Welcome everyone. If you didn't know by now, I am an avid sports fan, mostly basketball and football. My favorite teams are the Los Angeles Lakers and The Dallas Cowboys (which should tell you I"m not a bandwagon fan). However, sincem moving to the Dallas/FW area in 2003, being a Cowboy fan since '73, I have been checking out the Mavericks. And since the Lakers did not make the playoffs last season, I enjoyed watching and even rooting for the Mavericks. Even went out and bought me a "Dirk" and "Howard" 2006 Western Champtionship Jersey.
I recently purchased a new house in North Texas, about an our or so outside Dallas. My den, family room, media room, or whatever they are calling them these days has been turned into a complete sports fanatic haven. The walls have been painted blue, white and silver. (Yes to honor the Cowboys). I have made a wall for each team and each sport of my liking. I don't like baseball much, with the exception of playing softball, but there is a wall with a slugger and an authentic baseball mit, along with balls. You cannot forget the balls. On another I have boxing gloves and the obituary of the late great Archie Moore, of whom I had the pleasure of being good friends with his daughter and attending his large funeral held in San Diego, California December 17 ,1998. Archie had a street named after him and you could see the family house from the highway.
On anther wall, of course I have tennis rackets and balls and that wall is still under construction. On another wall, I HAD mega Lakers gear until my teenage son jacked me for all my Laker gear AND I lost a lot of Laker paraphenellia, driving from San Diego to Phoenix. There was no way I was stopping in the mountains with an 18 wheeler on my tail going 85 miles per hour. But I still have the basketball and some other items. On another wall I have a golf club and MORE balls On a shelf I have my bowling shoes and my own personalized PURPLE marbleized bowling ball with my nick name on it. "Chklt City". Oh, sue me, that was back in my AOL days. And the biggest wall I saved for the best. My Cowboy wall.. Yooooohooo yall! I have jerseys, I have cups, I have dishes, I have blankets, I have play books and newspaper clippings, I have dancing plushed animals, I have thongs! yes I said thongs. I have t-shirts, I have cusions, I have a personally autobgraphed picture to me from Drew Pearson. They need to go ahead and put him in the hall of fame and stop playing. I have bobbleheads, I have player figures, I have baseball caps, I have Cowboy Christmas hats, I have Cowboy Christmas ornaments. I have cowboy flags and lunch boxes. And if you think that wasn't fanatical, I have a blue Chrysler. Yes, blue. And On each side is a Cowboy car flag, the rims... .haha I mean the HUBCAPS, have cowboy emblems on them, I have stars on them. No it's not over done. Its very tasteful and classy, but it leave no dobout to anyone that I am a Cowboy fan!
Just to make things interesting, I have to tell you who I despise. Write this down, so you all don't rag on me when I say what I feel and trust, me I will say what I feel.
I do NOT like the Eagles
I HATE (ok that's a harsh word) but I can't think of another rightnow, THE RAIDERS!
And I don't like Jacksonville, and that's simply because my boss is from Jacksonville, by way of some South American Island (he says) I say Africa, but that's just me.
The NFL Season is too new, so we will see who makes it onto my list by the end of the season. Although I will say this, after watching the game today against the Eagles and the Giants, I almost dug up some respect for them, but then changed my mind!
Enjoy!
Ms. J.
