I'm reduced to talking about anything besides the NBA lockout.
First, quick kudos to the Green Bay Packers, who absolutely handled the Minnesota Vikings yesterday on Monday Night Football. The game was never in doubt, and Aaron Rodgers looked as good as he ever has.
Heading back to the Sunday games though, I continuously keep hearing stories about the Buffalo Bills game - not that Buffalo showed up and played against Dallas, or that the game was close in any way, shape, or form. No, the story is all about a football player-cheerleader romance. Since apparently the high school obsession with this combination is alive and well, I decided to weigh in.
The cynic in me wants to roll my eyes and do what most people on television and the media seem to be doing, and berate David Wilson for traipsing across the field to give his touchdown catch football to his girlfriend, Dallas Cowboys cheerleader Kellsi Reich. I could talk about the 44-7 pounding that Dallas gave them, and how this lowly touchdown and subsequent behavior was disrespectful to the Buffalo team, Dallas fans, and showed a lack of respect to the game. The bandwagon is rolling along nicely, and it would be a great time to hop on.
Surprisingly though, despite my brief eye roll, I find the whole thing pretty cool. Maybe it is the secret romantic in me, but I have to say that a gesture like that where a guy basically ignores the rest of the world to concentrate on the women that he cares about - awesome. I bet in that moment that no matter what was going on around them, no matter the score of the game, that both of those people had eyes only for each other, and that it is something that both will remember for the rest of their lives.
All of that said, it still doesn't match up the Boise State victory a few years back where the player proposed to the cheerleader. A ring is way better than a football!
