Super Bowl XLV

Hey Everyone!
Welcome to my blog where you get a little glimpse into what a girl like me thinks about sports.

So this weekend is Super Bowl XLV. It is between Green Bay Packers and the Pittsburgh Steelers. I am not a big fan of either team but if I had to choose who I would hope wins, I would go with the Packers. Personally I have never been able to choose a professional team for football to follow so I have just always gone with who my dad follows. I like watching football and sports in general just cause its a time for my dad and I to bond and it gives me something to talk about with my guy friends. This weekend is going to be an interesting one to see who wins but I prefer the underdogs and the ones who don't go very often to the Super Bowl. I find it interesting the Dallas didn't fight harder to be in the Super Bowl since their town was hosting it but I recently found out that only one team in history has ever had home field advantage in the Super Bowl. Do you know who it is? But I occasionally make things for my dad to take to work and in support of the Super Bowl, I made a cake for him to take to work (see picture below).  I may not like the teams in the Super Bowl but I like to bake and this gave me a reason to make a cake, and a reason to start my blog.

In other sports stuff, I absolutely love Baseball and always have. I think thats when this blog will really take off for me is when its Baseball season. Especially if my team the Anaheim Angels (I hate that they are called LA) does well we will have things to talk about, although because of all the off season trades I am considering adding a new team to the list of favorites. But still I can't wait for opening day of baseball season and for life to be good again. Hockey is another favorite sport of mine and the Anaheim ducks are in second place in their division with a chance to go to the playoffs!! The play tomorrow against the Sharks and hopefully they can win and up their standings just a little. So I know this may sound horrible but I tolerate Basketball and because of where I live I choose the LA Lakers as my team (if I have to choose). The Lakers as always are doing well in there division and are currently in first place, although they have lost their last two games which if this streak continues could end up hurting them. In other related Basketball news, March Madness is just over a month away now and since football is over for college I guess I'll mention the NCAA through Basketball.... I am gonna have to say that I most likely will not be paying very much attention to it but I hope that the California teams do well and go far in the tournament. Okay so thats all I can think of to talk about in my first blog here. I don't want to have nothing to talk about next time. Anyways, till then have fun watching sports and cheering on your favorite teams.
