The Perfect Lunchtime Read - Trash Talking Slob
Hi Friends on Facebook and Friends in Life,
I hope you had a ‘super’ fun weekend! I have zero bragging rights this morning AND I’m alright with that because in the words of Rosie Perez, “sometimes when you win, you really lose…sometimes when you lose, you really win…sometimes when you win or lose, you actually tie…sometimes when you tie, you actually win or lose” (White Men Can’t Jump). So I’m all right, I’m dealing with the ultimate result of the game. The Green Bay Packers weren’t the only winners last night, there was millions of people that won small and big bets for the Packers to take the win. I’m not a gambler, so thankfully I didn’t lose out on anything other than the opportunity to scream, “whose time is it? OUR TIME! In your face! Tell that to your Momma! Black and Yellow (x3) Take that (x3)”.
Birdman from Ca$h Money Records, bet $1 million on the Greenbay Packers to win the Super Bowl on a radio station and his friend said “what are we gon’ do when we win? Are we gonna paint the town red? I wanna go somewhere I ain’t never been…I wanna go somewhere I can’t pronounce”. And with great confidence Birdman answered “wherever, wherever, point it out on the map”. I can only imagine what he said after the game, “Brrrrrrrrr Birdman! I told you! Your money is now my Ca$h Money! Brrrr Birdman!”
I like to think that I have the heart of a gambler minus the guts of a gambler. Meaning I won’t take the risk of losing money but I’ll donate my heart to a team like I know the players personally. Last night was a perfect example of this, I watched the Super Bowl with my familia and I don’t think I’ve ever trashed talked so much in my life! On every good play by the Steelers I would jump up and yell, “That’s what I’m talking about!” My tweets were obnoxious and my posts were nothing but Black and Yellow. Haterade was flowing through my veins and nothing could stop me from tormenting my family members that were cheering for the Packers.
My commitment to the Steelers was almost as strong as my commitment to becoming the most stereotypical football fan imaginable. I polished off more buffalo wings than I could count, I drank beer like it was a rich red bordeaux - not a drop of beer was left in any of my bottles. During commercial breaks I made paper towel cones to hold more chips that I chomped down at record speed. I ate four different kinds of wings, fajitas with all the fixings, Delissio pizza, two glasses of Grey Goose & Soda and Chinese mango cake. As much as I binged, I won’t be needing rehab, just a couple of days in the comfort of my home.
In between dipping my pizza crust into a bowl of mayo chipotle sauce and sucking on a hot wing, I promised a Packers fan that I would write congratulations to whoever won and post a pic of them celebrating (a little bit)…so here it is:
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE GREENBAY PACKERS! You did it! The fans worked hard to cheer you on to a victory and you delivered. That about does it.
P.S. If you just started watching football yesterday, there will NOT be any ‘Monday Night Football’ tonight. Yes, the seasons actually over but don’t worry you have plenty of time to learn the game and players before the start of next season. Welcome to football :)
Happy Monday!
