if you don’t know and say anything you can sound stupid

the big game is coming on sunday and while superbowl sunday rates highest overall for single days of the year when it comes to: wine and beer consumption, pizza and wing consumption, and domestic battery (i’m not kidding, it’s a real stat) i have some simple advice.  while watching the today show this morning there was this woman giving some “advice for the gals out there”.  there were some gems in there like:

okay gals, the colts are in blue and white and the saints are in black and gold.

the quarterbacks are drew brees, he’s cute, and peyton manning

you want to be able to join in the conversation with the guys so here’s some great tips on what to say to talk-the-talk

say something like “they need to run a play action pass right now”

or “we could really use a blitz”

first off: she is making all women look bad, even when you likely don’t and probably play along well enough.  let me put it to you this way: you should just nod politely instead of following her advice.  here’s why: invariably, although you might mean well, you might say as the colts are on offense and your husband is rooting for the colts, that they really need a blitz.  ding: wrong answer.  cue more beer.

don’t sound stupid.  i’m not saying to just sit there and shut up, just choose your words wisely.  you don’t want us telling you that you look fat in that outfit right?  we just say nothing.  please do everyone the same courtesy.

well cock pants brought it to my attention and it’s about time to remedy that.  i’m back.
