Is Love Really in the Air?

So it’s Valentine’s Day. And on this day, there is a lot of pressure on guys to deliver the goods for their loved one.

Whether it’s chocolate shaped hearts, a dozen roses or dancing telegrams, guys know they are measured by the size of their gift on this day and not the true love that exists in their hearts. And we all know where that true love really lies don’t we fellas?

That’s right. A man’s true love is with his team. Whether they win, lose or draw, he will support his team week in, week out, despite the results. His team could batter and bruise him on a weekly basis, but that true love runs deep for all men and nothing can come between them. Not even a woman.

If a woman treated her man the same way his team does, a wise geezer would dump her in a heartbeat. Unless he’s having the greatest sex of his life and then he really doesn’t care so much.

Men, women, Valentine’s Day and football. Sometimes it’s nothing but roses. Sometimes it’s nothing but thorns.

So, just remember. On this Valentine’s Day, get your priorities right and spread the love around a little.

  1. Valentine’s Day is the romantic equivalent of the ESPY’s. It happens every year, but is nothing but a shallow pageant of irrelevance to make insecure athletes/couples feel better about themselves.

    Anyway, I must be the Jude Law of sports guys because I love a whole bunch of teams. Here’s my all-sports dream team rankings:

    1) USC (college football)
    2) Phoenix Suns (NBA)
    3) San Diego Chargers (NFL)
    4) Los Angeles Lakers (NBA)
    5) Tottenham Hotspur (EPL)
    6) Anaheim Angels (MLB)
    7) Anaheim Ducks (NHL)
    8) New England Patriots* (NFL)
    9) UCLA (college basketball)
    10) Liverpool (EPL)

    * Only while Tom Brady is QB.

    Please don’t point out that the Chargers and Patriots, along with the Suns and Lakers, are division rivals. The heart wants what the heart wants.

  2. There will never be love in football just love of the game. The pitch is the battle field no time for love.

  3. Bananafish. Your last line should be a last line for a movie.
    Other than #5, this is a very interesting list. ESPN should do a segment on you. The Rival Sports Fan…

    Lady Yid. There is a time for love on the pitch even though it is a battlefield. When a player scores, especially in a huge game, love is all around!
