T.J.-Who's Yo Mama?

Now's the time when things start to get good...

I'm entering my 8th year in a Fantasy Football league filled with 24 (!) players - most of whom I've either brought to the league, or become great friends with through the league... Today, we received our draft order (I'm stuck with 8th AGAIN) and our schedule (strategizing to take out B-Boy in Week 1!).

This, of course, got me reminiscing, and thinking about a commercial for NFL.com's Fantasy Football setup that forever changed Fantasy Draft Day:

"Championship!"

August 18th can't come soon enough!
(I feel like I said the exact same thing last year!)

The Aftermath

First things first, I'd like to thank all those who came out yesterday, and those who cheered on Da Bears from afar... I appreciate all the sentiments, pre- and post-game...

I hear Arizona is beautiful this time of year... Hopefully Da Bears will be there next year, after this year's heartbreaking loss to the Colts of Indianapolis.

In fact, Super Bowl XLII will take place at the University of Phoenix/Cardinals Stadium - home of the Gators' BCS National Championship win earlier this year...

Now, on to the fun: The Commercials...

First, my top 3 (not necessarily in this order):

Class Mencia:


Rock, Paper, Scissors (Maybe we should try this one at kickball?):


Fist Bumps Are Out:


And one bonus (Don't know how we missed this one last night?):

"Quick, staring contest! You win. you always do..."
- Will Ferrell (as Robert Goulet)

Good luck to everybody on recovering from their "Super Bowl Hangovers." Pictures will be up ASAP.

Super Bowl XLI

Am I allowed to call it the Super Bowl?

I guess as long as I'm not making any money off the phrase, I won't have any problems with the NFL...

Today is the day! Today is the day I've been waiting for my whole life - Da Bears in Da Super Bowl, in Miami! Does it get any better? Only if I were actually going to the game... (Seriously - where are all of these people buying tickets for $2,500 - $4,500?)

Instead, I'm gonna spend the day with my best friends, cheering on Da Bears, and taking in Lou Malnati's Pizza and Vienna Beef Hot Dogs (shipped directly from Chicago). If I can't go to Da Bears, I'm bringing Chicago to me! :)

And to help celebrate Da Bears appearance in Super Bowl XLI, I've got a few celebrity predictions for you below... Please enjoy:

First, an original (Bob Swerski's Super Fans):


Next, my personal favorite (Bob Swerski's Super Fans - with Michael Jordan):


And, finally, a current perspective (Conan O'Brien):


And, finally, from the Manning family vaults:


Nice fucking Tango, Peyton...

Just over 8 hours to go...! I'll leave you with one last thought:

Bear Down, Chicago Bears.
Make every play, clear the way to victory!
Bear Down, Chicago Bears.
Put up a fight with a might so fearlessly!

We'll never forget the way you thrilled the nation,
With your T formation.

Bear Down, Chicago Bears.
And let them know why you're wearing the crown.

You're the pride and joy,
of all Illinois.

Chicago Bears, Bear Down!
