The Tension Is Mounting
Mood:  caffeinated
Now Playing: DC101
This Sunday is it. It's the big shows. These two games could almost overshadow the Superbowl. Falcons @ Eagles should be really good. It'll be really hard for me to sit through though. Patriots @ Steelers is it. Can Ben win the BIG one, and become the first rookie QB in history to lead his team to the Superbowl? I have absolutely no idea. It could go either way, but I'm not trying to do anything that could jinx it. Ever since last Saturday's game, I've become very superstitious. I will say one thing, even if the Steelers lose, I am so proud of Ben. He accomplished the unthinkable this year, and has now become the standard that all future rookie quarterbacks will be held to. Go Ben-Ben! Also, if the Steelers lose, I'm not taking any phone calls, except for Lisa's. I should take that back, let Jason and Marcus bring it! The Dolphins? 4-12! The Redskins? 6-10! And the worst part is that Marcus is so wrong for liking, no LOVING the Patriots just because I can't stand them! Did I do this to him? NO! Did I rub the TWO Cowboys' victories over the Redskins in his face? NO! But you know, some people are just like that.

I did get some good news yesterday. MY JERSEY GOT SHIPPED!! I'm so happy! It was so unexpected. The first email said the 28th, but they shipped it 9 days early. But, I'm hoping this is not a bad omen. What if my shirt gets here like tomorrow or Saturday, I wear it during the game, and they lose. That would suck so bad.

It's funny, I never thought I would like football, especially since I used to resent it so much, but reading my past entries, it's like 98% football, 2% anything else. I include Ben in football. They kind of go hand in hand. I've also noticed my online habits have changed dramatically. I practically live on the Yahoo NFL page, NFL.com, ESPN.com, Foxsports on MSN, and the message board on Steelers.com. I have no idea what I'm going to do with myself once football season is over. Hopefully the Harry Potter Hype will start to really pick up steam since the sixth book is coming out in June and fourth movie is coming out in November. Even though by the time the movie comes out, it'll be football season all over again!

I guess that'll be it for me. I have no idea if I'll be back on Saturday/Sunday before the Conference championship games or after the games. I'm also having a dilemma about two more Ben photos. I got one of him warming up before a game, looking very in the zone (he has gloves on which was a fuss last week) and the other one is of him sitting on a cooler at practice LHAO. Hmmmm, I think I'll go with...

It's neither, but it shows him being very confident and that he just did something good. Why do I fancy him so?

Peace and Steelers Grease!

I'm phasing.
