i think it might be safe to peek now...

this was a loooong day of sports for me. if there's anything more tormenting to watch than the Packers losing, it has to be the Packers losing to the stupid Bucs. Green Bay starts the season 0-3. =(



in case anyone is keeping track, we have a new addition to Dawn's list of "Most Annoying NFL Players". joining the likes of the Manning brothers, Randy Moss, Keyshawn Johnson & Warren Sapp (just to name a few) is Cadillac Williams. no surprise that he plays for Tampa. *rolling my eyes*



and after a *major* nail-biter, somehow the Patriots did what the Patriots do best & that's pull one out of their backside when they played a lousy first half, suffered a key defensive injury & played so sloppy on offense they were almost unrecognizeable.

thank God for halftime.

seems they got their game on when they stepped back into the locker room because when they started up the 2nd half they looked a whole lot better.

even so, in true New England fashion, they won it in the last seconds of the game on the trusty foot of Vinatieri. good thing *something* on that team is reliable.

as much as i like Big Ben & the Steelers, i don't want them to outshine my Patriots. i'm hoping they successfully got under Ben's skin & into his head...cause quite frankly, Pittsburgh is one scary team & the Patriots will need any edge they can get...

...and speaking of nail-biters, the Red Sox keep pace with the Yankees, tied for first place in the AL East. i have a feeling it's going to all come down to that least Boston/New York series. just the thought makes me feel somewhat ill...
