Toro…Oh Mi Amor

September 3, 2010 By Michele Lewis 2 Comments

Michele Lewis + Toro = Love

Caffeine. It gets me a little…giddy. Giddy can be dangerous for me….especially at football games with Twitter in my whimsical hand. Last night’s lack of reception was probably divine intervention because I would have been tweeting away (more of) my love for Toro (see his video below). Oh Houston Texans Toro…The Reverend Horton Heat’s “Mi Amor” comes to mind.

I asked the Texans’ Twitter account if he would ask me out if I wore my Halloween cow costume. No response.

I picked Toro as my 2010 love because Brad Ausmus left me for another team and I don’t see Jeff Bagwell at the gym anymore. And even though I’m a Cougar and Case Keenum is a Cougar… two Cougars don’t make a right. Two Cougars in another State might be OK but not here in Texas.

Speaking of things inappropriate… sorry guys but I’m really sick of watching the NFL cheerleaders bend over and rub their derrieres in front of five year-olds. That’s just gross. Come on, everyone knows Confucius say: She who try too hard to be sexy is one who try too hard. Oh wait… AC/DC’s Thunderstruck is the theme song… oh, I get it now.

Geeze, at least at the WSOP Expo…it was 21 and up.

The Hottest Texan to Stomp on Cowboys

August 28, 2010 By Michele Lewis Leave a Comment

It’s been a long time since I wore my Houston Oiler’s Luv Ya Blue shirt with my oil derrick back pocket jeans to a football game. So long ago that Earl Campbell was still playing. In the Astrodome.

Now that I’m an adult and Bum Phillips sells sausage…I find myself sitting at the games wondering … does anyone notice they play an Australian band, AC/DC, at kickoff every year? But more importantly… I wonder if the hottest guy on the Texans team (see pic below) has a girlfriend.

Speaking of the Phillips family… the Houston Texans stomped on Dallas Cowboys tonight for the last preseason game.

Hook Alabama, McCoy… Just Hook’em

Finally… the Longhorns face Alabama in the Rose Bowl. Can Colt McCoy give us a little Vince Young Hook’em tonight?

One (and only) reason Alabama winning tonight would be good… Shannon Shorr will be happy. Shorr is in Pasadena, follow Shorr’s Twitter Rose Bowl updates during the game here and his blog here.

Cougars Love Case Keenum

September 26, 2009 By Michele Lewis Leave a Comment

Sure, maybe I was a cougar when I met my husband and he was so young, he road a moped and I paid for our first date. But now I’m loving Case Keenum who happens to be getting love by thousands of Cougars.

I haven’t been to a Cougar football game since Andre Ware won the Heisman Trophy. That was back when UH was busted for paying young hot guys to join the Cougar team. That’s actually how UH got their name The Cougars. Kidding.

Fortunately, word is… Keenum isn’t paid. He’s just a great player. A diamond in the rough who seems to remain humble. So, if you’re not a Texas Tech fan then give it up for the Cougars tonight. Or at least give a Go Coogs! Tweet. I mean really, how can you not root for or show some love to Cougars?

Lacey Jones On Monday Night Football

September 14, 2009 By Michele Lewis Leave a Comment

I’m not really sure I’ve ever heard of Monday Night Football. Or maybe it’s been blocked out of my mind because I’m a Houstonian still looking for Bum Phillips, Earl Campbell. Either way, Lacey Jones (a smart, nice, sincere and beautiful woman) was in the Vegas.com commercial tonight.

Watch the commercial here.

NFL Makes Poker Person Happy

October 12, 2008 By Michele Lewis Leave a Comment

Finally. Houstonians have something to cheer about other than the return of electricity.The Houston Texans won their first game of the season today despite holes still in the roof. It was a grim moment when the fourth down went south but fortunately the challenge was given a do-over approval. I swear I could hear the players yelling "do-over! do-over!" And I’m so glad we didn’t leave the game before they re-did their do-over. Even better was my son witnessing some fourth quarter success.

So how does this relate to poker? Well, Seth Palansky of course. Palansky, Communications Director for the World Series of Poker, was Director of Media Services for the NFL and before that… headed publicity campaigns for Fox Sports Net.

Sure, that might be impressive but not nearly as much as Palansky having Andre Johnson on his fantasy football league. But I guess in the end, it really depends on whether or not one finds 178 receiving yards impressive. At a minimum, this year the Texans will match the Miami Dolphins 2007 record.

Should the Texans win first draft pick…

By the way, don’t play poker with Palansky. He says he doesn’t know how to play but he killed the WSOP media event.
