If you haven't heard the original Black and Yellow by Wiz Khalifa, or the remake Lil Wayne made because he's a Packer Backer, you've missed the boat. Here it is - with lyrics (which are both genius and hilarious):
Enjoy!

My Super Sunday; Duke Pumps NC St.
After a measly 5 hours of sleep last night, I am back in the gym. Practice went well - took some ground balls, hit live, hit of the machines, and spoke on some mental aspects of the game we need to improve on. Overall, I felt it was a successful practice.
I proceeded to set up for the women's basketball game this afternoon at 2 pm, which will hinder my cooking and prep time for Super Bowl Tapas menu at the Darcy Apartment.
I think I'm going with some "buffalo" turkey meatballs, a nice homemade guacamole, and some wings from a new wings joint that just opened up on Broadway. Jesse is making a few things as well, and when Lindsay heads to the store to pick up the last-minute ingredients, I'm sure she'll come back with a few surprises.
Moving on to college hoops, Duke barreled through an over-matched NC State team 76-52 - easily covering the 19.5 point spread. They head in to their Tobacco Road showdown with North Carolina on Wednesday night with a head of steam. UNC is finally playing well again after a year or so of mediocrity. Should be a battle, as it always is with these two teams. Even when one or both teams are struggling, this matchup brings out the beasts in both sides. Tune in to that one.
Finally, the Super Bowl is tonight. Still not sure how the Packers are favored in this one, but I think they will find a way to win. They are inexperienced but I think they'll go in to this one loose. For what it's worth, the game is still the same, it's just magnified by the stage. I will probably only make it to the 3rd Quarter because of fatigue.
Very much looking forward to the commercials - they always give me a good laugh. Doritos has always had good ones in the past, as has Budweiser. I hope there's a dark horse this year that puts out a hilarious commercial that provokes me to impulsively buy their product.

Isn't Sunday A Day Off?
Sunday's are generally an off day, right? Not so fast.
The men's basketball team had a game on MSG at noon, so this guy had to be in at around 7:45am. Not too pleased with that, but I guess whatever pays the bills, right? The camera guys and TV crews were there around 5:00am, so it could be worse. Granted, they probably make somewhere north of what I earn. Met one guy, Pete, a Packer Backer - a grizzled older guy with long white hair underneath his GB beanie. Oh yeah, and he had on a Packers vest. He mentioned how he's worked a bunch of Sunday Night Football games. I feel like I missed an opportunity to make a connection. Damn it.
They lost in case you were wondering, to St. Peter's, 62-53.
I got home around 4:15pm with a bag of food for Nathan and caught the end of the Packers/Bears game. It looked almost like the Packers were trying to give it away there towards the end. I then whipped together some turkey burgers and roasted potato fries for dinner and realized I hadn't posted today. And here I am now. Here's something I always punish myself with - red onions. I can't resist putting them on top of burgers or in pasta salads, but they give me the worst indigestion ever. It's hasn't stopped me from eating them and I don't think it ever will, just thought I'd share my dietary issues with you all.
Steelers just went ahead of the Jets 7-0. Haven't watched any of the game yet, but I'll bear down after this post. I wished all my friends who are Jets fans good luck (like they're part of the team or something) and that was all. I support NY sports (Yankees, Giants, Islanders mainly) so the Jets header is for New York, not necessarily the Jets. Seeing how they were the only football team to make the playoffs, I felt compelled to show my support. If they lose, it comes down tomorrow.
The weather here is frigid - low 20's seem to be the high lately. I wear my Under Armour mask under my wool hat, and I think sometimes it scares the older people living in the building. They look at me like I am a nut job. I'm not, and they realize that once they see Nathan. I can give a shit what I look like, I'm trying to stay warm.
I've been tweeting a lot lately, not that anyone on there gives a shit what I have to say, but you never know. I still feel privileged to have all you people (my Blog Army) following my blog. I hope I don't piss you off with the amount of posts that I put out.
OK, I need to get something to settle my stomach. Damn you, red onions!

Fun Fact
On this day in 1967, the Green Bay Packers (NFL) defeated the Kansas City Chiefs (AFL), 35-10, to win the first Super Bowl played.
Maybe the history will be on the side of the Packers (+1.5) today as they face the Falcons tonight in ATL. Aaron Rodgers can cement his name in Packers lore (yes, without even a Super Bowl appearance) with a win today over Matty Ice and the Dirty Birds.

DeSean isn't a total punk; More snow; Nat'l Championship Game
I thought, based solely on his on field antics and facial ice-grilling against the Giants, DeSean Jackson was just another smug, cocky NFL douche bag. Turns out, the guy's got some class. Take a look at this clip, right around the :18 second mark. I know they both went to Cal, even though Rodgers left for the NFL the year Jackson stepped on campus. Birds of a feather I guess. Game respects game. (Side Note: Jackson threw Vick under the bus after the game, questioning his decision to throw it instead of spiking it - but he's not a bad guy)
Weather is headed back towards the northeast it seems, which I'm not all that upset about. Sure driving in it sucks, but when I take Nathan out to the dog park, the mud created after the snowfall and after most of it melts is a real pain. When there's snow, Nathan just gets wet. Heavy snow is 100%, and winds are gonna be gusty. We live right near the mighty Hudson River, so the winds coming off the river are brutal and frigid. Here's the forecast:
National Championship is on, although I haven't yet tuned in. Rules of Engagement is on until 9:00 and then I'll switch on over. I think it's a repeat though, but I'm going to watch it anyway because Patrick Warburton is one funny mo-fo. I hope Oregon punks these jack wagons from Auburn. Auburn is giving 1.5 points (for you non-gamblers, if you put money on Auburn, they'd need to win by at least 2 points for you to win). Let's Go Ducks! I hope The Duck has to do 200 pushups.
Good night!
