Happy Anniversary Lambeau Leap

Remember when Paris Hilton and crew accidentally leaked her sex tape back in ‘04 and all of a sudden she became famous? It paved the way for people like Dustin Diamond, Kim Kardashian and even Laurence Fishburne’s daughter to leak their very own junior varsity level sex tapes and caught on like white trash wildfire on the Jersey Shore. Well, that’s kind of what happened with the Lambeau Leap. Kind of.

Today Packers fans, let me be the first to wish you Happy Anniversary on your beloved illustrious celebratory spring into the end zone. Eighteen years ago, on the third coldest day at Lambeau (only behind the 1967 duly named Ice Bowl and the 2007 NFC championship against the Giants), the inaugural Lambeau Leap took shape from none other than safety, LeRoy Butler.

“Because I had pointed, the fans knew what they had to do. I go up into the green padding … and when I’m halfway up, a guy starts pulling me up the rest of the way. Everyone right behind him grabs on. Everyone is screaming and yelling. Some are complimenting me with ‘Awesome’ or ‘Good job.’ It only lasts 2 or 3 seconds, and I’m back down. It’s an incredible feeling as I run back to the bench. Dorsey Levens and a lot of other teammates keep telling me how cool that moment was. It took off from there. Ever since, every time we make a big play, there’s the Lambeau Leap,” Butler explained in his autobiography, From Wheelchair to the Lambeau Leap. This perfectly timed jump, which has since been coined “the baptism of touchdown scoring Packers,” was their way to celebrate clinching the playoffs for the first time in over a decade. Cause for celebration indeed.

Since that historic day, the Lambeau Leap has become a welcome staple, or rite of passage, inside Lambeau Field, claiming the first four rows in the end zone areas. As someone who witnessed the wielding Green Bay crowd in person last month for MNF against the Vikings, there is only one thing that can make Packers fans even crazier – that is the Lambeau Leap. (Scratch that, two things, the other being Aaron Rodgers and his superman-like abilities.) Crazy attire aside, those seats and the fans in them are no joke, carrying a $450/ticket price tag just to sit in history – literally. The leap is so legendary it’s been added to popular video game celebrations like Madden over the years.

As the NFL rules get stricter and stricter each year (no tweeting, no excessive celebrations, no tackling Tim Tebow or it’ll automatically be a roughing the passer call, etc), the Lambeau Leap and all its glory has remained mostly in tact. Former NFL commish Paul Tagliabue grandfathered the celebratory act into the new rules on post-scoring celebrations. The only two stringent rules were that only one player can jump into the stands at a time, and the leap must end before the extra point is kicked. Everything else (so far) is fair game.

So You Think You Can Leap? Here’s a simple how-to on mastering the gravity-defying leap:

1. Get a running start directly from the end zone, do not pass go. There is no time for an end zone dance; the only thing that matters is one successful leap into the fans. That is your end zone dance.

2. Look directly at the crazed fans in the first four rows of the end zone. You will need them for support (in more ways than one, depending on your ups).

3. Aim for the lowest dip in the wall at the base of the end zone. I know you show-boaters will want to aim high, but as a rookie leaper, let’s start small and work our way up. Deal?

4. Also when it comes to aiming – aim for fans dressed in green and gold. An actual cheesehead is a plus. This’ll only make your leap that much more picture-worthy – it may even end up on SportsCenter – or better yet, Facebook!

5. Leap into the air in an outward and upward motion, facing the fans. If you’re of veteran status, you can try to turn mid-air and sit on the wall for additional style points. As with any elite athletic maneuver, know your move before hand and commit to it.

6. If done correctly, you’ll spill at least two beers (the fans won’t care at all), get at least 10 helmet taps and 12 ass grabs. If you look or play like Aaron Rodgers, multiply those numbers by seven.

7. Don’t stay in leap position for an extended period of time – your leap must be completed before the extra point is kicked.

This may sound easy, especially for an athlete, but I can assure you it’s no easy feat. Packer legend, Donald Driver had a failed and trite attempt at his first go-round with the leap. Many players, Driver included, admitted to watching film of former WR Robert Brooks perfecting the full body launch into a sea of green. If only Vikings cornerback Fred Smoot had dutifully watched video, he would have thought better of trying to mimic the move.

