Are you ready for some football?

Now that the Olympics are over, no more Synchronized Diving, Field Hockey, Rowing, or Badminton, how are we gonna survive?  Thank goodness it's almost football season.  These preseason games are so hard to watch, and with the "scab" refs, how hard is it to figure out how far 15 yards is?  It will be interesting to see Peyton in Denver, the two head Quarterback monster in New York, and how 'bout them Seahawks?  Yeah, can't wait to see what Pete Carroll has up his sleeve this year.  Oh well, at least I know what I will be doing on Sunday, Monday, and Thursday nights for the next couple of months.

And now this, Google, falling prey to Field Hockey, and making it it's header, wow. I would have thought that Gymnastics or Swimming would have got the nod today.

2012 Topps Olympics Flag Patch

I decided to bust a Wal-Mart blaster box of 2012 Topps Olympic Cards and was pleasently surprised by the wide variety of athletes I never knew existed and the sports they play.  I did pull one of those Manu-Patches of Old Glory and a Gold Medal Winning Swimmer Rebecca Soni.  U-S-A, U-S-A!
