The Science Of Football

November 8, 2010

Tomorrow is the final day of the Science Bloggers for Students fundraising challenge at Donors Choose.

Please, VatulBlog readers, let’s be responsible for the [...]

Brett, I Mean, LeBron

July 9, 2010

The loss of LeBron James to the Miami Heat will hit cash-strapped Cleveland in the wallet, no doubt about it. But, it will hurt Akron, where James is from and more than a star attraction, the most. It’s a pretty tight-knit Catholic-school sports community up there and they’re losing their hometown kid who stayed. Each [...]

On The New NFL Overtime Rules

March 25, 2010

They stink. They truly stink. What really pisses me off about the new rules is that every time a network talks about them, they show Brett Favre Losing To The Saints footage the entire time. What is the viewer supposed to take away from that? The thinly-veiled assumption that changing the rules is justified because [...]

Mardi Gras Day 2010

February 19, 2010

Here we are, in our full costumed regalia. D wanted to walk in comfort and warmth while ripping on the NFL and I was going for a Saint / winged-football-goddess sort of look.  Not many notice that the mask represents a football field with yard lines.  Yes, I am a dork. It doesn’t look too [...]

Elated And Bummed

February 9, 2010

Still rolling around in indescribable joy because (the promised mask is done and) WOOOOOHOOOOO THE SAINTS WON THE SUPERBOWL!  This win signifies so much more than the city team’s prowess at football.  It’s about hope, possibility, renewal and an invitation to everyone who wrote off New Orleans to kiss its muddy behind.  Pistolette writes: It [...]

Holy Mother Of God, The New Orleans Saints Won The Superbowl!

February 7, 2010

Sat up in bed early this morning, a Sunday morning, knowing this would happen. Changed into my Ashley shirt at halftime.  I knew they’d win, but didn’t know how or by how many points.  Three good dead-on Hartley field goals.  Then, the Tracy Porter interception and runback.  I have never been more certain of victory. [...]

National Football Conference Champions: New Orleans Saints

January 25, 2010

The New York Times | N.F.C. Championship Final: Saints 31, Vikings 28 (Overtime) This win is for you, Professor Morris. Each time the Saints faltered, I touched the big fleur de lis on my shirt and said, “Come on, Ashley, give them a nudge.”  You came through.  You are our twelfth saint.  As an offering, [...]

Apres Arizona, Avant New Orleans

January 11, 2010

Yes, the Packers loss to the Cardinals yesterday sucked and I haven’t really slept or eaten since. I am sorely disappointed in the so-called #1 Rush Defense in the NFL who missed the fraking plane to Arizona and Dom Capers who was evidently off holding up a bar somewhere. But, I forgive Nick Barnett because [...]
