2013 Cute Quarterback Showdown
This Sunday, the AFC and NFC championships go down. It has been a long NFL season for me, a Panthers fan, and I couldn't care less who wins the Super Bowl if it's not Super Cam. With that said, it's important that I still write about sports. It's even more important for most of my friends (who are girls and care nothing about football) that I give you this:
(1st Annual) The Cute Quarterback Showdown. Will it be the Falcons or the 49ers? The Patriots or the Ravens? Let's take a LOOK.
Matt Ryan vs. Colin Kaepernick
To quote Jermaine Dupri: "Welcome to Atlanta where the players play." Matty Ice is the Boston College grad who got picked third overall in the 2008 draft. He doesn't know what it's like to not be in the playoffs, but hasn't gone to a super bowl. He's the good ole American boy type, stays mostly out of the media (trouble), and has no visible tattoos. Now on to Kaepernick. This guy came out of nowhere (literally, he's from Wisconsin) and straight stole the starting QB spot from Alex Smith. He was an even better baseball player in his day and was recruited by the Chicago Cubs first, but chose football. Smart move, pre-Super Bowl champ. I guess the entire sleeve of tattoos on both arms hasn't taken away a bit of his arm strength. If it's a tight game, I call Colin's number to get that rushing TD. If it's a Friday night, I just give Matt my number.
Tom Brady vs. Joe Flacco
If you are a human, you've heard of Tom Brady. If you're a sports fan, you're tired of him. If you're a male, you're jealous of him. And if you're a super model, you've dated him. Let's look past the fact that when you google image Tom, you get more pics of him in scarves than his #12. The dudes got major game. That's why he's got Super Bowl rings for days. It's also why he'll beat the Ravens on Sunday. Joe Flacco aint half bad either. Looking past the fact that purple really isn't anyone's color and ONLY Maryland natives will ever pull for these birds, I would want him as my QB. But not more than Tommy fresh.
To make this post more reliable and less like an episode of the Bachelorette, I pick the 49ers and the Pats to finish out the road to Super Bowl Sunday. The Niners are too good and the Ravens just aren't good enough. I'm not sure the last second field goal win in Atlanta will get them through another game. Maybe I'm wrong about these game predictions. But if I'm wrong that Matt Ryan isn't the HANDS DOWN winner of (1st Annual) The Cute Quarterback Showdown, I don't want to be right.

Incase you missed it
Just some highlights as they relate to nothing, really.
Movie Review: Les Miserables. The Christmas day debut movie/musical/cry fest was fantastic. That goes for the cast as well, however, maybe they casted it so that Joe Smith citizen would go see it. I think they could’ve found more musical talent and it would’ve been just as good (if not better) than hiring all the hotshots to give their best go at it. Do Wolverine and Cat Woman have great voices? YES. And not that I know that much about the pool of musical talent available (let’s be honest, I think Glee kids are crazy talented) but maybe some better voices with just as pretty faces are out there somewhere? I did cry when Anne busted out “I Dreamed a Dream” because it’s ridiculous and death was looming. I’m pretty sure I heard a few sniffles from the male audience as we left too. So bravo, Mis.
Side note to Russell Crowe: stick with action films. Love you though.
Football Review: The Miserables. The BCS National Championship game turned out exactly how none of us planned. Of course we all expected Alabama to win, but we at least expected Notre Dame to give themselves a fighting chance. I don’t think anyone would argue that it was a pretty big embarrassment given all the hype that Notre Dame was given throughout the whole season. Eddie Lacy for Alabama rushed for 140 yards and McCarron threw for 264 yards, right past the apparently best defensive player in the country, Monti Te’o. A game like that just isn’t good for ratings either, as I was probably in the majority who stopped watching it at halftime. Not the best way to end a pretty good college football season when even I gave Notre Dame the benefit of the doubt. Oh well. They dreamed a dream.
TV: Pretty Little Liars. The winter premiere of PLL debuted this week, giving various tweens and 20-somethings purpose in life once again. This review will be short, as ABSOLUTELY NOTHING HAPPENED. We are no closer to finding out who the total A is, who killed Allison, how many teenagers Aria’s Dad actually hooked up with, and why Spencer even thinks #Toby is cute. I’m going to need the writers at ABC Fam to kill some storylines, or kill some people off, and let’s move on. Too many lies inside of lies inside of secrets inside of hot tubs. Straight Inception crap.
The issue of BBQ: After extensive research, Kansas City BBQ is better. But let’s not compare apples and oranges, folks. It’s just different. It’s all about the sauce out there, which is cool. Here in SC, sauce is one of those “it’s on the table if you need it” type deals and it’s really all about how it’s cooked, which is also cool. Don’t assume I’ve been brainwashed or question my salvation. Just trust that I know good food.
Note about the Midwest (and anywhere other than the south): When you fire up the grill (say on July 4th for example) put some hamburgers and hotdogs on it, and go out on the lake….this is called a “Cook-out.” Others call it a “ Barbecue.” This isn't right. BBQ is a type of food you eat. A cook-out is an event (can also be a restaurant). The south will always be right on this.
