Why the Saints will win the Super Bowl

I am predicting the Saints will win. Yes, I'm a chick. My football knowledge is limited, especially when it comes to NFL. I was raised in the South, and it's all about college ball down here. SEC baby, it's a religion! That being said, my prediction has nothing to do with observed data, previously played games, defensive line ups, or bookmakers predictions. It's everything to do with heart. Football to me is family fun time, gather round, root on your team, share some libations, and some great food. The super bowl is largely about food and commercials.

If you know me well, you might be surprised at my pick of the Saints to win. Yes, I am rooting for the Colts. Here's my reasoning: My first team in NFL loyalty goes to the New England Patriots. What? A Georgia girl can be a PATS fan? Well yes, that's what happens when you marry a guy from Mass. And let's be real people, Tom Brady is by far the best looking quarterback in the game. A girl needs something to keep her interest. Tight white pants will only get you to half time, but Tom's dreamy eyes and chin dimple go all the way to over time. My second NFL team is the Falcons, because a girl has to remain loyal to the home team. Even though when I was growing up, my parents were huge Braves fans, and we even made it to some Atlanta Flames hockey games. Remember them? NFL? Not so much. It's all about the SEC, wait I said that already. The Colts are my 3rd favorite NFL team, and that is because of Peyton Manning, though he wore a #16 when I truly loved him. GO VOLS!

Okay, I'll be the first to admit, Peyton Manning can be mildy annoying. He's actually quite a humble guy, but he does wear a half-smile type of smirk that can make him look aloof and superior. The oreo commercial is not good. However, one of the sports channels was airing the 1997 SEC championship game at 5:30 this morning, and while channel surfing, I actually watched it. It was a great game! 30-29 over Auburn, played right here in the dome. Lovely. I fell in love with Peyton all over again. Peyton may have a deep-seated love for New Orleans, but trust me, he will only be thinking about one thing out there on Sunday: Beating the Saints, furthering his quest to become the greatest quarterback of all time. A second super bowl ring couldn't hurt, and you can bet that's what he'll be gunning for.

Now, back to how I ended up picking Payton over Peyton: New Orleans could use this win. It's a great town, a town that could use a boost! It's the first place I ever gambled, or met a little person dealer. Cards people, not drugs. The Saints have never won a super bowl. It's human nature to pull for the under dog. So today, I pick the Saints to win. And either way, I'll feel happy. This is one super bowl I can't lose. It will not be like the year the PATS lost to the Giants ending the PATS quest for a perfect season, on my son's 2nd birthday. Nope, it won't be anything like that. Praise the Heavens!

vaguebooking

So I read about vaguebooking on urban dictionary.com. Their definition is:

An intentionally vague Facebook status update, that prompts friends to ask what's going on, or is possibly a cry for help? Example of vaguebooking: Mary "wonders if it's all worth it."

It's the modern day version of sighing out loud, dropping hints that you want someone to ask how things are, a plea for attention. How many vaguebookers do you know? There are a few in my circle. Are you guilty ?
If you think about it, everyone garners for attention in some fashion. Buying a new blouse, changing our hair color, blogging, twittering about dinner at the new hot spot = all forms of sharing information with others in the hope of response. Response to our actions satisfies that basic human need to connect with others. I mean, you don't see animals behaving this way. Fido isn't going to be sharing with all his friends where the new female basset hound in heat is located. He doesn't have a need for a pat on the back, a high five, or simply concern from his four pawed pals. Human connection, love and support of others, it's what we all want. Is vaguebooking the new way to get it?

For Real?

Like I am going to open an email from Homeezneedfreeporn@noreply.com. Seriously people. How much time do you have?
