill positions to later rounds... so even though I have a strategy and have players I am targeting, who knows how it will turn out. Last year was my first time and I so I read all the articles on how to draft, which positions to draft early, which leave for later etc and then when the draft came people did what they wanted so...I hope it will go as I plan!

I am also ready for the European football to start. Let's go ManU!!! I am hoping that we can repeat as champions AND that the new players can contribute. I was really surprised when Michael Owen signed with ManU but he seems to be in shape and if he can score, I'll be happy. It's little weird since he is a Liverpool legend and you'd never in a million years would have thought he was gonna play for ManU but he's there now. I gotta say I am little bit disappointed with Christiano Ronaldo. As awesome as he can be as a player, he is an total ASS off the field. Can you say self-centered bastard??? ManU is the biggest and best club in the world and he was acting like he's bigger than that. And as much as I like Real Madrid, I'm not happy about their money spending and buying everybody. I'm kinda hoping they fail this season. Reminds me of Chelsea and their spending from few years back when the Russian took over and started to throw money around. And now Real Madrid and Manchester City...money doesn't buy you love or championships!

I am home alone today. Nothing new since it's a weekday and T would be working anyway but she's not coming home tonight! Sniffles! An old neighbor of hers is getting married so T went to the wedding with her mom and will stay in Long Island for the night. This is only the second time since we moved in together that I will spend the night alone. I have the cats but it's not the same...more sniffles! So my friend Candice is coming over, we're gonna play Wii, watch the Jets game (she's a fan), order Chinese and drink some Magner's! Good times!

T, enjoy tonight, everybody else...later!

I will watch some TV now and listen to Sox snoring!
