ADVISORY
Sorry for the lack of blogging today, but I am with the press hordes at Super Bowl Media Day. I can report that there are large individuals on both teams, and everybody is focused on winning the big game, which will take place this weekend, most likely Sunday. This has been your Super Bowl update.
There's a football game this Sunday???

Your lady bloggers would like to meet some of those large individuals....Take notes..
Posted by: mm | January 30, 2007 at 01:01 PM
They have a whole day where the media gets to play in the Super Bowl? I guess this isn't televised because they're all, well, playing the game.
Posted by: Clean Hands | January 30, 2007 at 01:02 PM
mm - Don't you mean get their phone number?
First dibs on Peyton!
Posted by: Meditrina | January 30, 2007 at 01:03 PM
What is this game you speak of? Where will it be played? Will there be beer involved? Will Tom Tancredo suffer a "costume malfunction" during half time???
Posted by: Siouxie | January 30, 2007 at 01:03 PM
Ewww, Sioux. Man boobs. Italian politician man boobs. Wait, that's redundant.
I think I just threw up in my mouth.
Posted by: Meditrina | January 30, 2007 at 01:05 PM
Dave, can you take some crapcam photos in the locker room for us gals???
Large men in towels or lack there of....we're not picky.
Posted by: Siouxie | January 30, 2007 at 01:07 PM
So, pictures of large towels without men would be okay, Siouxie??

Let us know if you hear anything other than:
...play ball-control offense.
...establish the running game.
...stop the big play.
...dominate the line of scrimmage.
...pound it out on the ground.
...air it out more.
...open up the passing lanes.
...take care of the football.
...just go out and execute.
...make plays on both sides of the ball.
...go out there and play smash-mouth football.
...just play Colts/Bears football.
...stick to the game plan.
Posted by: Olo Baggins of Bywater | January 30, 2007 at 01:08 PM
make sure they give 110%, Dave!
Posted by: insomniac | January 30, 2007 at 01:09 PM
um...no, jon.
Men + towels = GOOD
Men - towels = BETTER
Towels - men = not so much
Posted by: Siouxie | January 30, 2007 at 01:09 PM
Thanks, Olo. That sums it up. So, Dave is just there for the
photo oppgirls and beer. Guys!Posted by: Meditrina | January 30, 2007 at 01:10 PM

Please take my 1:05 and move it to the other thread.
I am dizzy in my glee to be away from the 24 thread. I don't want to spoil the surprise.
Posted by: Meditrina | January 30, 2007 at 01:13 PM
Dave, please ask Mrs. Blog to take the locker room pictures - somehow I think hers might be better.
Also if someone can figure out what program you need to access video at this site, we might be able to see Dave live at Media Day.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | January 30, 2007 at 01:15 PM
maybe woe should get in touch with Mrs.Dave. She'll understand.
And Siouxie's right: towels-men=laundry
Posted by: mm | January 30, 2007 at 01:15 PM
So lets get this straight from a South African perspective, the game is being played in Miami right. That means the home will be the Miami Dolphins. The other city that's bitching about the game being in Miami is Denver, so that means the other team is the Denver Broncos. The only problem is that somebody mentioned Peyton Manning, and everyone knows he's the QB for the Indianapolis Colts. I'm getting confused.
Posted by: Mot the Hoople | January 30, 2007 at 01:15 PM
I'm not into the Super Bowl that much, except for the commercials. But I would love to be there in person. Especially if there are any wardrobe malfunctions being planned. Although I hear the main entertainment this year is Prince, who is not necessarily known for being a woman.
Posted by: Schadeboy | January 30, 2007 at 01:16 PM
Med, it's in the right thread, no??
YES, Michelle should take them. She is, afterall, a reputable sports journalist. (and a woman with good taste!)
Posted by: Siouxie | January 30, 2007 at 01:17 PM
Man, Schade, I gotta disagree. You just know that if they had another wardrobe malfunction, it would be Britney or Paris. Bleerch.
