At some point this fall, I picked up -- from Orson Swindle at Every Day Should Be Saturday, I believe -- the excellent phrase "sack of crazy weasels". As in, "Houston Nutt packed up his family and his sack of crazy weasels and moved them down to Oxford this weekend." Sack of crazy weasels! You guys, I love this phrase a lot. I want to describe everything and everyone in my life as having a sack of crazy weasels. Sadly, this is not true. The only sack of crazy weasels currently in my day to day life involves, well, me.


Two weeks ago, I said The littlest Manning is going to the Super Bowl, and if he manages to dethrone Tom Brady and the Pats, Archie will have to love Eli best for a whole year. And that is why I am rooting for the Giants in the Super Bowl.

ARCHIE HAS TO LOVE ELI BEST FOR A WHOLE YEAR, YOU GUYS. It was a fantastic game capped off by an amazing ending and a round of kamikazes for the bar. And the Tar Heels beat FSU in overtime even after losing their point guard to injury. Sunday was a pretty good day. Here, please celebrate Eli with a Ryan Parker penned victory song. (Song not suitable for Patriots fans.)

Also, I'm really, really hungover. That last kamikaze was a poor idea. shep. even told me it was a bad idea! AND YET, I STILL DID IT. Someday I'll grow up and be an adult, but that day was not yesterday, apparently.

Eli totally gets to sit at the grown-up table now.

i used to know a dude whose favorite expression was like a pair of crazed weasels on the front lawn.

i think it was the addition of the front lawn that really gave it the je ne sais awes.

the front lawn is the best part.

So what happens to the poor third Manning brother? He's not in football, let alone a QB, right?

Well, Cooper's the oldest, so I suppose he gets love for being the first-born?

I thought of you immediately when the game was over. Eli has love! Or should I say Elisha has love (no really, Eli-sha). I am so happy for the puppy you have no idea.

I am totally going to steal that line and use it at work the next time I have to deal with crazy people.

I wonder if Peyton woke Eli up this morning by leaning over his bed and whispering, "Just remember, Dad only loves you until the start of the preseason. Then it's anyone's game."

Heh - I totally thought of you at some point last night! Hurray for Eli! He literally won his father's love - time-limited, of course.