It took Brett Favre 15 seasons to even attempt his first leap. Apparently, at some point even he was camera shy. My how things have changed. But not Aaron Rodgers. He claims he’d waited with baited breath for years as Favre’s backup to do his very own Lambeau Leap, which he did his very first game as a starter after he scored a game-winning TD on a perfect quarterback sneak.

LeRoy Butler was later inducted into the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame in ’07, but whether it was for his role in 181 games in a Packers uniform, or performing the inaugural Leap which created a sensational tradition in the wide world of sports, that’s for you to judge. Note, Butler was also the first defensive back in NFL history to gain entrance into the 20 sack | 20 interception club, so perhaps he was inducted for multiple reasons.

So Packers fans, as you celebrate last night’s savage beating on the Chicago Bears and today’s Lambeau Leap Anniversary, I ask you to find a designated driver, because as someone born in Wisconsin, I know exactly how your kind celebrates. I also encourage you to continue making this leap famous, and stay away from starring in your own sex tapes. #GoPackGo

A Love for Fashion. And Football.

In an effort to show you that girls can love sports, know sports, and look mighty fine wearing a jersey, I rounded up ten girls and paired each of them with some of the latest fall fashions from one of the hottest stores in Houston; Tootsies.

Here’s a glimpse of the girls and a little history on how each of them came to love their respective teams. While I can’t wholly vouch these girls know their teams as well as I know my Dream Team (let the jokes ensue), I did give them a thorough interview – some passed the test with flying colors, others just knew the colors. I also asked the girls to rank their undying devotion for their boys on the field from 1-10, with 10 being the biggest fan ever. Take a look for yourself and leave a comment who your favorite girl and/or team is.

Sophie Jones | 30 | Marketing in Oil and Gas | Indianapolis Colts

“I want to be a fan of the Texans, but it’s hard. I grew up in the Oilers era and the Texans just aren’t the same,” Sophie admits. Like many Indy fans, her love for the Colts really centers on the man in the pocket, Peyton Manning. She also grew extremely fond of the team during the Jim Mora period when we had his multiple illustrious playoff tirades. Who doesn’t remember those days? And better yet, who wouldn’t love a team led by such an intense personality? (Sophie is wearing Citizens of Humanity cropped skinny jeans and a Citizens of Humanity jacket.)

Fan Scale: 7. (She’s only torn in her allegiance to the Colts when they take on the Houston Texans, but so far that hasn’t affected her devotion too much.)

The Colts in your own words? Classy.

 

Jamie Honeycutt | 30 | Public Affairs | Houston Texans 

“I grew up an Oilers fan and when we didn’t have a team, I didn’t jump on the Cowboys bandwagon like others did. I always held out hope we’d get a new team. And now I just love my Houston Texans,” Jamie says. She’s also a big fan of Owen Daniels (whose Pro Bowl jersey she is sporting, thanks to Owen himself). “He’s definitely my favorite player because of his involvement with Blondes vs Brunettes and other charities. He has such a good heart, is down to earth and willing to go the extra mile to help his team and local charities. What else can you ask for in your favorite player?” Good question Jamie, good question. A big thanks to Owen for lending his jersey for this shoot. (Jamie is wearing a pink jacket from Mother Jeans.)

Fan Scale: 8.5

The Texans in your own words? Up and coming super stars. Super Bowl champs even.

 

Leigh Evans | 30 | Founder of GirlAroundTown.net | New York Giants

I love it when girls are frank with how they fell in love with their teams, and Leigh holds nothing back. A girl after my own heart. “The Giants are my favorite team and have been for some time. I always spent Sundays watching football with my dad and I used to pick teams based on how cute the boys on the team were. Back then I had a HUGE crush on Jeremy Shockey – apparently long blonde hair and tatted up guys are my thing,” she jokes. Later Leigh moved to New York for a few years where her love for the Giants only grew stronger. (Leigh is wearing a Dolce Cabo fur vest and J Brand Pencil Leg jeans.)

Fan Scale: 7.5

The Giants in your own words? Fighters.

