Girl vs. Boy

The Cowboys lost, boo hoo

Posted by: orboy on: January 14, 2008

Dallas Cowboys vs. NY Giants.  Winner?  Giants.

It was a great game that Girl and I watched over at a friends house, though not without its consequences. You see, Girl is very much a Dallas fan.  So much, in fact, that when the game gets exciting, as it did with the Giants, Girl gets crazy and likes to flail her arms about.  Given that I was sitting next to her during this game, it meant I got hit – a lot.  Luckily, no real harm was done (thanks to a couple of very soft pillows that I used for my protection).

I feel bad for Girl, though, her team having lost.   And, really, I’ve been finding myself rooting for Dallas when watching them play, no doubt as a result of my closeness to Girl. What can I say, they’re (for the most part) a great team. But I think, in the end this is good. Not only for my safety… well, I guess it is mostly for my safety.  Because if Dallas beat the Giants and went up against the Packers, I think I would find myself cheering against Girl’s beloved team and I can’t imagine that would end well :-o .

Well, the Giants beat the Packers and my brother-in-law is now happy. And he needs happiness right now – way more than I need happiness. So, even though I love my Cowboys, I rooted for the Giants to beat the Packers and I will rooting for the Giants to win the Superbowl… For the sake of happiness. In addition to that, I have always harbored a belief that if your team gets beat in the playoffs, you should automatically start cheering for the team that beat your team. I think it’s because I’d rather lose to the best (Superbowl Champions) than lose to some random team that went nowhere.

That’s a dumb belief. That’s just my belief.

Your face!

I just got served
