My Non-Political Happy Post of the Week
Submitted by Steven D on Tue, 06/14/2016 - 5:55pm
It may not make fans in Cleveland happy, but it sure helped me remember the best day I had all year, February 7, 2016, when the Denver Broncos, my team since I was ten years old, upset the Carolina Panthers and won Super Bowl 50. The team received their championship rings the other night and here is what it looks like:
Video highlights of the game:

Well, that was sure nice to see. Back to saving the world tomorrow.
Cheers,
Steve

I'm jealous. I'm Detroit Lions fan since the age of 7 (1964).

My wife was about to put a Lions shirt on our new baby, but I reminded her it was a choking hazard.
I took my broken vacuum cleaner back to the store. They painted it silver and blue and put a Detroit Lions sticker on it. Now it sucks better than ever.
Why did the Detroit Lions fan cross the road...I was thinking when I accelerated.

I LOLed at the goalposts one. TY!
And I don't care about football and am suspicious of all Sports Fans.

I like the "World Champions" part.

Both sports are great :)
Can't go wrong rooting for the Black and Gold in any sport (Note: Bruins are excluded from this list as they stole Pittsburgh colors)
When I was a kid, Republicans used to red scare people, now it's the Democrats. I am getting too damn old for this crap!
Ha! I converted my Bostonian husband
to all things "Left Coast"
I'm eveeel like that or so the inlaws think.
Just never broke him of his wicked pissah accent. ( happen to find accents sexy) LOL
Grats to the Guins! Didya know Mr. Rogers was a hockey fan??
"Love One Another" ~ George Harrison
Getting him to leave Boston sports behind
is a huge favor to all sports fans everywhere outside of Boston! (especially for dumping the Patriots!)
Mr Rodgers was big in Pittsburgh (I grew up in PA, wish I was back in the 'Burgh)
When I was a kid, Republicans used to red scare people, now it's the Democrats. I am getting too damn old for this crap!
Hell, it was the least I could do since
he was the one who introduced me to hockey.
Mr. Rogers was an amazing human being. Most hockey peeps are.

It's a Detroit thing, but we share the misery.
Peace.
I don't think it is a Detroit thing as much as a hockey thing.
Hockey is the least popular sport, but it is my favorite. When you look at pictures of hockey teams before helmets, pads and face masks, all you see are scars and no teeth.

I have canadian friends whose son played on a city team,
never made it to the majors. He has several nice replacement teeth. His parents used broken sticks as tomato poles. Very Canadiana.

Thanks, feeling is mutual...
That's a great tribute to Mr. Hockey.
All three of my grandsons played hockey.
15 was home from MSU, so they taped Adams to his back and let him play. It was the first time they all played on the same team.

Namaste
That Howe Thunder cartoon has me shedding a couple tears. Bless you, Damnit.

Basketball, kids. College basketball. I support the Cats.
Of course I do.
Rowr!

Do your cats watch basketball? We have a cat that watches hockey. Has since she was a little puff.
"Love One Another" ~ George Harrison
Oh yes, they adore it. Both my current pooties will watch
anything that moves on the screen with intense fascination. You can see Ginger above, that shot was by the computer camera. This one is of Oreo taken by the computer. He sometimes puts his nose right on the screen to follow along.

Have you ever tried those "Cat TV" videos?
My one cat got so excited she kept running behind the TV to find the critters. I actually started feeling bad that she could never find and catch them.
I haven't, but I bet they would love them. They should ask
their grandparents for videos for Christmas. Neither of them can have regular cat treats, we don't do toys made in China, and Grandma especially gets so frustrated that she can't buy them anything. Great idea!

My pup will watch some of the cat vids on the screen
She likes the fish ones best.

In the long run, Steven, it's the smile on your face
that's important, not what put it there. Congrats to your team. Yea! for you!
OB disclaimer: I've never liked any sports, never played on any teams. Baseball as a kid lasted about a week, until I caught a hardball with my forehead. (Looked like I had half a soda can buried just under my skin. LOL.) I've been to 1 football game, 1 hockey game, and 0 baseball or basketball games in my entire life.
I did like the Boy Scouts because there wasn't any competition involved.
Go Team!

Yup. I was rooting for the Broncos. They needed some
healing after that beating my Hawks put on them a couple years ago.

Thanks from the bottom of my heart. And I don't even like footba
I am so weary of sadness and anger and stupidity that I broke out in a joyous smile just to hear that there is non-political happy news. Congrats to your team and to you. And thanks again for my smile.
