Football n all

Sad that Indy (Colts) lost the match and it hurts :(
One team that had an immaculate record the pre season went down to Steelers fighting.
The match which, everyone (including me) predicted Colts would win (as they had done in the preseason against steelers) was a bit shocking to see colts lose. More shocking was the way they lost. The game which was over for Indy long before the end of 4th quarter, turned into one of the closest game with the last 2 minute turnover. Man I wish Manning had made a touchdown then. Nobody to blame but the kicker who missed a sitter (not under this pressure though).
Colts have always been the team I have admired. Offence is what football is all about (I know purists would never agree), but its the long conversions that have always got me interested in football. Well it just goes to show one can never write off the defensive teams (Agree that Big Ben did actually throw some good passes). Indy has been a special team and to wait one more year is not a good feeling.
It takes a while to sink in such emotions. I think I attach myself too much to somethings these days.

With our cricket season far away (May) and no tennis too, the only other substitute was to drink :D. I have started to develop a taste to some exotic wines. Of course Margarita still being my fav drink. Spiced Rum with Grape juice is also great. Blue Jesus, as my roomie will call it for its his invention :D (try this one out).
I bought ice skates. This will be my physical activity for this winter. Since I knew roller skating, picking up ice skating hasn't been very tough. Need to polish the moves. Plan to be regular as there is a rink near by. Hope that the weather stays the way it has been the whole winter (Its been relatively a much warmer winter).

Lo Akku,
I'm kinda confused with this post. Lemme tell you what I got -

1. You watch football, but don't play it.
2. You play cricket and tennis, but you don't watch them (otherwise you'd have known about Australian open and Indo-pak series).
3. You needed a reason to drink!

Correct aa?

Akshay said...

prasad.. haven't tried that one mann.. still have a long way to go for cocktails..

Akshay said...

super.. ilvo not all correct..
1) I watch american football (american) but don't play (its too physical and needs a lot of people)
2)I play crick and tennis. I am following the aussie open and have subscribed for the indo-pak series via net. What I meant was I could not play them, thanks to the winter here.
3) No mannnnn.. No reason to drink. Its just something you cherish all the time!! Especially cocktails and wines :)
