There has also been some discussion as to whether this jersey is cursed, because Cupcake wore it like twice on Sundays, and it did not end well for Pittsburgh. For that, though, I blame my husband. Because, why not? He doesn't even read my blog, so he has no opportunity to defend himself. Haha, sucker. In any event, I decided to go with the officially licensed NFL gear and the piggies, because OMG have you seen her? So CUTE!
It's a slow day at work today, plus it's a Friday, so I thought I'd finish out this post with a Totally Useless But Hopefully Fun Sports Quiz for you. Can you name professional sports teams that fit into the categories below? (No, college teams do not count.) Good luck!

ReplyDeleteI was focused so hard on the quiz that I forgot to comment on CUPCAKE! Love the Steeler Jersey. Glad it still fits. She will need the Terrible Toddler Towel for the game. We had a pep rally for the Stillers yesterday. I don't think Shae will jinx them.
ReplyDeleteAnd Jaime, I wasn't even THINKING about soccer teams. I just used the traditional sports. And I wasn't sure if the St. Louis Blues were still playing.
1-Red Wings,Red Sox
ReplyDelete2- Blue Jays, St Louis Blues
3- BlackHawks, WhiteSox
4- Dallas Stars, Phoenix Suns
5- Avalanche, Earthquakes(thanks Jaime)
6- Oklahoma Thunder, Tampa Bay lightening!
7- 49ers, 76ers
8- Patriots, Oilers
9- Panthers, Jaguars
10- Eagles, Cardinals
11- DevilRays, Marlins
12- White Sox, Red Sox, Utah Jazz
PS... I love this pic!
OK - quick scoring and then I'll post my answers - obviously there were multiple answers to some of the questions:
ReplyDeleteJaime = Every one right but #2 and #6 - half credit for both. Fire and flames weren't EXACTLY what I had in mind - by "meteorological" I was thinking weather. Her score 24/25.
Shelley = All right! 25/25. Nice work!
The answers I came up with originally for these questions:
1) Red Wings, Red Bull (MLS team)
2) Blue Jays, Blue Jackets
3) White Sox, Blackhawks
4) Suns, Stars
5) Rockies, Lakers
6) Heat, Hurricanes
7) 49ers, 76ers
8) Cowboys, Kings (2nd choice = Pirates)
9) Panthers, Janguars
10) Orioles, Eagles
11) Dolphins, Marlins
12) Jazz, Avalanche, Red Sox
Thanks for playing! I think I want to do this every week and I am already working on something special for the Super Bowl next weekend.
and from the piggies, it looks like her hair is getting long. who did the piggies? you?
ReplyDeleteand i'm up for the challenge. i would've had answers for all the questions, but i tried not to repeat anything from tina's answers ;-)
and yes, the blues are still playing hockey in st. louis. i can't believe i didn't think of the blue jays! 1993 world series, anyone?
just for fun, i looked up the wnba ...