 

Andrea Simmons | 25 | Owner and Makeup Artist at FaceFoward Weddings | Pittsburgh Steelers

Growing up, Andrea found herself in the bar scene even at an early age. No, she wasn’t neglected nor did she present with a drinking problem like Drew Barrymore. Her dad owned quite a few bars in the area. One of her best childhood memories was visiting the bar (before it opened to the public) and playing silly games with one of the bartenders who just so happened to be a huge Steelers fan. Seeing his intensity and love not only for the sport but the men in black and yellow made her an immediate fan. “Not to mention I freaking adore Troy Polamalu,” she adds. Off the field she thinks the Head and Shoulders commercials really shows off his sense of humor. As someone who craves extra volume in her hair, I’d love to interview Troy on some of his secrets. (Andrea is wearing an Alice + Olivia skirt and shoes from Louis Vuitton.)

Fan Scale: 8.5

The Steelers in your own words? Fun and aggressive. But at the same time.

 

Missy Sucre | 26 | Sales and Marketing | Dallas Cowboys

Although her heart always has and always will belong to the Houston Oilers, Missy chose to sport a Dallas Cowboys throwback jersey for the shoot. “Deion Sanders is my favorite player of all time and this particular throwback reminds me of the last days when Deion played so I felt it fitting to wear it,” she says. When asked her thoughts about the controversial and often joked about DIRECTV commercials with Deion flying around as a fairy, she thinks they’re hilarious. “It’s very primetime of him,” she explains. (Missy is wearing a purple skirt by Milly.)

Fan Scale (Cowboys): 2. Fan Scale (Deion): 10+

The Cowboys in your own words? Wrong time. Deion in your own words? Primetime

 

 

Chelsey Hearen | 25 | Accounting | New Orleans Saints 

“I’m a hometown girl so the Texans are my number one team,” Chelsey clarifies. After Hurricane Katrina, Chelsey, along with many others saw firsthand how inspirational the Saints were. “They were so instrumental in bringing the town back together after a tragedy of that magnitude,” she says. “If you’ve ever been to the Superdome you how much the town thrives on those games – it’s definitely a feel good moment in sports on pretty much a weekly basis,” she continues. Chelsey also rates Drew Brees as one of the best QBs in the league, and I can’t argue with her there. “He’s very humble, a family fan, and fun to watch,” she adds. Just another reason to root for NOLA. (Chelsey is wearing a skirt and belt – both BCBG.)

Fan Scale: 8

The Saints in your own words? Inspirational.

 

Narisa Dudonsky | 29 | Optometry | St. Louis Rams

A fan since the days when the Rams played in LA, Narisa admits her admiration for the Rams came about as consequence of the big rivalry with the Raiders. “I can’t stand the Raiders so I went for their arch enemy in the game,” she puts it bluntly. Originally from Seattle, she recognized early on she was a dysfunctional kid. “My whole family liked the Seahawks and I just wanted to be different. That along with my disdain for the Raiders made me a lifelong Rams fan,” she explains. Narisa also holds a lot of Houston Texans love in her heart and has been a season ticket holder since she moved here. The two teams have only played twice with the series tied at one win a piece. (Narisa is wearing pants by M Missoni, vest by Adrienne Landau, and Valentino shoes.)

Fan Scale: 7.5

The Rams in your own words? Better than the Raiders, baby!

 

Ashley Wundrum | 27 | Middle School Teacher | Chicago Bears 

Growing up in Iowa, Ashley has cheered for the Bears since before she can remember. “Chicago was the closest big city to us, so we all took them on as our team, and I’ve been a fan ever since,” she explains. Like many fans, Ashley’s quick to admit that although she roots for the navy and orange with everything’s she got, the season is much more fun to watch when they are winning. I guess that means she’s not watching much this season. When I asked her about Jay Cutler’s engagement to Kristin Cavallari, her response? “Oh, he can do so much better!” (Ashley is wearing Robbi & Nikki shorts)

Fan Scale: 6

The Bears in your own words? That’s easy – Da Bears.

 

 

Amy Macaulay | 29 | Rice MBA Graduate | New England Patriots

This may only make sense to you New England fans out there, but Amy claims she is a Pats fan because she is a Red Sox fan. “Being so into the Red Sox, naturally I just gravitated to New England sports in general,” she says. Her brother moved to Boston 5 years ago, which only made it easier for being a fan. “For 4 hours every Sunday, my day revolves around Gronkowski and his team. Most people would say Brady, but Gronkowski gets me fantasy points every weekend,” she explains. (Amy is wearing Stuart Weitzman shoes.)

