All is fair in Love & Sports...

As a sports fan, we fall in love.

(This is for REAL fans, NOT-- they won the Super Bowl, my boyfriend likes this team, or I hear this quarterback's name on SportsCenter all the time so I'm going to roll with that!)

Okay, he's a little insane... Not the point.

As “REAL” fans we fall in love. For better or for worst, we stick by our team. Their performance reflects our moods. We celebrate their accomplishments on the field as well as their personal lives.

Some even get tatted.

Sounds like a love affair to me...

Well Sunday, we saw "Revenge of the Scorned Lover" aka Panthers @ Ravens.

Steve Smith faced his previous team with nothing to prove but everything to rub in their face!

This is something like a public service announcement....

Hey Pats' fans..??? How bout that good ole’ Monday Night Football??

U love Brady right? He's brought you much happiness and sweet victories time and time again right?

It's only fair; you get this at some point....

You're welcome.

New York Fashion Week never disappoints.

As far as Basketball Wives go, Lala SLAYS!

Excuse me. I think a black gay guy just took over my body for about two seconds.

Then there was that seasoning opening loss to the Bengals!! 

 To sum things up, this is what happened...

A few days later Ray Rice' fate is rewritten. 

Good ole TMZ....Serving up the tea how ever you'd like it.

There it goes again. You know...the gay guy thing??

Anyway...

2 game suspension turns into

• He's released by the Ravens
• Suspended indefinetly by the NFL
• Dropped by Nike
• Pulled from MADDEN 15!

Needless to say Raven's Nation has been having a really rough week.

Then there was Thursday Night Football!!

I saw the light...

We're the same team that rises above adversity every time!

The odds were stacked against us. We loss Rice. The stadium is filled with Rice jerseys in support or people wondering why the hell he's being supported. Our toughest rival has come to attempt to leave us 0-2.

NO! We played like Ravens!

All may not be well in Birdland (Especially with Orioles' first baseman Davis being suspended for amphetamines) but that was a damn great start!

 

It's time...

The wait is over. Well almost over. Super freaking close!!

NFL Kickoff!!

Yes ladies and gents. The moment we've all been waiting for.

I've found myself trying to sit through an entire Baseball game day after day...

Which is the equivalent to the length of 2 Sunday services at a Baptist church!

Being way too concerned with Gabby and D.Wade as if I know them...

But they're officially Mr. and Mrs. Wade. Soo exciting.! Congrats.

Of course their guest-list included some of our fave sports-related couples.

 Looking amazing as usual. Women in all white, men in all black. Love the concept!

Fiba. Well with D.Rose the center of every Fiba mention, I'm not complaining.

But.... Football is back! These games mean something. All your team's preseason tweaks, makeovers, and scandal recovery is proven on the turf.

While you probably just envisioned your team being the epitome of greatness....

I came across these articles on Deadspin. "Why your team sucks". Oh check it out! I'm sure your team is there.

Mine was. SHOCKER!!

My purple blood boiled reading that nonsense. But- I'm even more fired up for us to prove ourselves on the field.

No I won't be suiting up or calling any plays Sunday but US!
