I don’t know what you did last night, but I went to the Redskins game with my buddy De in DC.
It was cold and the Redskins lost but we had a great time.
I would tell you more but I am prohibited in doing so without the express written consent of the NFL.
And also I plan on writing about it for BlogHer on Friday.
Oh, and one quick word of advice. If you are going to a Sunday night football game that features a decades long divisional rivalry try to remember to charge your camera battery before you leave the house.

Dirty Pottery.
Has anybody else ever noticed that California Love by 2Pac and Dr. Dre and Mouth For War by Pantera have the same riff just at different tempos and played on different instruments? Gabe pointed this out to me about two weeks ago it has been on my mind ever since.
Speaking of music, can you please recommend some new bands that I might like?
I think The Tampa Bay Rays going to the World Series may be a sign of the Apocalypse.
Did you know that Charles Woodson had his own wine label?
Will somebody go with me to see Twilight? I’m afraid if I ask Gabe he will never stop laughing at me.

I’m not really surprised that I accidentally turned on a UFC event while looking for the UCF game on television.
I mean - the tv is all the way across the room and even with my contacts in my vision isn’t all that great.
What does surprise me is that I did it more than once.
What surprises me even more is that there would be more than one channel showing Ultimate Fighting in the middle of the afternoon, but I suppose that is another post entirely.

I have my first fantasy football draft tonight. I am unreasonably excited.
I think I have 5 live drafts (four online and one in person) and 2 auto-drafts this year.
Does that sound excessive?

My husband says that Fantasy Football is boring and it is like doing accounting for fun. Agree or Disagee?

Ian said “When I grow up I am going to play for the Redskins on tv. I am going to be a throwing back.”
My children have become Washington Redskins fans behind my back. When I turned on the Hall of Fame Game on Sunday night both kids started yelling “Go Redskins!” with no prompting.
I want to lay down the law and explain to them that in THIS house we root for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but I don’t want to quash their individualism.
I understand that the Redskins are now our home team. and I respect that. I want them to be able to think for themselves and make their own decisions.
And I suppose either way they will learn the agony of rooting for a losing team.

Claudia keeps yelling “Go Redskins!”
Now, while I think that it is great to root for the home team - you know, for other people - my daughter just wasn’t raised like that.
What I would like to know is which part of TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS did the girl not understand.
*sigh*
Oh well, at least she is talking about football.

(Her brother just made up for her error in judgment by asking me if it was football season yet. Now that is a boy after my own heart. I wonder how long until he asks for his own fantasy team?)

Is giveaway one word or two? Whatever.
In honor of all the great Dads out there I am giving away an 8 X 10 limited edition matted sports photograph
of your choice from Gold Medal Impressions. Go check it the website. Dick Drumkman has photographs from the NFL, NBA, MLB, NCAA, the Olympics and a whole array of sporting events.
You don’t have to be a father to enter. You don’t even have to be male. You can give the photograph to your father or you can keep it for yourself. I won’t tell anybody.
In fact, all you have to do is leave a comment telling my your favorite athlete or sports team (I won’t even hold it against you if you say The St. Louis Rams or the Indiana Pacers). Then I will have a member of The Goon Squad draw a name out of a hat to determine the winner.
We’ll draw the winning entry on Monday so you have three days to enter. You can enter as many times as you want. I’m feeling generous.

Dick Druckman’s photography is currently on exhibit in numerous countries including the US, China, Japan, Australia, France, Germany, Italy and Canada. Dick’s work has been published in numerous publications including Sports Illustrated and the New York Times.

Yesterday we went to a Washington Nationals game.
It was a beautiful day and we had free tickets and fantastic seats. The new stadium is beautiful and clean. What more could we ask for?
How about Luke Duke singing the National Anthem?
That’s right. You heard me. Tom Wopat sang the National Anthem at the Nats game yesterday. And he sang it well.
Sadly, I forgot my camera so all you get is this blurry picture from my iPhone.
Still. Luke Duke
. Sweet.
(I was more of a Bo Duke fan myself, but I’ve heard John Schneider’s album and as far as singing goes I’ll stick with Luke.)

Yes, I had Duke winning the whole thing. Thank Ozzy that this wasn’t my wine pool.

If you weren’t at the Caps/Bruins game yesterday, not only did you miss a great ending (there was a shoot out and Semin and Kozlov scored winning goals for the home team) but you missed fleece helmet day!
Nancy and I totally rocked the hats, didn’t we?
*sigh*
We really should have asked someone else to take the picture. Whenever I take a picture of myself my head looks huge. Of course Nancy looks adorable.
We had a great time and drank some non-green beer.
Proof:
If you look very carefully you can see the Capitals logo on my shirt.
You know, you would think a city that closed down half of its streets for a St. Patrick’s Day parade would at least have green beer at a hockey game. Come on! We played the Bruins. The Boston Bruins.
Speaking of beer, I would like to apologize to anyone who saw the picture of the twins’ sonogram yesterday and thought I was pregnant. I am not and I never plan on being in the future. We have had that surgically taken care of. YOU can have as many children as you want, but we’re sticking with two. When the twins were infants I had a recurring nightmare that I found out I was pregnant with triplets and we were going to have five children under the age of two.
Okay, this post is going nowhere. Tune in later when I make more sense.
Have a great St. Patrick’s Day everyone!