Posted by: Clean Hands | January 30, 2007 at 01:19 PM
Mot - Super Bowl site selection is done years in advance, independently of the teams that make it to the contest in a given year. So the host site may or may not have its own team in there.
FYI, the Chicago Bears are playing the Indianapolis Colts.
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | January 30, 2007 at 01:20 PM
Mot - Get out of the sun. Drink fluids. :)
Posted by: Meditrina | January 30, 2007 at 01:20 PM
Must... refrain... from..... more.. bad.... sexist... puns...!
Posted by: jon | January 30, 2007 at 01:21 PM
"Although I hear the main entertainment this year is Prince, who is not necessarily known for being a woman."
(contemplates going there....)
nah, too easy.
Posted by: mudstuffin | January 30, 2007 at 01:22 PM
Annie, I'm watching a live feed on Real Player.
Posted by: Siouxie | January 30, 2007 at 01:22 PM
Me, too. (RealPlayer)
Posted by: sthnbelle | January 30, 2007 at 01:24 PM
OK guys, I had you going there, although I'm not an expert and there're some things I don't understand, I do follow the NFL and, I hate to admit it, my team is the Broncos who couldn't even get to the post season this time around because Mike Shanahan decided to change QB's halfway through the season. Jay Cutler only really started to throw a good game towards the end of the season.
Posted by: Mot the Hoople | January 30, 2007 at 01:30 PM
whewwww, Mot! I was worried there for a min.
Posted by: Siouxie | January 30, 2007 at 01:32 PM
Rats - I have Real Player on my other pc.
If Lovie Smith has a wardrobe malfunction, I'm outta here.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | January 30, 2007 at 01:35 PM
Mot, you big tease! I thought we girls had the corner on that market.
*looks around to see where I dropped my towel*
Posted by: Meditrina | January 30, 2007 at 01:36 PM
I love football, from the opening tipoff to the 9th inning. Great game.
Posted by: Hammond Rye | January 30, 2007 at 01:38 PM
Imagine if it was Lovie Dungy and a very ordinary sounding Tony Smith.
Posted by: Mot the Hoople | January 30, 2007 at 01:40 PM
Looks like it's over anyway, Annie.
No Dave sightings. :(
Posted by: sthnbelle | January 30, 2007 at 01:41 PM
What's not to love?? Large men with tight butts running around trying to get some skin. And with names like "tight-end" and "wide-receiver" and "long snapper"...be still my heart!
Posted by: Siouxie | January 30, 2007 at 01:43 PM
My homepage tells me I should liven up my superbowl party with lassos. I think that is a grand idea. Whadda y'all think?
Posted by: casey | January 30, 2007 at 01:46 PM
Now if you girls are feeling deprived I'm sure the guys on the blog would be willing to do the dance of the 7
veilstowels.Posted by: Mot the Hoople | January 30, 2007 at 01:46 PM
We're gonna need a bigger towel.
Posted by: Hammond Rye | January 30, 2007 at 01:48 PM
casey - sounds good. If you decide to include spurs also, can I get an invite?
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | January 30, 2007 at 01:48 PM
*sits back to watch the dancing*
Let the towels fall where they may, boys!!!!
Posted by: Siouxie | January 30, 2007 at 01:49 PM
Mot - after the unfortunate incident at the Motel 6(next thread), we can't encourage that kind of behavior.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | January 30, 2007 at 01:50 PM
awww Annie!! we can't???
*dangit*
Posted by: Siouxie | January 30, 2007 at 01:52 PM
Siouxie - shhh - I'm using reverse psychology.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | January 30, 2007 at 01:53 PM
Annie the Motel 6 towels are vertically challenged, but seeing that they've all been ripped off anyway, we'd need to visit Bed, Bath 'n Beyond where they have a special on those really big fluffy ones.
Posted by: Mot the Hoople | January 30, 2007 at 01:54 PM
ohhhhh...gotcha, Annie
um...carry on then.
