In ♥ & Soul, Community, Home Sweet Home, Public Interest, Relationships, Sports, Sports Sunday, Sunday Fun Day, Travel, Weekly Wonders, What's Hot, Yours Truly on 02/07/2016 at 15:30

Peyton Manning is the Man!

Whether as an Indianapolis Colt or a Denver Bronco, I’ve always been a 📢fan.

  • 👊🏻Stand-up guy
  • 🍩Oreo Double Stuff w/brother Eli
  • 🍕Papa John’s fly
  • 🚘Nationwide’s pride
  • 🏉Scored w/my homeboy in SB 41 ~ 1 & done, son!

So, as the AFC Champs🏆 play🏈 in the Bay🌉 today in their white, I’ll be DIY out of sight with my blue and orange spirit on bright! Rooting on this QB in SB 50! 🇺🇸

DB QB Peyton Manning SB 50

Three decades in between, with many line dances seen, another one comes to the ‘lene scene from this newest Dr. Dispo.

Cowboys Fans

Throwback: Papa Jun & I en route to our *Dallas Cowboys* game against the Philly Eagles during the ‘BOYS‘ first season at its new home field (then-Cowboys Stadium/now-AT&T Stadium)

Just like any fortunate child who has grown up with a father or paternal figure, I feel extremely †blessed† and grateful to still have mine as a constant part of my life.

Dad the DCC Fan

Throwback: Papa Jun & I have a good view of *America’s Team* and *America’s Sweethearts from 6 rows behind the end zone!

Papa Jun is one of the most well-rounded people who I know and admire:

Even as an adult, I still keep learning from my Dad, who always enlightens me everyday, through his example and his wisdom as a prayerful soon-to-be first-time grandfather with whom I attended Church today. Cheers, Pops!

Maligayang Bati, Papa Jun, at ♥Mahal♥ Kita!

For a 💡dose🍊 of motivation:

My 👓Must-See👀 💿DVDs📀

  

Get Coached is a collection💾 of 🎬segments🎥 from 🌠winning🏆 🏉football🏈 📣coaches📢

  • 4 NFL head coaches, including 2 Mikes ~ one (Singletary) who played for another Mike (Ditka) & the father (Buddy Ryan) of another featured coach (Rex Ryan), + another one (Sean Payton) who I actually reported on for one of my last doctoral classes
  • The Florida State Seminoles former coach (Bobby Bowden)

 

I also am including how their speeches🎤 ~ which are relevant not just in terms of athletic leadership, but 👔corporate💼 🏣business, as well ~ tie in with the 🌈exemplary💭 leadership theory that I’m exploring in my doctoral🎓 📜dissertation.

📢Cheers👏🏽 to 🏉NFL🏈 Preseason I 🎊2015🎉 👟kickoff!

Sports Sunday: There’s Something About Brett Favre

In ♥ & Soul, Community, Health, Home Sweet Home, Relationships, Sports, Sports Sunday, Technology, Travel, Weekly Wonders, What's Hot, Yours Truly on 07/19/2015 at 05:00

After the former Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings and New York Jets’ Brett Favre‘s on-and-off again retirement drama💔 ~ I mean, news📰 ~ I’ve missed seeing him on the field …

Until he returned to Lambeau Field🏈 for his induction into the Packers’ Hall of Fame🏆 yesterday!

SI July

More info in SI earlier this month! Gotta ♥love♥ this fellow Lab parent! 🏉📰📖🐶🐾

Highlights from Favre’s career, c/o 🏈NFL🏉

Aside from his 👊🏼grid iron💪🏼 persona, I still enjoy watching Favre on

  • Wranglers Jeans👖 commercials📺
  • There’s Something About Mary💽😅😹

Fun Favre Fact:

He’s a fellow †faithful† ☝🏼Catholic✌🏼!

  • When I sang in my Valley Church💒 🎤Choir, a ❄️Winter⛄️ 🐎Texan🏇🏽 from Wisconsin informed me that he stood by her during Mass🙏🏼 at her regular Parish, and he was way taller than her!
  • Soon after she shared with me her story, this sighting was published 📰

With so many candidates in the running for Commander-in-Chief, I propose

Great American🇺🇸 Brett Favre for 👔President! I’ll be your campaign manager!

Happy 2015 🏈NFL🏉 Draft Day 1!

While I’m disappointed that my main NBA🏀 team, the Dallas Mavericks, aren’t advancing to Round 2 of the Playoffs, I must point out a few fun facts about the other Texas🏇 team who eliminated them…

  • The Houston 🚀Rockets’ D-League affiliate, the Rio Grande Valley 🐍Vipers, won the 2010 NBA-DL championship🏆 under my watch!

 

  • The Vipers head coach📢 back then, Chris Finch, now is assistant coach of the Rockets!

 

  • I was a faithful ☝️fan, as you can see on the bench, backing los Vipers (check out my close-up in my black Vipers tee behind the team in ⏰seconds :32-37)!

 

Foodie Friday: Fight Night & Game Grub ~ SBXLIX Edition

In ♥ & Soul, Community, Foodie Friday, Health, Home Sweet Home, Public Interest, Relationships, Sports, Weekly Wonders, What's Hot, Yours Truly on 02/06/2015 at 11:45

With last weekend being full of festivities, we were in great food and company! My LMT girl Lisa and her hubby hosted Fight Night (UFC main event: Anderson Silva post-2013 leg injury) on Super Bowl Sunday Eve! Then I watched the Big Game with my Papa Jun!

The commonalities between both meals were:

    • pizza (Little Caesar’s & Pizza Hut)
    • dip (Ranch & Nutella)
    • oodles of noodles (post-fight & pre-game)
    • veggies (fresh & roasted)
IMG_2160

Fight Night Feast: {clockwise from top L} Little Caesar’s Pretzel Pizza from yours truly * fruit w/chocolate fondue made by yours truly (Nutella & Philadelphia Cream Cheese) * veggies w/Ranch dressing * slider sandwiches w/Dijon mustard, turkey & cheese (either Swiss or Munster)

IMG_2164

Portion control: Lisa sliced the pizza into smaller pieces, so more could be up for grabs!

IMG_2163

These slider sandwiches were a hit! Hands down: they scored a touchdown @ this table!

IMG_2165

Fun fact: Did you know that you burn more calories than you consume when you munch on celery due to the crunch? Challenge accepted!

IMG_2166

After the fruit was gone, a fellow cat mama & I turned to the carrots to dip into the chocolate!

IMG_2167

To top off my plate, I had my green drink to toast!

IMG_2187

Post-Fight: Rice Noodles w/meatballs ~ looks like this yummy bowl is Lisa‘s version of Pho!

IMG_2219

Pre-Game: My Ramen w/Salsa + P.I. Cheese on Toast

Yes’sir, I AM the Ranch B*tch: from my salad to pizza (Supreme from the Hut)

Almond Joy Pie: filled w/Nutella but bittersweet due to the Seahawks’ SB loss

This post-game croissant-reminiscant breakfast: Cookie & Cocoa Butter Swirl goes nuts w/pecans & almonds ~ shaped like a ♥heart♥ for ♥Valentine’s♥ Day!

Coffee pairs well w/Cookie & Cookie & Cocoa Butter Swirl + croissant!

Chili Chip Pie, oh my!

IMG_2400-0

My mom went happy on kale, both in the chili & in these chips baked in EVOO + in this green drink complete con más avocado!

Again, Context Media Health has been on point, as if it’s been reading my mind ~ this time, about Black Beans & Avocados!