Fan Scale: 9

The Patriots in your own words? Consistent

 

 

Jess Braudway | 25 | Leasing Coordinator | Minnesota Vikings (read Green Bay Packers) 

Don’t let the jersey fool you. “This is a Brett Favre jersey more than it is a Vikings jersey,” she explains. “I’m really not a Vikings fan – I’m a Favre fan,” she says again for added emphasis. When other hardcore Green Bay fans felt abandoned by Favre’s move to Minnesota, Jess saw things differently. “I was just excited he was still playing – he broke Dan Marino’s record for career TDs while he was there. I was actually there when he did it – the whole stadium was bleeding purple, so I’m OK being seen in this jersey as long as people understand the origin,” she says. Her love for the Packers comes about like many other young girls – their colors. “As a kid, green and yellow were my cheerleading colors so I guess I kind of fell in love with them because of that,” Jess says. Reasons aside, this girl is one helluva NFL fan. (Jess is wearing Chelsea skinny jeans.)

Fan Scale (Vikings): 5 Fan Scale (Favre): 20

Favre in your own words? A legend.

 

Jayme Lamm | 29 | Sports and Travel Writer | Philadelphia Eagles

Don’t say it – I know all about the Dream Team. I’ve heard it for the past 70+ days since the NFL season began. Vince Young totally screwed us on that and I’ll continue to blame him for the rest of the season or until he’s traded. I find it’s better to blame him than my beloved Andy Reid’s continual red flag botches and clock mismanagement or our disparaging secondary. I’ve been an Eagles fan since Christmas of 1991 – and it all started with a Starter jacket and a set of Encyclopedias. Those were the good ole Randall Cunningham days. (I am wearing a CROP dress by David Peck.)

Fan Scale: As far above a 10 as you can go

The Eagles in my own words: Believe it or not, I’m still having separation anxiety from Donovan.

Blondes are Bleaches.

Benjamin Click Photography

IF BLOOD IS THICKER THAN WATER, WHAT’S THICKER THAN HAIR COLOR?

Pretend it’s a bouquet, I screamed from the sidelines of practice. Most of the girls I hang around with on a daily basis are born and bred athletes. They’ve watched football, played in co-ed leagues, participated in some sort of collegiate sport – it’s ingrained in their everyday nature.

I’ve had to remind myself each week at practice that not all girls have this same athletic or sports-minded mentality. Many of my teammates have never touched a football, much less tried to snag a pick 6 from one of the fastest route-runners in all of Houston (whose name starts with Elizabeth and ends with Rhoden).

So I decided to stop yelling play back like Asante Samuel and watch the QB’s eyes and instead opted for the bouquet parallel. Half the girls are familiar Samuel as the DB for the Philadelphia Eagles and the other half relate to the played out chick flick scenes fighting and diving for the coveted bouquet – either way by the end of practice everyone knows to go to the ball (or bouquet) instead of waiting for it to land in their arms.

This Saturday our seven weeks of practice will finally be played out on the field. Skip Lee Field to be exact. This season marks the sixth straight year more than a hundred seemingly professional women of all hair colors come together clad in cleats and jerseys for the annual Powderpuff football game supporting The Alzheimer’s Association.

Benjamin Click Photography (Kim Orr)

Blondes and brunettes who might have been friends off the field will stash their friendship in the locker-room. Players are sworn enemies come game day, and rightly so. The Brunettes lead the series 3-2 and after being shutout last year, the Blondes are out for blood. Or hair.

The only thing pretty on game day will be the teams in matching jerseys and the ubiquitous knee-high American Apparel socks that boys everywhere dream about. Girls will come donned in a moderate amount of makeup (if any), hair pulled up (and matching their team of choice as the rules clearly state), but once the whistle blows, the smiles fade away and it’s game on. Bragging rights for the winning hair color are at stake.

But it’s important to note what goes on off the field: heaping efforts of fundraising, friendships (both old and new) and heartfelt stories about why girls are playing for such a memorable cause. In just six years, the Houston BVB team has raised over $500,000 for The Alzheimer’s Association – it’s become almost as big a battle, if not more, on which team raises more money – Blondes or Brunettes?

