Destination Phoenix

Ok, I am always excited at this time of year, because the NFL season is about to start. I also just realized that SuperBowl XLII will be in the Phoenix, AZ area. Even though I knew where Phoenix is, for some reason I always thought it was pretty far from Southern California. So, the NFL fanatic that I am, I mapquest the damn place.

It's not even a 6 hours drive!!! That's a drive from here to San Franciso.

If the Panthers make it to the Superbowl, you better believe my ass will be there. Oh, I'm going baby! I was at the Super Bowl in San Diego some years back, and it was such an experience. If the cats make it, I'll be in Phoenix.

Getting closer & Good Luck Vick

1st preseason game is a couple of weeks away on August 11 against the Giants. I've kind of been away from the NFL in the off season. Besides personnel moves, I am usually not one of those people that keeps up much with their teams in the the offseason. Draft was solid and team looks so good on paper this year, but then the same was the case last year.

I won't have DirectTV this year, so I'm going to begin my search for a bar in the Long Beach area that has the games. I think we will have a great season. Long time Panther nightmare Ron Mexico AKA Michael Vick is in toruble. He did not get a DUI, He was not caught with some weed or guns. PETA is trying to nail him for dogfighting and it looks like this is serious. As a bitter Falcon hater, it is my duty to talk trash to anyone associated with that team, let alone the top dog. However, I still wanna see Vick play. We have a young but heated rivalry with the Falcons, and he is a major part of it. I don't think the NFL has seen a player of this caliber ever, and it will be a huge loss if this affects his career. Hopefully Vick will beat this and I'll be back to making herpes jokes :-)
