Football Playoffs! Catch up with Anya’s Picks

Friday, January 21st, 2011

NFL Playoff Week whatever Blog:
It’s been almost a week since the last playoff round, and the games are still semi-fresh in my mind. I was definitely shocked at a few outcomes, but pleasantly surprised at others. Is that too vague? Let me break it down.

Shocked: That the Patriots lost
Pleasantly Surprised: Tom Brady got his long hair handed to him in the form of Mark Sanchez’s winning smile.

I’m already bored with this introduction- Let’s just recap last week’s shenanigans.

Pittsburgh vs Baltimore aka “There Will Be Blood”
Pittsburgh may have won this game, but Baltimore wins for style points. The hits were hard, the yelling was loud, a yoga move was conducted on the field, and Baltimore managed to score the easiest touchdown of the weekend.
see video here and here.
That. Just. Happened.
Also, Mike Tomlin, it’s always a pleasure to see you when you’re not moonlighting on “House”.

Hey, Its Mike Tomlin Omar!

Hey, It's Mike Tomlin Omar!


Seattle vs Chicago
I think we went to Safeway during this game, but we did come back just in time to see Chicago beat Seattle. To be fair though, is anyone surprised?

Green Bay vs Atlanta
Another “meh” game. I’m fairly certain I took a nap during this, but thankfully Green Bay won, so my cheese hat is still in the running of food to be made come Super Bowl Sunday.

NY Jets vs New England, or “Handsome Faced Tom Brady vs Winning Smile Sanchez”
I don’t dislike many people. No, that’s a lie- I can tolerate most people. However, I cannot tolerate Tom Brady. I can’t explain it, and I’m sure he’s a lovely gentleman (not really), but he makes me see red. Despite my unexplainable hatred for Tom Brady, I was rooting for the Patriots, just because I want to try out a new clam chowder recipe.
Both Brady and Sanchez weren’t exactly playing their best, as Brady was sacked roughly 1 million times, and Sanchez apparently forgot how to play football, but in the end Sanchez’s winning smile dominated Brady’s laughable haircut. Leif Garrett called and he wants his feathered hair back, bro.

So, this week we have the Jets vs Pittsburgh, and Chicago vs Green Bay.

I could make a prediction based on stats and history, and players, and blah, blah, blah, but that’s too logical. Logic being something I fail miserably at, considering I spent the first twenty-four years of my life convinced if the air temperature dropped below twenty-seven, it automatically snowed.

Instead I will go with what I want to cook on Super Bowl Sunday.

Jets vs Pittsburgh: Thin Crust Pizza vs Fries and Ketchup
My pick: Jets
Chicago vs Green Bay: Deep Dish Pizza vs. CHEESE HAT????
My pick: Green Bay, 100%

AddictingGames From The News!

If it's in the news it has to be true!

When celebrities (or reality show stars) do something silly we make it our mission to turn their misfortune into our success, which is why we love News Games so very much! Let’s take a look back at the blunders of the past that have given way to our favorite celebrity oops.

NBA Shootout – Did Arenas and Crittenton pull guns on each other in the locker room over a gambling dept? I don’t know I wasn’t there. But did we speculate, joke and make fun of it with a game about shooting a basketball? You bectcha’!

Tiger Parking Slam
At one point this year you couldn’t sneeze and not hit one of Tiger Woods alleged mistresses. And like a moth a flame they kept coming out of the wood work, good thing Tiger learned to drive away fast, or did he?

Shut Up Kanye
Kanye, I’m gonna let you finish but first I’m gonna throw some fruit at you and maybe a microphone. Your crazy rant at the MTV Music Awards was bizarre but provided the world with a great running joke and reason to say “Shut Up Kanye!”

Tiger Woods has recently become a a dear member of our AG family. We gave you solid titles like Tiger Woods Defense and Tiger Parking Slam but now that Tiger is back in golf and appearing on TV a lot more we only felt it was right to give him a game he can relate to. This bring us to Tiger’s Revenge a brand new game where Tiger Fights back by blocking out the distractions around him while sinking some serious shots in the mini put Masters. Check out this except from the games intro:

“Tiger Woods is starting small in is comeback: playing nine high-pressure rounds of mini-golf. Can the apologetic golf-god maintain his focus as a parade of bimbos, strippers and cocktail waitresses try to grab their own fifteen minutes of fame? And watch out for Elin! She swings a wicked five-iron and has plenty of reason to tee off…on her hubby’s horny head!”

It’s up to you now to help Tiger get back to his winning form. For Tiger, his ultimate revenge is just a few shots away! Do you have what it takes to help him achieve his goal? Play Tigers Revenge below and find out!