Writing a sport’s column cleverly titled The Blonde Side, one would reasonably think I would be lending my defensive skills to Team Blonde – but when does logic and reason make sense? As I mentioned last year, I’m playing on Team Brunette in celebration of my beautiful grandma Edna who we lost a few years ago to Alzheimer’s.

The vision of every blonde and brunette playing and volunteering is simple: A world without Alzheimer’s disease.

BVB only takes place in Columbus, Buffalo, Chicago, NYC, DC, Kansas City, Austin and Houston. So consider this your lucky day Houstonians.

Get your tickets for Saturday now – and if you’re a fan of this article, be sure to purchase under TEAM BRUNETTE so we can beat them on the field and fundraising!

Can’t make the game, but want to donate?

WHEN: June 11, 2011 – Noon
WHERE: Skip Lee Field, St. Johns School | 2501 Claremont Ln — Houston, Texas 77019

This game was made possible thanks to many generous sponsors, a few of which include: Gainer Donnelly & Desroches, Vintage Lounge, Antique Bar, 2125 Yale, Budweiser/Silvereagle

NFL QB’s Parallel To The Jersey Shore

Jersey Shore cast

Jersey Shore cast

The NFL has been a staple in my life longer than My Little Ponies. Seriously. And for better or worse I tend to dwell on comparing people. I’ve been known to compare myself to my boyfriend’s exes a time or two, and it’s not a pretty site. For anyone. I’m also a big fan of train wrecks. Especially those involving Ed Hardy and other tight glittered dragon ensembles in the form of a t-shirt.

And so begins my eloquent segue comparing today’s NFL Quarterbacks to the crusty cast of MTV’s Jersey Shore (for fun, and because of my extreme dislike for the Dallas Cowboys, I’ve also made a Tony Romo parallel for each):

Pauly D. – The DJ infinitely known for his “blow out” and mass amounts of gel products. When you think of hair in the NFL, two guys should come to mind: head and shoulders spokesman Troy Polamalu of the Steelers and Patriots Quarterback, Tom Brady. Pauly D. is about as non-controversial as you can get in the shore house. He seems to be that guy everyone likes – even stalks. Tom Brady fits that to a t. He’s the ultra cool guy on the field, good passer rating (111.00 last season), great hair, and a smoking hot wife. Most people are fans of Pauly D. and Tom Brady – or at least wish they were friends with them.

Pauly D. has a tanning bed in his house. That he brags about. Talk about the douchebag meter running at ultra high levels. “Douchebag meter running at ultra high levels” should be the urban dictionary definition of Tony Romo.

Dropped Balls

Some dropped balls we anticipate more than others.  Like the New Year’s Eve ball that drops every year at Times Square.  We know it’s going to happen and so we wait for it with baited breath.  Hell, we even throw parties in honor of it.

Dropped balls in football – not so much.  Take Braylon Edwards (wide receiver for the New York Jets) for instance.  As we all know, every time he gets the ball there’s a 50/50 chance he’s going to drop it like it’s hot.  The man just can’t hold on to the ball.  If you’re watching at home, then you might as well make yourself a cup of coffee, or go back to your online game at PartyCasino.it for a couple of minutes – the chances are that nothing’s going to come of his catch. Our hearts race because as much faith as we publicly profess to have in the guy on any given Sunday, the moment someone like Edwards (and every team has an “Edwards”) gets the ball, said faith is thrown out the window.  When push comes to shove you just never know if he’ll hang on.

Football often reminds me of the song if you’re happy and you know it clap your hands.  When the guys on our team snag a high pass or run a sick slant through a tough defense, we’re exuberant fans cheering up and down high-fiving anyone that passes by. But when that same guy, even if he’s the same guy that got the game-winning TD last week, fumbles in the red zone, he’s dead to us.  At least until we get the ball back and it’s out of our systems.

It All Started with a Starter Jacket…

When I tell people I’m from Virginia and follow that up with the fact I’m a HUGE Philadelphia Eagles fan, a perplexed look immediately swoops across their faces. And for the life of me, I can’t figure out why.

