Week 8: I'm Tebowing for the Cowboys to win tonight!

For the past couple of weeks, my life has revolved around one thing: the World Series.  I know this blog is only supposed to be about the NFL, but I have been watching more baseball than football lately.  It was a very exciting time until the big loss on Thursday night.

I made a special celebratory dinner that night and had plans to buy World Series gear after the win.  But even though the Rangers had more than one chance to crush the Cardinals, they just couldn't pull it off.  We knew before it started that St. Louis was going to win Game 7.  I barely watched it.

The second the Cards starting running on the field to celebrate, I turned the TV off and our house was silent.  My husband and I didn't even talk that much until Saturday evening.  Our hearts were broken, but they're slowly on the mend.

The Cardinals are having their celebration parade later today and some of the players attended the Rams game.  Chris Carpenter, the winning pitcher, was part of the coin toss and the crowd cheered like crazy when the players were announced.  I hope the Cardinals enjoy it because they won't be there next year.  It will be our third time in the World Series and you know what they say... the third time's the charm!

Tebowing

Tim Tebow is famous for more than being a talented football player.  Even in college, he was proud of his Christian faith and didn't shy away from his beliefs.  (Do you remember the controversial Super Bowl ad featuring Tebow and his mom promoting a pro-life organization?)  Now people seem to be embracing Tebow and his faith with a new web activity called "Tebowing."  It's the new thing after planking and owling.  To participate in Tebowing, you simply need to pose kneeled down in prayer even if everyone around you is doing something totally different.

Tebowing was inspired by Tim himself bowing down in prayer after last week's overtime win against Miami.  After the game, a Broncos fan and his friends posted a picture on Facebook copying Tebow and now there's a Website where you can participate.  Go to www.tebowing.com to view poses, post your own, or buy a T-shirt.

My favorite kind of news!  While doing a question-and-answer session at Cedar Hill High School this week, Tony Romo announced that his wife is pregnant!  A student from the school in the south Dallas area had asked if Romo had any kids and Tony first responded no.  The kids responded with a cheer but then Tony explained that Candice is expecting their first child.  The kids cheered again so I'm guessing they were excited about everything he said.  The local Fox news station in Dallas was present and zoomed in on Candice's mid-section but didn't detect a baby bump quite yet.  The two members of the Romo family annoyingly don't tweet, but hopefully I'll have more local news on this soon!
