Peyton Manning is an amazing quarterback, but he also gives back to the community as a mentor. Watch Peyton give back to those who need it the most.

This is an SNL classic.

Yes, I’m ready for some football. Bring on the Superbowl!

This is proof that advertising works… 

Our family has been watching bowl games for the past two weeks. And at dinner last night, Samuel, my 3 year old, picks up his cup and drinks down all of his water. Then he turns to me and says, “Ahh, drinkability.”

I, then, scolded him (while trying not to laugh), telling him not to repeat slogans from beer commercials. And now “drinkability” has become the underground word of choice amongst the kids. During last night’s Fiesta bowl, there was much whispering and snickering  during commercial breaks amongst the kids. 

Thank you Bud Light. I can’t wait for him to pull out that nugget, next Sunday at church…

Okay, so I’ve been watching College Football over the past few weeks and noticed a trend. Have you ever noticed that the fans from every team love to shout “We’re #1” to the cameras? It’s a completely asinine statement, especially when it’s from college teams that aren’t anywhere near number one (or even ranked). Now I know that “we’re number 37th!” doesn’t have the same ring, but still. I’m sure there are other things you can chant…

Maybe it’s just me, but have you ever noticed it?

Well, it was Super Bowl time again! This year (and most) I had no vested interest in the game, but always as a family we’re looking for any reason to have a party. The idea this year: let the kids pick who they want to win. James picked the Colts and Aida liked the Bears. So to make it fun, we decided that the boys would root for Indianapolis and the girls for Chicago.

We all dressed in team colors, my father bought the kids team hats and we wear ready to go! So with plenty of chips and salsa, the game began. It was a blast. Picking sides engaged the whole family. There was much cheering and gnashing of teeth over the next few hours, and in the end it was a great time had by all.

The results: The boy’s team won! Colts 29 Bears 17. Woo Hoo!

And here’s the reaction amongst the kids: 

Next sports party idea: March Madness (we can’t wait)!

“Colleen [Pavelka] chose to have the birth of their second child induced a few days early so Mark Pavelka could attend Sunday’s NFC Championship showdown between the Bears and the New Orleans Saints.

The baby was due Monday. But when Colleen went in for an appointment Friday afternoon, her doctors told her she could opt for an early delivery. She decided to do so.” Read more here.

Wow, that’s commitment! If only we’d reschedule our lives for the Lord. Amazing what labor we could accomplish for Him.

Did anyone else notice that the Ohio State marching band played the theme to “Titanic” during the half time show? I mean how applicable can you be! Those Buckeyes went down with a thud. 41-14 oh my!

Can you stop the SEC? I think not. With a bowl record of 6 and 3 they’ve made their statement this year.

It’s always great to see a cocky, full of hot air and hype, school go down! Later Buckeyes!

Yes, I’m a Bulldog (UGA) and I’m cheering for Florida!

And yes, it will never happen again.

If you’re bored and want to rub it in to a sorry Ohio State Fan, please go hereand annoy away!
