Play of the Week: A "Hairy" Tackle

I thought it was a girl-thing to pull hair…

In case you were wondering - that was a totally legit tackle; the hair is considered part of the uniform and can be legally (NFL laws) grabbed if it is sticking out from under the helmet.  Torrey Smith says he considered cutting off his dreads after the play, but decided against it because his grandma likes them.  Atta boy Torrey!  We like the dreads too.  And way to hold on to that football, if someone grabbed my hair like that I would have turned around and slapped them in the face, er, helmet.

Ladies NFL Apparel

Guess what ladies – the NFL has officially acknowledged that we are an important part of the fan base for our favyy teams.  And thank goodness for that!  It’s tough having to wear men’s clothing every Sunday!  The NFL now supports female fans by selling women’s apparel.  While there has always been a women’s section for apparel on the websites, there hasn’t always been a very good selection.  But things have changed for the better!  All I have to say is thank you, THANK YOU, for finally making a jersey I can wear that does not look like a muumuu!

In honor of the NFL women’s line, and in honor of the women who have been wearing men’s jerseys all along, here are a few places where women can find some awesome football gear:

Play of the Week: Sideline Non-Proposal...

Romance is not dead!  Dallas Cowboys cheerleader Kelsy Reich had a big decision to make this past week, when her boyfriends team, the Buffalo Bills, were playing her team.  Was she supposed to cheer for her boyfriend, WR David Nelson, when he scored a touchdown?  Nelson made this decision a little easier when he sprinted over to her after scoring to give her a hug and the ball.  

Considering this costly move (she could have lost her job!), I want to know where’s the ring?!
