By default, I follow sports in general. Since Mr. BKL listens to sports talk radio and some form of sporting event is common on our TV, I learn via osmosis. And, ESPN is the best channel on the TV’s at the gym. I am not joking. Lucky for him, I ask the important questions. “What is play action?” , “Why do the linemen have different cut jerseys then the wide receivers?”, “I really hate the Carolina Panther’s logo and colors. Hello the ‘90’s called….” , “Why did Kobe do that ridiculous photo shoot? But I am glad he did because it makes me giggle every time.” “Baseball is starting ALREADY?” And so forth…
Because of the colossal Metrodome collapse of 2010, the Minnesota Vikings moved their game to the University of Minnesota’s TCF Bank Stadium last night. If you live in this state, you must have been living in a secluded igloo if you didn’t know that. It sure was talked about endlessly, adding to the already abundance of talk for a team that had a lot of hype beginning the season.
I think one word sums up the Vikings season: Drama. I think 75% of it falls on Brett Favre’s shoulders. I can’t quite figure out why sportscasters and game announcers obsess and virtually high five Favre every chance they can get. Sure he was a great player and holds many records – I get that. I am not a Vikings fan but if I was, I think I still would be ready for him to take a bow. For good. Last night, as the Bears clinched the NFC North, the cameras followed Favre around after the game instead of showing any Bears players or interviewing anyone on either team for that matter.
I am the last person who should be talking about football, but enough with the Favre-fest already. I am ready to not have to hear about him and his drama. And with that, I will say Go Bears.
Speaking of games…I was tagged!
Lisa is keeping a fun game of questions going and tagged me.
1. Best book you’ve ever read and best book you’ve read recently?
Best book I’ve ever read has to go back to Wuthering Heights. I should probably re-read it again and see if I would still say that.
Best book lately has to be The Glass Castle by Jeanette Wells. A dear friend borrowed it to me and I just ate it up. (Not literally, that would be rude.) I recommend it 100%. Thanks Ang
2. If you could be any animal, what would you be and why?
Even though I don’t particularly favor cats, I think I would be a cat. They get to lay around and nap in the sun all day without a care in the world.
3. Favorite race distance? Care to elaborate?
Well, since I have only technically run one race in the past 10 years, I am not the expert on this one. I loved racing the 800m in high school though. I am hoping the half marathon is a favorable distance for me in April.
4. What’s a favorite bible verse, quote or thought that encourages you?
“Be the change that you want to see in the world.” I think this is Gandhi.
5. White milk or chocolate milk?
I prefer white actually! Chocolate is a nice treat sometimes.
6. What 5 places are on your “must visit” list? (If you’ve already been to some of them you can still include if you like).
- New York City
- London
- Paris
- Hawaii
- Australia
7. What’s your go-to brand of shoes? I’m thinking running shoes here, but a girl needs classy dress shoes too, so share both.
I have always run in Nikes. They seem to work for me.
For other shoes, I am cheap and get stuff from Target and Famous Footwear.
Did you watch Monday Night Football last night? Then tell me your answers to the questions above!
