Friday Favorites: Jan. 29 Edition

This will be a new feature here, I’ll post it every Friday. It will be my way to recap the week in sports.

Here we go:

Friday Favorites

Quote of the week: “I know he’d like to win the first for British tennis since what is it, 150,000 years?” – Roger Federer, talking about facing Britain’s Andy Murray. Britain has not won major singles men’s title since 1936.

Federer is talented, witty and has just the right amount of arrogance. I enjoy him immensely.

Story of the week: Colts and Saints in the Super Bowl. This is a complete reversal of the BCS national title game this year, where I didn’t really want either team to win. Now, I don’t know who I want to win, because these teams have my two favorite quarterbacks in the NFL. I have followed the careers of Drew Brees and Peyton Manning since they were in college. The Saints and Brees are my sentimental pick, but a second Super Bowl title for Peyton Manning pretty much cements his legacy as the greatest quarterback the game has ever seen.  I guess I’ll be happy either way.

Videos of the week: While we’re talking about Peyton Manning…

Peyton Manning and Kenny Mayne combining forces makes my life better. So does Manning speaking Gaelic. That is all.

I don't watch the show, but this Jersey Shore spoof with the Kansas women soccer team is fantastic.


Friday Fails…

Swimsuits already out at Target. There isn’t a female in the world (fine, Megan Fox, but I’m certain she doesn’t shop at Target) that’s thinking about swimsuits right now. Not physically, not emotionally, not at all. So please, stop making us feel bad about how we’re not in swimsuit shape right now. Or for some of us, how we’ve never been in swimsuit shape.


Gilbert Arenas: it’s a failure on several levels, OBVIOUSLY. Maybe this should be not just a Friday fail, but a year-long fail, or a life fail. Just some seriously bad choices made by Arenas and Javaris Crittenton.
