All Fantasy, No Football: Week 10
There's no football games this weekend! Hallelujah! Let's take this time to reconnect with you before the madness of Super Bowl begins next week. Let's get all kinds of self-indulgent. Treat yo'self! 1) Ban tailgaiting food this week. Seriously. I love nachos more than I love most things, but I need a week away. It's time to get it in on some greens! These Spicy Asian Shrimp Lettuce Cups? Amiright? 2) Hurricanes are okay though... Th... Read More
All Fantasy, No Football: Week 9
Two things: Football season is coming quickly to a close and Valentine's Day is around the corner. You have been putting in work watching these games...there better be one heck of a victory dance at the end of this. Let's get down to business, throw on some slow jams and prep the scene for some romance. 1) Chocolate is always a good place to start. Sneakily disguised as footballs, these brownies give that rich, indulgent treat that make ou... Read More
All Fantasy, No Football: Week 8
Beer me that remote! As promised last week, I made an effort to "enjoy" the games. You know what? I totally did! The Seattle vs. Washington game was a killer! Whoever that player was on the Redskins that was trying to get into a fight with someone on the Seahawks, I would like to give him my number. Holla atta lady! One thing that has become obvious is that beer and football are soul mates. They are the type of couple that eat dinner at a res... Read More
All Fantasy, No Football: Week 7
I'm going to be honest. I'm starting to have a little soft spot for football. It's like when you're a kid and your mom makes you repeatedly eat something you don't like. Eventually, you'll develop a taste for it. The athletic eye candy. The tension in the air. The party atmosphere. A reason to get together with friends. Trust me, I still have NO IDEA what's happening on the field, but at least I'm trying, right? This 3-year old gets it, fo... Read More
All Fantasy, No Football: Week 6
With New Year's Eve around the corner, I have two things: a lot of champagne and 2013 resolution. Football can help with both of these. 1) Get body inspired. These athletes have amazing bodies! Sure, I don't want arms the size of a building's support beam, but I would like to carry my groceries in the house without stopping nine times. And can I just get a "Hey boys!!!!!" on this. They should show more shirtless football games...in my opinion... Read More
All Fantasy, No Football: Week 5
Question: What do you give your favorite football illiterate for Christmas? Answer: Food, cocktails and sparkly things. 1) Let them see you Buffalo. One of the best things about any sport is that it somehow goes incredibly well with buffalo chicken. I can get all over some buffalo sauce and blue cheese. These lil' mamas come in cupcake form. They're pretty much the perfect food. 2) Spruce it up a little. If you are watching the game at... Read More
All Fantasy, No Football: Week 4
This week, let's just focus on holiday cheer, jelly shots and PWNing your friends in awesome-ness. Your mission, should you choose to accept it...is below. 1) Hide mistletoe all over the freaking place. TOUCHDOWN! If I'm watching football all day, SOMEONE is going to make out with me. That is the rule. 2) Everybody loves the friend who brings jelly shots. Be that friend. My favorite is this gummy... Read More
All Fantasy, No Football: Week 3
Alright, alright. Nobody likes a party pooper. If you're a sullen so-and-so, nobody will want to sit by you! These sneaky tips will make you look like your participating when you’re just trying to fill the time. High five! 1) Sneak booze into your tailgating spread. Sure. This ribbon salad might look like a hand-me-down from Aunt Carolyn, but, in the words of Britney Spears, it's not that innocent. Tablespoon's ribbon salad is spiked...e... Read More
All Fantasy, No Football: Week 2
Are you super stoked for the big game this weekend? Me neither. Channel your inner Icebox. We'll get through this together. 1) Don't be afraid of getting a little cheesy. I recently told a male friend that there were only two ways I would watch sports with him: 1) nachos, and 2) wine. I think that's fair. Nachos are basically my favorite food group. I once missed an entire third quarter of a basketball game, because I was so engrossed in... Read More
All Fantasy, No Football: Week 1
If I have to choose between sitting at home and watching a football game vs. doing literally anything else ... I will choose swimming with sharks, vacuuming or being punched in the face over watching two teams spar it out. If ya hear me on this, my All Fantasy, No Football weekly guide is for you. Maybe you're dating or married to someone who loves sports or maybe it's your friends.  Either way, you need a little help getting through the foo... Read More
