OK, so I’m a day late on this, but I HAVE A VERY GOOD REASON. I couldn’t write it until late in the day Sunday, so here I am on Monday morning, doing some Monday Morning Quarterback-ing.

If you know me, I am a big…no HUGE…football fan. I practically came out of the womb screaming “THE U!” For those of you who don’t know, that is the University of Miami. My mom, aunt, and uncle are alumnae from there. And my great-uncle taught there. And I grew up across the street from there.

So basically, I go ape-sh!t whenever college football season is upon us. And Saturday was the culmination of our season. We may not be bowl eligible, but we beat a HUGE RIVAL. We beat FSU! The #manofmystery and I watched it friends. We wore UM shirts – they wore FSU shirts and let’s just say, I couldn’t flaunt it too much in their own home, BUT WE WON!

Which leads me to Sunday’s game. My poor Fins. My poor, poor Fins. They have had a horrific season. They went into yesterday’s game 0-7. They too, played a division rival with the New York Jets, and the outlook was bleak. (I won’t go off as to why CBS never, EVER plays this game up here in Boston, especially when the Pats aren’t playing at that time. Happens every damn year and I curse CBS regularly, but that is not for this post. This may not even make sense as I see red every time they have the opportunity to play a division game, BUT DO NOT! And yet we have to watch an NFC game, which has no official bearing….yet.)

After the Fins came up big (21-7) right before the half, the Jets rallied a bit to make it 21-12. SHIT. SHIT. SHIT.

But guess what? THEY WON!! The FINS BEAT THE JETS!!!! That’s right, Brian Flores and FitzMagic are able to fly back home as winners. And that my friends, are the two reasons I am very thankful today.
