That part should be performed in a rock scream voice.
Here we are again. The official start of another of the unofficial changes to the new season. the NFL is back in action. I am soo freaking pumped. I can't wait til the games start this afternoon and roll deep into the night. After having a semi stressful and scary start to the weekend I need something fun and exciting.
So without further ado.... Let's Get Back To Football.
So much red, white and blue its like the 4th of July in here.
Once more, get off your asses and run through a brick wall hype music time.
I've been waiting all day for Thursday Night!! Not just cause its Thick Chick Thursday either. Like I have been mentioning, this week unofficially starts a new season. School is back in session, summer and the beach crowds are starting to leave town, and we have football back on our tv's. Is there a more hyped sport in America than football?? Not without good reason though. I think I mention it every year when i post around this time, I was never into football much when I was growing up. It took going off to school in New Jersey and longing for something local that I really started to get into it. We didn't get all the local teams games on tv down there, being it was in Giants and Jets country but it is easy to follow along with football all over.
Now being from New England, born and raised, there isnt too much of a stretch to guess who my favorite team in the NFL is. The Buccaneers!!! No, I'm kidding. It's the New England Patriots. Yes i probably just lost half of you, but instead of drinking the kool-aid of Bellichick and bowing down to Tom Terrific, I am loyal to the name on the front of the jersey. I do love the coach and the current quarterback but I do kind of long for a bit of an overhaul, just so people wouldn't shit on the team so much for being good. In the words of Gretchen Weirners " I can't help it that I'm popular".
So with the official kickoff to the NFL season tonight on NBC, I worked up a new all star crew of cheerleaders that are showing off my teams colors. It really is fun to just dive into the hype and fun of the football season and ride it out. This is me doing a freaking cannonball into pool of crazy.
Although there has been no sign of him since week two of last season, I wanted to share this guy again. I freaking loved this campaign and wish it had gone all season.
Football really is serious fun.
I picked this song cause it kind of fits my loyal to the team and not the player thoughts. For lord and for land. Also gets you friggin hyped up.
Let's Go Pats!!! Let's Go Pats!!! Let's Go Pats!!! Let's Go Pats!!! Let's Go Pats!!! Let's Go Pats!!!
The cheer and chant that thousands will be cheering and chanting along with come this sunday. Finallyy the football season gets into full swing and gets the season rolling. Woohooo!!! I can't say that I am a die hard jersey wearing fan but damn do I love the Patriots. I didn't really watch football when I was younger. I really started getting into when i went away to school and didn't have the constant "You should play football" "hey do you play football? you should." and "You gotta play football" being pushed on me. Much more enjoyable when you can just sit back and watch it ya know.
So to usher in the new season of course my mind turned to do some artwork for it. Last season i worked and toiled away on some epic posters that I never really took to with the colors. I have a few more ideas of stuff I'd like to do for the team itself. Of course earlier this week I had my "Serious Fun" post as well. Today its all about support though. The best support you can get. The cheerleaders baby. Done as only as I could.
Happy Hump Day all. Hope your week is going by alright. Almost half over now, and even faster since its the four day work week. Labor day weekend was fun, despite having a tight budget. I got out to the Heavenly Bodies BBW Bash on saturday night and hung out with my girls. Great seeing their faces. My friend, Sara, actually gave me the name for this blog. How bout that right? Sunday was a chill day. Hung out with the family and wandered around town here. Monday was good too. Got more family stuff and monday night got to go visit my friend in New Hampshire. Really fun then. ;)
So whats so serious about today's posting?? Footballl!!!! Its back baby. Albeit a little odd to have one game in the middle of the week and then sit around waiting for the explosion on sunday but it should be a good one tonight. Not sure who I want to win, just hope its entertaining.
So to celebrate the new season coming in I did something kinda special. I drew a guy. I know, odd right? Well this guy has been cracking me up and even though some people find him annoying or weird I am loving the "It's Serious Fun" campaign the NFL network is running. That dude is the blue suit is just so committed to his odd character and his delivery is classic. So I wanted to do something with him. I hope you like it.
I'm not even gonna ask if you are in fact ready for some football. let's face it, we all are.
As you can see I had a good time and took a liking to this guy.
Its that time of year again. The crisp autumn air is slowly creeping in. We got a good taste of it yesterday here in New England. The smell or beers and brahts cooking on an open grill in a parking lot filled with cars. Young people entering stadiums half naked with other peoples names painted on their chests and backs. Ahhh yes, its back to football. While the NFL doesnt kick off until next week, we get our first taste of real gridiron competition tonight with the college football season getting underway. I am not a huge fan of it but I do pay attention to how the season unfolds. Its hard not when its the only thing to watch on saturdays ya know.
I don't really have a favorite team. Boston isn't really known for its stellar college football programs anyway. I always root for BC. Pay attention to the Harvard and Yale thing. Other than those ones I go for the midwest teams mainly. ohio State, Michigan, Michigan State, Wisconsin. Pretty much all the schools with good college hockey teams I pay attention too. My school didnt have a team so i can pick and choose. we barely had enough people in my class to fill out a roster anyway.
So as a nice little treat to join the party I did a nice little football theme.
We've got spirit, yes we do. We've got spirit, how bout you??
