Good Monday Morning

Admit, you always wondered what happens to those "champion" hats and shirts that are made before the Super Bowl but then get hastily discarded for the losing team. I always thought it would be cool to own one of the "misprints." Well, we at least know what happened to the Patriots 19-0 shwag.

MANAGUA, Nicaragua -- The New England Patriots won the Super Bowl and ended the season with a perfect 19-0 record -- at least it looks that way in Nicaragua.

The NFL donated 290 Patriots hats and an equal number of team jerseys trumpeting the slogans "Super Bowl Champions, 19-0" to impoverished children from two small communities in southern Nicaragua.

Thursday's gifts could not change history -- the Patriots lost the Feb. 3 game to the New York Giants 17-14 - but they made a lot of youngsters in the communities of San Gregorio and Buena Vista very happy, said Miriam Diaz, spokeswoman for the humanitarian organization World Vision, which arranged the donation with the NFL.

"They (Patriots) lost, but the children won," Diaz said.

The only "football" most of the children know is soccer, but they were very enthusiastic about the U.S. version of the game once the rules were explained to them, she said.

"They were very happy to receive the hats and jerseys," Diaz said. "They said they did not expect such a surprise."

Neither did the Patriots.

Don't Ever Doubt My Game Young Buck

And what was in the envelope you wonder...

Dang right I got it goin' on !!

A Bright Candle Blown Out
Princess Giselle had such a bright future. However, after her star role in Enchanted it looks like the heat of the spotlight took its toll on her.

Her body was found in my laundry room late Sunday (why Anna felt the need to hang Giselle and her wet dress on the drying rack is beyond me).


No Fatties Around Here
Anna felt kinda miffed that LP took a late night walk around the block without taking her. So I had to fire up a Tivo'ed episode of Gilad from FitTV so she could do her workout for the night.


You also now see the reason LP and I wish we had a house with a few more rooms. It's soooooo much fun to have all the kids' toys in the living room.

Have a great week. I'm super busy at work and loving it.
