Football Fever Yo!

Oh man, it is that time of year where we separate the Men from the Boys/Girls/Women and Children! Costumes on and make haste to our man caves, but don't forget the Hot Wings your beautiful wife or girlfriend have graciously made for you. We got the bro's, brew's and b.b.q. all happening and head butting each other as we anxiously wait for our teams to run the tunnel! I love this time of year, over Christmas even. It's where us men can speak a language unknown to the female species, a language only men of great love for the sport can only comprehend. But need i remind you and myself that none of this will be happening where I'm at. I'm still in New Zealand and in NZ football isn't that big. We don't have man caves, well at least not to american standard and we don't have hot wings. However, in every backyard, there is a BBQ ready to fire up and with brew's too. But you see, I may need to remind you and myself again that I don't drink unless it's hardcore OJ with pulp, I'm good.

This Monday coming up is the Pro Bowl. And who will I be supporting? NFC of course! The NFC side has insurmountable talent to burn, so much talent not all were able to be selected. But I'm happy to know the resurrected Micheal Vick will be pulling the reigns and Display a QB showcase that has been missing from the NFL in quite some time. One of my favorite players who also happens to be from my favorite team, Patrick Willis has been selected again to start as MLB. Well deserved from what some may say a forgotten season. No doubt will he play his best and can't wait what he'll dish out to them AFC poocracks!

Then we have Super Bowl XLV (don't ask me what number) lol. A far much bigger stage. Certainly the biggest event to happen at Cowboy Stadium since ages of time. Cowboys suck, i will say that, so be glad the rest of the world will focus their hard earned energy for this event, to your city. This is gonna be a cracker of a game!! Many will ask who will 'I' have my money on?? Psshh, Pittsburgh Steelers of course! They've been here many times before, 8 times to be exact and have won 6 so far with one on the way! Yes, I said it! The Pittsburgh Steelers will win! Why am I rooting for an AFC team to win? Well in actual fact, I'm not. It is because one of my favorite players hails from steeler country and is a rugged, hard hitting and intelligent player, yes Troy Polamalu. I love watching him read plays and execute last second decisions which result in devastation for the receiving player. So I hope he gets what he again deserves, a hit, a win and a ring. GO TROY!

That's me I think.
Can't wait for all this to come to pass in a few more days! Good luck to all teams! Have fun, because I know I will!  www.nfl.com
