In June of 2003, I started dating Lance. It was baseball season which was great because we were both Angel fans. Football was not even spoken about until right before the football season was about to start. Lance pulls out this Troy Aikman plaque that his brother Ryan got him when they were younger. I said to him, you're just a Troy Aikman fan right. Please tell me you're not a Dallas fan. Please please please! No such luck. He's a huge Dallas fan. And I think he became an even bigger Dallas fan once he found out I was a Buffalo fan.
Pretty much every football season since, he has tormented me. He bought me a Buffalo Bills Drew Bledsoe jersey which I love. Then the very next season Buffalo traded him. To what team you may ask??? Dallas. Then Dallas sighed Terrell Owens. The lone cancer cell to every other team he has played on. I knew I would get redemption when T.O. infected Dallas like he did his other teams. He didn't really do the damage I expected him to do. Then before T.O. could go into his full blown attack on his team, Dallas released him. And who signed him for next season you may ask... my stinking Buffalo Bills. You know when Nancy Kerrigan got hit on the knee by the guy with the pipe during the Olympic trials? And she laid there moaning and crying WHY WHY WHY........ya, that's what I'm doing right now. WHY WHY WHY Buffalo must you bring this cancerous cell to our team??? And, you know what Lance is doing? Smiling from ear to ear. He is so excited to watch this guy ruin my struggling team.
I love the fact Lance and I don't have the same favorite football team, (even though I wished he liked anybody else other than Dallas!) it gives us some friendly competition around the house. Of course some smack talking too. None more than this last week, thanks to T.O. Maybe, T.O. will be good for us..... maybe, just maybe.
My jersey is way cooler than the lame star on his jersey! =)
Love,
Suzanne