Posted by: Siouxie | January 30, 2007 at 01:55 PM
Wow, guys -this was all over the Colorado papers! WTG, Dave. I never knew I could blow an entire chocolate long john through my nose before!
Cindy NJ
And yeah, it's been too long since I checked into the blog.
Posted by: Cindy NJ | January 30, 2007 at 01:59 PM
Mot - I recommend we get bath towels and bath sheets. Bigger is better, baby!
Posted by: Meditrina | January 30, 2007 at 02:00 PM
Dave, did you remind Peyton that he is playing against a GATOR quarterback this year? This IS the Gators year - so the Bears have this one in the bag. Poor Peyton - the Gators were always his nightmare in college - some things never change. I bet he dreams about Orange & Blue at night :)
Posted by: Val | January 30, 2007 at 02:01 PM
Med, I was gonna give the blog boys a hand towel *EG&trade'*
Posted by: Siouxie | January 30, 2007 at 02:02 PM
Med, I didn't want to boast. Some of the other guys were also a little worried about overexposure
Posted by: Mot the Hoople | January 30, 2007 at 02:03 PM
For some reason, the term Yogurty Tancredos is now running through my brain. That WBAGNFA Tejano band.
Posted by: Hammond Rye | January 30, 2007 at 02:04 PM
Mot - 'fluffy' can only do so much.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | January 30, 2007 at 02:06 PM
DAVE - if you see my friend, Bill Plaschke (LA Times), please say 'hi'. Mrs. Blog knows who he is. He's tall, bald, and quite good-looking.
Carry on, folks - nothing to see here.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | January 30, 2007 at 02:09 PM
I guess they dont have a "genius day" for the super bowl.....I keep forgetting Dave is part of the media..
Posted by: Chaz | January 30, 2007 at 02:15 PM
He gets to interview football players. He's going to have a 'field' day. Literally.
Dave - make a note to hire bodyguards that are NOT ex football players.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | January 30, 2007 at 02:17 PM
Sorry to all my family in Chicago but...
GO COLTS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by: Addicted to 24 | January 30, 2007 at 02:19 PM
*comes in with stack of very small towels for the blog boys, lays them by the bar*
Come and get 'em, guys! There's beer, too!
Posted by: Suzy Q | January 30, 2007 at 02:28 PM
Why, Dread, your invite is in the mail ;).
Posted by: casey | January 30, 2007 at 02:30 PM
Beer?
*Enthusiasm returns*
Posted by: Hammond Rye | January 30, 2007 at 02:30 PM
hand towels...my thoughts exactly, Suzy.
*thinks the boys are shy all of the sudden*
Posted by: Siouxie | January 30, 2007 at 02:31 PM
Yeah, Siouxie. What's up with that? They were all for your blue thong.
Posted by: Suzy Q | January 30, 2007 at 02:33 PM
Yo, Ato24, better start practicing this one, cuz the Colts don't have one. Neener etc.
Posted by: random thunking | January 30, 2007 at 02:34 PM
Dave,
Do they let you ask questions? That would be a blast.
"Rex! How many somersaults can you do before you throw up?"
"Peyton! Considering Urlacher's speed, do you think Chili-Cheese is the all-time best Frito flavor?"
Posted by: Christobol | January 30, 2007 at 02:35 PM
Total double standard here, Suzy.
Posted by: Siouxie | January 30, 2007 at 02:36 PM
I am perfectly willing to wear a handtowel loin cloth.
Just not here at work.
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | January 30, 2007 at 02:43 PM
Loincloth?
Oh...
*takes handtowel from head*
Posted by: Hammond Rye | January 30, 2007 at 02:46 PM
I've tried wearing it on my head, but it kept slipping down over my eyes. So now I wear it on my head.
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | January 30, 2007 at 02:47 PM
"Yeah, Siouxie. What's up with that? "
Can someone please SNORK that? I'm in a meeting.
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | January 30, 2007 at 02:50 PM
now THAT'S more like it!!!
