5 Things Learned from the Pats-Steelers Game

1. To heck with urban legends: Contrary to popular belief, the cut-off hoodie is not the only piece of upper body outerwear Bill Belichick wears.
2. If you want substance behind a player’s guarantee that his team will win, don’t expect the Steelers’ Anthony Smith—spotted wearing egg on his trash-talking visage today—to be your guy.
3. The yellow flag-tossing trend didn’t catch on. That $25,000 fine the league assessed Bart Scott for his antics on December 3 apparently weren’t much of an incentive.
4. Watching Borat the night before the game may ingrain the phrase “like sleeve of wizard” in one’s head; surprisingly, its descriptive use for anything “loose” or “hanging” comes in handy during football games, too.
5. It’s always wise to hold onto receipts. Guess we can return that unopened Pepto Bismol now . . .

I wonder what kind of bath salts pro-ballers use after the game to soothe muscle ache. Do you think they use performance-enhancing aroma therapy after a loss and a more relaxing flowers and herb scent after a win?
Kate–Too bad none of them took part in the Project Blog contest for last week! Who knows, maybe Curt Schilling left an anonymous comment on Allison’s blog for the bath salts prize.
And I don’t know about you, but if I see a cardboard cutout of a professional male athlete near the bubble bath display in Bath and Body Works, I’m running the other way.
