And the hype begins…

In my last post I talked a little bit about the excitement that I’m feeling since the upcoming Super Bowl is the last football game we’ll have to suffer through until August/September…. well, the downside to that anticipation is that the hype building up to the game is almost unbearable.  On the bright side though, a lot of the stories that will come out in the next few weeks will appeal to us girls, and hey, can’t complain about that, right?  We need something to keep us interested between commercials!

One of the first “interesting for a girl” pieces that I read appeared on ESPN.com earlier today, written by Rick Reilly, who used to write for Sports Illustrated.  His article talks about the Cardinals awesome wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald and his father, Larry Fitzgerald Sr., who happens to be a pretty big-name sportswriter for a paper in Minnesota.  Well, of course Larry Sr. has to cover the game in Tampa, and there is a rule in sports that no cheering is allowed in the press box, so he will have to sit silently, work and watch his eldest  son play in the Super Bowl.  Could you even imagine how hard that would be?  Also some pretty interesting stuff in there about his hair and its connection to his Mom…it seriously brought tears to my eyes…I love Larry Fitzgerald and his dad….so cute.

 

Check out Reilly’s article and start getting in to the hype so you’re prepared to dazzle at your Super Bowl parties… seriously, sportsgirl might have a new favorite wide receiver even though his squad defeated my beloved Eagles last week.   I might even draft him first in Fantasy Football because of this article (JK guys).  And don’t forget to keep an eye on college basketball, the season is starting to heat up and I’ll be writing more about it, whether I like it or not (blahhhh).  Until then…
