NFL Week 6

Apparently I will be keeping you up to date with all things NFL, since I have nothing else to blog about and also because I've been doing it for the past five weeks.

Anyway, on Sunday the whiny, crybaby Patriots and their whiny, crybaby quarterback lost to Denver! The game had to go into overtime, and the game finally ended with a field goal by the Denver kicker. All the AFC teams wore their throwback jerseys, and let me tell you, the Denver throwbacks are not pretty. Their colors are ( get ready to gag in horror). . . brown and yellow! Worst football colors in the history of football colors!



Indianapolis beat the Titans by a lot (I forget the final score). Tennessee is probably the biggest shock of this season so far. Last year they won 10 straight games, and they are currently 0-5. Will the real Tennessee Titans please step forward?

Happy Birthday!

Today is my wonderful mother's 40th birthday! Ironically, we didn't get her anything, (I completely forgot about it until this morning) but she did get us one of those Vortex footballs that whistle when you throw it hard. And to make it a hundredfold better, it's a Packers football! We've already had a great time throwing it around in the backyard.

Speaking of 40th birthdays, there's that one NFL quarterback who was born today, too. Oh, what's his name. . .oh yeah, Brett Favre. He's 40 today also. What a loser. You can tell he's pretty desperate if he's still playing football at 40 years old, especially for the Vikings.

Well, to end on a happier note,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOMMY!

NFL Week 5

Last Sunday, Benedict Favre and his Vikings beat the Mighty Pack, which was greeted by many tears and gnashing of teeth in the Speckhard household. With this win, Brett Favre becomes the fist NFL quarterback to beat every single team in the league.

There were many fantastic plays on both sides of the field, and I'm fairly sure that if we didn't have seven sacks we would've at least brought it into overtime. For example, Clay Matthews stripped the ball away from Adrian Peterson and took it to the end zone. This is Adrian Peterson we're talking about. No mere mortal could strip the ball away from him.

Well, we put up a valiant fight. "We" meaning everyone but the offensive line. It looks like they're still atrocious. I am going to sue someone if they don't start playing like they're getting payed millions.

Movie Day

Once every quarter my wonderful homeroom teacher gives us "Movie Day", in which he picks out a movie to watch and we bring in whatever food or beverage we want and we spend two periods watching a movie and eating. Yes, I know what you're thinking. Best. Teacher. Ever. Oh, but that's just the icing on the cake!

He is a DIE HARD Packer fan! AND he makes - repeat - makes us stand on our desks and sing "Happy Birthday" as loud as we possibly can whenever someone has a birthday. Yes, I have to admit. He is the best teacher ever.

Just kidding. It's a wig.

Jacob being as cute as ever.

Half Marathon

A few days ago my mom (who has already run a half marathon) ran in the Fort Wayne Mini, and in November she's going to run in the Indianpolis Full Marathon.

Unfortunately, her legs got very chafed by her shorts, and there was a bad rash and it started to bleed. She said her shower really hurt!

Sadly, we didn't get to watch her because we were at my dad's cousin Jerry's house (see post below), but I'm sure she did great!
