Revived from the Dead, Resuscitated, Defibrulated, Well… We’re Just Back, DAMNIT!

Did your miss our comedic stylings, our sporty incites, our perennial cuteness? We know we sure did! So that’s why we’re back. It’s not that we decided to stop writing the blog, we for some reason, just stopped updated it. We could never figure out why, although here are some educated guesses:

-Fenella and Andrea were hypnotized by those SONIC fast-food commercials.
-Fenella and Andrea got CRAZY busy at work.
-Fenella really wanted her breakfast at the IHOP.
-Andrea glued her hands together.
-Fenella went to strip dancing class (for EXERCISE, you sickos! But if you’re willing to pay the right amount, she MIGHT consider it)
-Andrea got stuck in the bathroom at the Caribou Coffee.
-Fenella and Andrea were too hurt from the pain of Queen James.
-Andrea started Graduate School for Interior Design. And no, she’s not re-designing your living space for free.
-Fenella was busy eating Pinkberry, the most crucialest froyo EVER.
-And the number 10 reason why we think we stopped updating the blog…we have no idea! But we’re sorry….We promise we won’t go away for so long again!

So we’re back, bringing some happiness into our ever-so-crazy lives through the world o’ sport. Seeing that we stopped writing in…January, here’s a quick wrap up of what’s happened since then:

The Super Bowl: In what was arguably the most boring Super Bowl in recent memory (or perhaps EVER), the Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Seattle Seahawks to earn the crown of best football team in North America. We think perhaps the highlight of the game was Tom Brady’s coin toss. Can anyone but him take wear a velvet suit and make tossing a coin so…sexy? We won’t let that take away from the awesomeness of the Steelers, the first sixth seeded team to win it all, and a double congrats to The Bus! Our ‘Skins made it all the way to the second round, but we forgot that although defense wins championships, offense wins games. And there was no offense to speak of. Something to work on in the off-season, Mr. Gibbs.

NCAA Playoffs: In also a rather boring final, UCLA got their asses whopped by the University of Florida Thugs (Haha! Fenella says.) It was an exciting tourney, though, with lots of surprises and upsets, including our very own GMU. Hollerrrr! It makes up for a very disappointing tourney for the usually strong ACC. Dry those eyes, JJ – you’ll be fine in the NBA. As long as you don't get another DUI, anyway.

2006 Baseball: It’s back again….and we barely noticed, save for that whole Barry Bonds thing. He’s been trying to beat this little legend named Babe Ruth’s home run record (and Hank Aaron too). As for the O’s and Nats, um, how are they doing?

NFL Draft: Hm. So what exactly were the Texans thinking not drafting Reggie Bush? Some would say, well…they need to build their defense and Mario Williams will be better for them in the long run. But still, we scratch our heads. Oh well. And poor Matt Leinart’s stock went down and was picked 10th, going to the Arizona Cardinals. Not a bad deal, we think, and we applaud the Cards for giving it to him straight about his Hollywood friends and partying ways (Paris Hilton? You could do SO much better.) We’re curious to see how these boys do come September!

NBA Playoffs: Probably the best playoffs in like, forever. So many overtime games, so many last minute game winners, so many one-point games. Of course, it would be far better if said overtime games, last minute game winners and one-point games didn’t come courtesy of Queen James and the Cavs against our Wizards! Boooo. Otherwise, almost every series made it to a Game 6 or 7, and were tightly fought. The Clippers showed everybody who was the now the better team in LA (Clipper Nation baby!) San Antonio lost their crown to the Mavs. Detroit got a run from their money from the Cavs. The Heat overcame their hump and made it the finals for the first time. And of course, we were entertained by post-game analysis by Charles Barkley (Drowned Alive is our favorite). We love this game.

Now, for what’s happening now:

-Unless you’ve been living in a hole (otherwise known was the USA), the World Cup commenced on Friday, June 9 in Germany. The real fun didn’t begin until Saturday, June 10 when England faced Paraguay in a first-round match-up. As Americans, we hope that the United States can meet or exceed their Quarterfinals showing in Japan/South Korea four years ago, but being placed in the second-toughest group in the tournament is not gonna make that road an easy one (especially after losing their first match to the Czech Republic). As for the “elite” teams, Germany should be favored to go far as the home team despite an injury to star Michael Ballack, and the Brazilians always look good, seeing that they always have a new crop of stars at the ready (as “fatty” Ronaldo looks a little…out of shape). As for England (that’s Fendizzle’s team), well, yet again that damned “curse of the metatarsal” hits them, this time putting Wayne Rooney on injured reserved. (Don’t know what a metatarsal is? Ask any English footy fan). Will he recover in time to help England? Will David Beckham lead his team to glory? Then there’s former powerhouse France – what will become of them as Zidane’s last hurrah and va-va-voom Thierry Henry?

Of course, the beauty of the World Cup is that anything can happen – and it usually does! We’ve got World Cup fever, baby…and believe us, there will be some serious compromises made between work and the beautiful game!

-The Miami Heat now the face the b****es of Mark Cuban, AKA the Dallas Mavericks for the NBA Championship. Will Shaq add to his legacy? Will the Mavericks disappoint their passionate owner? Will Alonzo Mourning get a new gall bladder and become the hero of the series? Well, we’d find out…but the World Cup is on!