Newsflash: Virginia isn’t home to any NFL team and never has been. Sure, the Washington Redskins are 200 miles north, but being as that’s my dad’s favorite team and I’m the rebellious little zealot that I am, I was on the hunt to find MY perfect team. (Note: the Ravens franchise did not yet land in Baltimore as they would have possibly been another viable close-to-home option.)

In sixth grade (back in good ole 1991), Starter jackets were all the rage (it blows my mind these same once-coveted trends now clutter the clearance racks at TJ Maxx, but I digress), so rationally, like an only child I just had to have one.

Real Men Wear Pink. And Love Boobs.

Jayme Lamm and Larry FitzgeraldBreast cancer awareness month has officially ended, but the long-standing affects from league efforts are still kicking.

I hate to use the word trendy in relation to breast cancer, but the pink ribbon phenomenon and proceeds from product XYZ benefiting breast cancer charity XYZ are compelling.  So much so, the NFL and a handful of elite players have taken it to another level with the league’s campaign, “A Crucial Catch,” which ran through the month of October.  A Victoria’s Secret-esque tinted campaign no less; “A Crucial Catch” is currently in its second year. The campaign partners with the American Cancer Society and various local team charities.  The NFL has emphatically committed to the cause stating, “This is an issue that has directly touched the lives of so many in the NFL family, and we are committed to helping make a difference in breast-cancer prevention.”  Touching the lives of so many in the NFL is a grossly accurate statement.  Just to name a few in recent media:

–Derrick Dockery (Washington Redskins) – his wife Emma lost her mother to cancer four years ago

–Chris Cooley (Washington Redskins) – his mother Nancy is a survivor

–Ryan Denney (Houston Texans) – his wife Sheri is a survivor

If the Cowboys are America’s Team, I don’t want to be American

I know exactly when it happened. The day I became a real, big-time Dallas Hater. I was 11 months old, sitting on my mom’s lap wearing a onesie that read, “This is your brain [Redskins helmet]. This is your brain on drugs [Cowboys star].” I knew from then on that to get anywhere in life I had to be a Dallas Hater.

I’ll be the first to admit I started this season with an uneasy feeling that the Cowboys, unfathomably dubbed America’s Team, would be good this year — maybe even Super Bowl-bound. This had nothing to do with their roster or the fact that Tony Romo wears that gay fedora in every single press conference. My suspicion stemmed from the Kardashian Bang Theory, or KBT if you will.

Let’s face it — odds are pretty good that when you bang a Kardashian your team will start playing better and winning championships.  Case in point:

Reggie Bush: Long-time banger of Kim Kardashian; 2010 Super Bowl champ w/ the Saints

Lamar Odom: Bangs/marries Khloe Kardashian; back-to-back NBA champ w/ the Lakers

Miles Austin: Current banger of Kim Kardashian; TBD

My fantasy…with a football. And Matthew Berry and Lance Zierlein.

Fantasies come in all shapes and sizes.  Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston in one bed for example.  Most chicks don’t fantasize about sports unless of course it includes a raunchy affair with a steroid-stiff athlete, but since when I have been most chicks?  Growing up I was never that kid that wanted to be an astronaut or ballerina.  I simply wanted to own my own football team – presumably the Philadelphia Eagles so I could hang out with Randall Cunningham everyday.

Right now my current fantasy lies with the nationally esteemed M.O.F.F. (man of fantasy football), Matthew Berry, and Lance Zierlein, one of the most respected fantasy football experts in Houston. I picked their brains on sleepers, trade secrets, and why on earth fantasy football has become a bigger trend than a professional athlete dating a Kardashian.

Dying to Tackle.

Team Brunette (Photo by Beauty in Art)

I was born with two HUGE assets. I guess you could say some call me lucky. My mother likes to refer to those assets as my ‘Heart and Soul’. (Really, what were you thinking?)

Luckily this heart and soul of mine is a well-balanced addiction between an undying love for football and charity work. So you can only imagine how jazzed I was when I was asked to play in a girls-only football game benefiting a charity I wholeheartedly support.

For the fifth straight year, The Alzies, the young committee supporting The Alzheimer’s Association Houston and Southeast Texas Chapter, are bringing back the Blondes vs. Brunettes (BvB) Powder Puff Football Game as a delightfully entertaining rough and tumble fundraiser. Read more
