...And the New England Patriots are NOT your world champions!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! You know I'm LOVING this, right. They won 18 games in a row and crapped the bed in the Super Bowl losing to the New York Football Giants (17-14 final score). Congratulations Eli Manning, I may not have wanted to believe in you, but I did and you came through.
(Launchcast music break: *NSYNC I Want You Back) Of course, there are these delusional New England fans (the ones who haven't jumped ship
(Launchcast music break: Bon Jovi Lay Your Hands On Me) That was one of the best Super Bowls in a LONG time! It went down to the wire. Plus I think that Super Bowl XLII will be one of the most lopsided games in respect of which team people were cheering for. Outside of New England, most the fans of every other team in the NFL were rooting for the Giants. You have a few who were rooting for history to see an undefeated team since lots of us weren't alive to see the '72 Dolphins. (Launchcast music break: Mariah Carey Through the Rain) I also know that there are plenty of people who are tired of the '72 Dolphins, but they seem to not realize how even more obnoxious New England's fans would have been had they also finished the season undefeated.
And a big old

(Launchcast music break: Monty Python's Flying Circus Lumberjack Song) I was text-messaging with Marcus today and he was rooting for New England. I forgot that they were his "second favorite team", whatever you don't GET a second favorite team. You cheer for your most favorite team and whoever is playing your most hated team. There was also this one poster on Yahoo Answers who kept popping up in the "Where are the New England fans, NOW?" questions. She kept saying that the Giants were her second favorite team, so she wasn't as bummed because her favorite lost the Super Bowl. WTFE!!! I don't understand people like that. I know I haven't loved the Steelers for ages, but I couldn't see myself calling any other team my favorite. It's fine if you like players on other teams, that's going to happen (like Marcus really liked Daunte Culpepper, don't know if he still does). But don't call that team your second or third favorite. (Launchcast music break: Sheryl Crow A Change Would Do You Good) Like I said last time, I love Brett Favre, before I watched football I knew who Brett Favre was, he was probably one of the few NFL players I could recognize since the age of like 9 or something, but I would NEVER say the Packers were my second favorite team. Do I cheer for them when I watch their games (not against the Steelers)? Yes, because I like Brett Favre. I couldn't name more than one other player on that roster now if my life depended on it (Donald Driver, after that I got nothing). I think that screams of bandwagon, you know, in case my team sucks, it just so happens my second favorite team is really good, made the playoffs, and the Super Bowl. Plus, I think it's insulting to hardcore fans. Maybe that's what it takes for people to get into games where their team isn't playing, but I like football, so I don't have that problem. (Launchcast music break: "The Will Rogers Follies" Marry Me Now/I Got You {First Act Finale})
That's enough about the Super Bowl, now it's time to talk about something else I feel strongly about: LOST (BESTSHOWEVERRRRRRRRRRR) Oh, it's so good. I don't understand anything, but I still love it. What was up with the people on the freighter? Why were they of all people picked? I mean, it kind of had something to do with Oceanic flight 815, but not really, like the pilot who flew the "rescue" chopper was supposed to pilot the doomed flight, but other than that, the other three people just heard about it, and were kind of bummed, except for Dan who was torn up about it, but didn't know why. LOL! (Launchcast music break: Kelly Clarkson The Trouble With Love) There seems to be a debate on which faction would most people have gone with Jack or Locke. I'm not sure, I may have gone with Locke just because Sawyer went, but that's a terrible excuse because the just as hot (and helluva lot nicer) Sayid went with Jack. Desmond went with Jack and he's not that bad to look at either (look, I can't help it, there are some bang-ably, hot guys on this show). From the viewer's POV, I might have gone with Locke, except he had Ben with him. Then again, I'd probably want to get the hell off that island and tried to be rescued, so it may be Jack after all. Man, two episodes down, six more to go. They need to finish up this strike, because eight is not enough. (Launchcast music break: O.A.R. Love and Memories)
More random thoughts:
-- (Launchcast music break: "The Music Man [Original Broadway Cast]" Till There Was You; love this song, it's for you Snookie) I think The Riches comes back in June. I had heard March or something. Damn, that's a long ass time.
-- (Launchcast music break: Ginuwine Pony; uh, this one is for you as well, Snookie, LOL) I'm becoming obsessed with Eddie Izzard lately, it's so weird. All I know is that I must own all his stuff on DVD. The only thing is that I still watch Dress to Kill that I recorded from HBO, so that's low on the must have list. I'm thinking Glorious and Circle. But if I don't stop watching the Glorious clips on YouTube, it's not going to be as funny. I will give Eddie this, most of his material is highly quotable and makes for the best sigs.

-- Ashley is pregnant again.
I wrote her back thanking her for the update on "As Ashley's World Turns." She said it's not a bad thing because she's getting married (we'll see), then told me I need to get back on MySpace. Hell and no to the MySpace, I'm just too lazy for it. What I wanted to write back to her was, "Goddamn, can you keep your legs shut for a week?", but better judgement prevailed. (Launchcast music break: "A Chorus Line" I Can Do That)
-- Yay, the Pro Bowl is Sunday! Oh wait, I don't really care. But Ben will be there, so I might watch with a bit more interest than other years. I definitely want to watch the introductions, and since New England quarterback pulled out, Ben is second string instead of third, so I have to try come in the middle. DON'T GET HURT, BEN!!! (Launchcast music break: Shai If I Ever Fall In Love {Original Acappella Version})
-- Nine more days, baby, nine more days! Toyota, this year?
(Launchcast music break: Fall Out Boy Thnks Fr Th Mmrs)
(Launchcast music break: Maroon 5 Sunday Morning) I'll be going now, but before I go, I want to wish a happy (belated-yesterday) birthday to my favorite action-executive transvestite, Eddie Izzard! I can't believe he's 46. Well, without make up, you can believe it:

But he looks "fantabulous" with:

I'm so jealous. I swear, if I didn't know that was the same person, I wouldn't guess in a million years. (Launchcast music break: Sinead O' Connor Nothing Compares 2 U)
And of course Ben, hopefully, with him being in Hawaii and all, there will be a photo with him shirtless, but luck can run its course:

I can't believe I forgot to talk about his Super Bowl commercial. Maybe next time, because I really have to get going. All I can say is that it was very special.
I'm phasing.
P.S. This is what I think of New England's "dynasty":

Okay, I'll let this go now... until next season when it starts all over again.
