If I Were a Boy

[Beyonce]

...then maybe I'd like basketball...but probably not.

So, why do I do this every year?

By this...I mean, find myself again...filling out the dang bracket.

With the exception of football (Fins up!), I am more of an individual sport kind of gal. Love watching tennis (I have a crush on Nadal, mmm!). Swimming, yep (especially now)! Even have had season passes to Utah gymnastics (Red rocks! Went twice this year). And of course....Marathons are totally cool!

But basketball = snore-fest! 

Yet somehow, March Madness sucks me in. Without fail. Every dang year.

So here's my bracket...

[And Emz, I apologize now. I am a Duke Fan. Always have been, always will be. Go blue devils!]

PS - Notice I don't have Duke winning. I've become superstitious. Year after year, I have them marked to win (in hope they will) and then they don't. So this year, let's pin them against their rivals, pretend like they'll lose. Then, BAM! Duke will skrew my bracket and take the win. It's worth a try, right?

Do you fill out a bracket? Who do you have going all the way?

Dot Johnson Football Pool 2011

After watching a very intense US Open Men's Final, I switched over to Monday Night Football to support my boys!

But sadly, I report, the Dolphins lost last night.

And against the Patriots of all teams. Ya, they are good. But after living in Mass and hearing about them in every commercial, radio station, news story, paper, etc while trying to support my long run of support towards the Dolphins....I hate the Patriots! It would be comparable to a Yankee having to hear about the Red Sox. (Thank goodness I like the Sox...but I am not a huge baseball follower so I have to relate it to football).

The first half they were hanging on. (With the minor scare of a Jason Taylor injury...thank goodness he's fine!)

The second half went in the crapper.

I turned it off after the 99 yd. interception for a touchdown. Spent.

Not. off. to. a. good. start. GUYS!

That's one of the two teams I ended up with in the Dot Johnson Football Pool at our draft breakfast. The other was the Saints.

I traded Leah the Broncos for the Dolphins. Neither won...so...it wasn't a bad decision...just yet.

It would just be nice to win the football pool for once...and support my boys while I am at it (I still love you, Reggie).

...and KC's probably got less of a chance than me. Cardinals and Bucs. Sad. For. Him.
