I’ve made it no secret that I’m a huge NY Jets fan on this blog. And I have to admit that also being a NY Yankees fan I’ve always wondered what the 1986 World Series felt for my fellow NYY fans. See in 1986 I wasn’t even conceived! That World Series was the famous “Bill Buckner” through the legs game. And was also the creation of “Gotta Believe” by NYM pitcher, Tug McGraw. My fellow Yankee fans must’ve wanted to pluck their eyeballs out and not witness the pain of having two of their top rivals reach the mecca of all baseball… the freaking World Series! In the end the lesser of the two evils, the New York Mets, beat the Red Sox in seven games and captured the 1986 Champs title.
Now like I said before, I always wondered how it felt to be a Yankee fan during that series. And now I do, and boy I wish I never thought those evil thoughts! My Jets were having the worst season possible, and I always though to myself, “Well it can’t get worse than the Kotite-era!” But it did, and not because the Jets sucked big time! Throughout the whole 2007 NFL season the story was the high and mighty Patriots, and the story in the New York metro area was the emergence of the NY Giants. Eli Manning went from sucker to super in a matter of weeks in December. And even though the Pats beat the Giants to secure an undefeated season of 16-0, I thought that that was the last I would see misery this football year. And again, I was wrong!
I watched all the playoff games like a good girl would, and I secretly watched to see the Draft order unfold (April 26th can’t come soon enough!). But I was disgusted as the weeks went by and the Giants kept coming from under nowhere (thank you two Bays team scum!), and the Pats kept rolling along leaving nothing behind. And then it hit me on late Sunday afternoon in my bed doubled over with a wicked stomach virus … It’s a Giants versus Patriots Super Bowl … and I puked again!
So unlike last year when I went to the Super Bowl, I’m not going this year! I’m telling people that I won’t watch, but secretly I’ll act like the ditsy blonde bimbo out there and watch the game just for the commercials. After all Jeter’s in a Gatorade one, and Justin Timberlake is in a Pepsi one! Go Super Bowl Commercials, and asterisk next to the Patriots victory please!!! 
Since the fall semester ended I’ve been taking some much needed time off! So with the spring semester starting within the next few weeks, the blog will be up and running again!