*passes popcorn around to the gals*
Posted by: Siouxie | January 30, 2007 at 02:50 PM
One of the channels on our TV has just followed an episode of CSI Miami with a re-run of Nip Tuck. I don't know if they're trying to tell us something with this Miami overdose, but it does remind me of why I think the people of Miami are weird.
Posted by: Mot the Hoople | January 30, 2007 at 02:52 PM
*ahem*
*glares at Mot*
Posted by: Siouxie | January 30, 2007 at 02:53 PM
Mot, has anyone explained "hot wax" to you?
Posted by: Hammond Rye | January 30, 2007 at 02:56 PM
Weird in a nice way Sooz.
Posted by: Mot the Hoople | January 30, 2007 at 02:58 PM
Loud snorks for Hammie and Dread!
Posted by: casey | January 30, 2007 at 03:00 PM
uh huh
Posted by: Siouxie | January 30, 2007 at 03:02 PM
Siouxie - you are the exception that proves the rule.
(Lindsay "Appendix in the freezer" Ho-han is in the middle of that group. Eww.)
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | January 30, 2007 at 03:04 PM
Press whores? You mean Paris and Britney? Oooh press hordes.
Annie I know who Bill Plaschke is he's on that show Around the Horn sometimes.
Posted by: Art Vandelay | January 30, 2007 at 03:04 PM
Mot, you lucked out...had to use all my hot wax on Hammie's furry enthusiasm this morning...but I'll get more ;-)
Posted by: Siouxie | January 30, 2007 at 03:05 PM
Loincloths 'n turbans, mmmmmm, soon we'll be discussing the temples of a thousand delights. Ah! the smell of camel dung on the desert air can still get the hormones a jigglin'.
Posted by: Mot the Hoople | January 30, 2007 at 03:07 PM
Chris, we're just such a lively bunch down here! Unfortunately, skank hoes like Twatney, LiLo & Paris partying down here all the time dont do much to help our 'image'.
Posted by: Siouxie | January 30, 2007 at 03:09 PM
*borrows an extra apostrophe from Darren*
don't
Posted by: Siouxie | January 30, 2007 at 03:11 PM
Perhaps the guys might like a nice mojito to go with those towles?
Good popcorn.
Posted by: ScooterRocky | January 30, 2007 at 03:15 PM
I guess it's time to throw in the towel.
Posted by: Mot the Hoople | January 30, 2007 at 03:18 PM
*think the blog gals fainted*
Posted by: Siouxie | January 30, 2007 at 03:46 PM
From fright or delight?
Posted by: Mot the Hoople | January 30, 2007 at 03:50 PM
perhaps a little of both???
Posted by: Siouxie | January 30, 2007 at 03:52 PM
Mot- re the loincloths and turbans - see this
Posted by: mm | January 30, 2007 at 03:59 PM
"And one! and two! and Jazz Hands! Jazz Hands!"
"Now into the chorus line and Kick! and Kick!"
"Now offstage, stage left! Keep smiling!"
"Thank you, Ladies! We'll be here all week!"
Posted by: Hammond Rye | January 30, 2007 at 04:02 PM
I pick delight! ;)
Posted by: Cookie | January 30, 2007 at 04:02 PM
um...Hammie...you dropped your hand towel...here...here's a towlette. *eg*
*peeks*
Posted by: Siouxie | January 30, 2007 at 04:04 PM
I'm off to bed, nite all
Posted by: Mot the Hoople | January 30, 2007 at 04:07 PM
Nite nite, Mot!
don't forget your towel!!!
Posted by: Siouxie | January 30, 2007 at 04:08 PM
On that note...I'm off! Thanks all for the laffs and thanks boys for the...um...show.
*tosses a handful of dollar bills @ the blog dudes*
laters!

*heads out with her*
See y'all... later.

I didn't even know the Bears had a fight song. "Bear down" - the last time I heard that was in labor & delivery.
