What a sports weekend!

So Friday night the NY Rangers looked like a tired team after an exhausting stretch that culminated in an exciting Winter Classic victory over the hated Flyers and they STILL managed to beat the Penguins 3-1, this team is the real deal!  I love every facet of the team and it's cast of characters (all highlighted in HBO's fantastic docudrama 24/7: The Road to the Winter Classic) and June is looking really exciting right now. ;)  Even got to rub it in my cousin's face a little.  Sorry Steph. :P

Then on Sunday in the early edition, Eli and the Giants basically had their way with the Atlanta Falcons for a beat down to the tune of 24-2.  The Defense didn't give up a single point. Of course next week against team discount double check should be a little more of a challenge, but ELIte Eli should be able to hang with the perennial MVP.

Finally, the sports weekend was capped off with the Tebow Express making magic!  Double Pittsburgh pain this weekend... sorry Steph again. I'm sure I'll blog on the merits of Tim Tebow soon enough, but how can you not like this guy!?  Next weekend should be great, Giants / Packers and Broncos / Patriots!  Can't wait!

Strike Three...

And just like that, the New York Yankees season is over.  With a wimper.  It's weird though, I never got the vibe from this team that it was a championship caliber team.  Last night's loss, while disappointing, wasn't gut wrenching.  Maybe this means I'm focused on other priorities in life, maybe it means I just didn't have high expectations for the team.  Maybe it just means I can focus on Rangers hockey right from the get go!  Last season my 4 month old daughter would lock into hockey, she obviously had no idea what was going on, but when the game was on, her eyes were locked in.  Soon as there was a commercial break or intermission, she would look around, play with the dangling toys from her bouncer, maybe cry or fuss a little... but the second the ice was back, her head was glued to the television set!  It was hysterical to watch!  Now that she's going to be a year old, I'm curious to see how she reacts to the games again.  It's going to be so much fun taking my kids to Rangers games! Can't wait!  Now if only Staal would recover from the Crosbyitis and get back on the ice!
