Faith and Football

I feel like I wrote a similar post last year, but I can't help it. Both faith and football are a HUGE part of my life.

So, this year, as Coach Dad and I are doing our weekly picks for our Pick 'Em league and he is baffled as to why I have picked the Steelers EVERY single week. My response is simple. I have FAITH in them. Well, most of them anyway.

It is really simple. I find it counter-productive to pray for the health and safety of a player, and then pick his team to lose. That is just plain silly.

So Coach Dad, there is my REAL reason for picking the Steelers- prayer.

PS: I clearly also ALWAYS pick the Cardinals, because despite the drama, they are my #1 NFL team.

Kurt

The boys at work know me oh so well.

Kurt Warner retired which means, more than likely, Bretty Boy will follow suit.

Convo #1:

Me: Oh man Kurt-

Male Coworker 1: Warner retired

Me: Yes! Do you know what that means?

Male Coworker 1: That when Brett Favre retires and unretires the Cards are going to hire him?

Me: Um no. Leinart gets to start. IF The Cards hired Brett, I'd quit the team

Convo #2

Male Coworker #2 (aka a HUGE lakers fan): Hey Glitz. Did you hear Kurt retired and the Cards are hiring Brett!

Me: Really? Is that what you heard? 'Cause I heard that Kobe and Lamar are leaving LA for the Sun

Male Coworker #2: *walks off*

Funny how they know me oh so well.

I'm sad that Kurt is retiring, but I'm glad that Matt will get the playing time he deserves. He's toned down the partying, and he's working hard.

As long as he stays focused, I think Matt will be an awesome NFL QB. They don't just handout Heisman trophies to mediocre players...

Best of luck in the future KW. God Bless.

It is very funny how things work out with my theme...this afternoon it was announced that an 'SC Alum and current AZ Cardinal (my two faves!) was named as the College Football Athlete of the Decade by Sporting News.

So in congratulations to Matt, and to continue on with the theme of the week...Glitz' Guy of the Week for Thursday is:




                                                                          Matt Leinart

If you are not following @ddockett on twitter.....you SHOULD be!

it's been a while....

So I have been totally immersed in this little thing called "college football" and I Have been neglecting my #1 NFL team on this lil blog.



I will start with my gripe first and foremost: I seriously miss watching Matt Leinart play. I know. I know. But seriosuly, one of my most favorite things to do, was watch him kick ass at USC and then play in the NFL. The past two years have seriously sucked.


NOW. Kurt Warner. You are amazing!!!!!! Thank you for this season so far!


I have stood behind the Cards since the day I moved to Arizona. Now- again, they are on a roll, they are doing great, and I am still hearing that the Cardinals will always break your heart. I do not agree people.

If you SAW what I saw in the last 4 seconds of the game tonight. That is not a team that breaks hearts. That is a team that is learning to mend broken hearts and make it to the playoffs!
