We are big sports fans around here; from supporting our hometown baseball and football teams, to rooting for our favorite college basketball team the Blue Devils, we're always looking for new ways to support the teams we love. Since I know that we can't be the only sports fanatics of there, I thought I'd share with y'all a few unique and fun ways that you can support your favorite sports teams!
Sports Memorabilia and Accessories
True sports fans want to show off their loyalty with themed
merchandise, apparel and other items. On game day, spectators can wear
jerseys and T-shirts bearing the official logos of the teams that are
playing. There are replica jerseys that are available in the team's home
and away colors. Such apparel also has the names of the players on the
back. Official league logos might also be embroidered right onto the
front of the jerseys.
Fans are also encouraged to bring any themed products to support the home team. For example, a 3D foam logo sign can be waived around proudly as a display of support. Additionally, such an item may stir up some other fans to start cheering on the team that is playing in a home venue. Foam signs usually have colorful logos featuring a team's mascot. These items can be raised up high above a person's head in order to get as much attention as possible in a crowded stadium. Three dimensional foam signs also make excellent displays along windows in a home or office.
Banners are also used to support home teams during competitions. Some of these displays can be attached to a handle that is used to create a waving motion. From a distance, large banners may look like flags bearing a team's official logo.
Toys are also popular collectible items for sports fans. There are plush stuffed animals that have designs inspired by mascots of professional teams. Additionally, there are bubble heads that replicate professional players in a wacky and fun way. Mini sporting equipment also make popular decorative items at home or at the office. For example, there are tiny football helmets, baseball caps and hockey sticks that are licensed and themed with professional leagues.
Home and office supplies are available in unique sports themed designs. For example, a baseball helmet can be used for a design of a mug, cup or pencil holder. There is also a ton of decorative items that bear the logos and other representations of professional teams. Even computer accessories are now made specifically for sports fans. For example, logos can be placed on mouse pads, flash drives and even mice.
Last but not least, sports fans can also purchase professional size balls that are used in actual games. High quality upholstery makes up replica basketballs, footballs and baseballs that are used by professional throughout the regular seasons.

So, I know that I don’t rant much here, but I just couldn’t hold this one in any longer.
Now as a sports fan myself I understand the need that men have to watch football (every.single.Sunday, Monday, and sometimes Thursday nights during football season), and to attend football games, and to paint themselves their team colors and stand half naked in 30 degree weather for two and a half hours (well actually that last one I don’t really understand) BUT there is one aspect of football season that I will never understand—Fantasy Football!
I get the need that men feel to do everything better than other men,but I do not get the stupid ways that men choose to show that superiority. Take for instance Fantasy Football—my husband who under normal circumstances stays as far away from the computer as possible, becomes a maniac when football season comes, and then he is glued to the computer checking stats, making trades, and keeping track of his points like a mad man. And all for the chance to say…”I beat so and so in my league…I kick ass.”
The following is a conversation that took place between my husband Jamie and I yesterday…enjoy!
Me: (answering the phone) Hello?
Jamie: Hey babe..what ya doing?
Me: I’m about to kill a few of our kids—no worries not the ones we like (totally a joke people..calm down). What’s up?
Jamie: You’re funny! Anyway I just wanted to tell you that I’ll be getting home late on the 26th.
Me: (confused) Um…OK? Do you have to work late?
Jamie: No.
Me: Do you have a date with your mistress? Because if you do then I need to call the UPS guy and let him know I’m free that night.
Jamie: Real funny babe. No I have to stay late because I got in a league at work.
Me: When did you take up bowling?
Jamie: (annoyed…and I loved it) No babe a Fantasy Football league.
Me: Ahhh I see! Who’s in this league and why do you have to stay late?
Jamie: A couple of the guys at work. We’re doing our draft that night.
Me: (That scene in Knocked Up with Paul Rudd totally flashed in my mind right about then). Um you mean a bunch of grown men are going to sit around and trade NFL players complete with a white board, stat sheets, and dry erase markers? You’re joking—right?
Jamie: Well hell yeah we are.
Me: Alright babe whatever you say.
Jamie: And hey babe—when you go to Wal Mart can you pick me up a Draft Book?
Me: (LMAO for real!) Sure babe.
Alright ladies (and gentlemen I welcome your comments too) what do y’all think about Fantasy Football? I mean come on we (women) do not sit around and have draft parties for the Miss America Pageant. Could you imagine what that would be like? “OMG Becky I am totally NOT picking Miss. California, her ass is like WAY big in that dress!” Seriously how funny would that be?
So I want to hear what y’all have to say about this! Do you think Fantasy Football kicks ass or do you think men who participate really need to have their asses kicked for behaving like children? Let me have it!
