This Week in Sports

I'm finally back with a sports post, albeit light. Enjoy!

Things I liked:

• This girl was looking for a date to her sorority formal, so she decided to make a video, reminiscent of the military members who asked Justin Timberlake and Mila Kuniz out. She, however, failed miserably. Rather than asking out Jeremy Lin, the Knicks Asian-American point guard (who went to Harverd...), she asked out Jerry Linn, a black player for the Giants...who just won the Super Bowl. Amazing. Ah-mazing.

• This guy has taken the internet by storm. He came up with a creative behind-the-backboard-distraction sign for the Alabama/Ole Miss game on Feb. 4.

• The Red Wings have set a new record - they won 23 games in a row. The 22 game record was set by the Boston Bruins 8 years ago. Proud of my team!
  

Things I didn't like:

• Kris Humphries is still getting booed when he plays. People are seriously booing the kid? Did they watch the overly produced Kim & Kourtney take New York? Was it not obvious that Kim Kardashian is a selfish, uncompromising person who didn't attempt to even be married?? Let the man play.
  

Things that surprised me:

• This surprised me and and pretty much the rest of the country. Here's the story...in a Linfographic. All the plays on his name have been amazing. Linsanity was the first, I believe. I think my favorite is Love you Lin time.

Something new: Did you watch the Grammy's? Doesn't feel like there's been a lot of new music in the last year - I mean, that song Black & Yellow was nominated for a Grammy. Wtf?!



Something old: I feel like, in the wake of Whitney's passing, I have to include a Whitney song. HOWEVER, what is up with that fact that our society glorifies someone who became a drug addict and basically killed themselves more than someone like Etta James who led a great life and died at an old age? Not ok, y'all - something's messed up.



Think about that and have a great weekend!

Super Bowl Fever

Congrats to the New York Giants for winning the Super Bowl . . . again.

Now on to the commercials. There are two spots that really stuck with us, the M&M spot and the Kia Sandman spot. 

What were your favorite spots?
