New York (Day 1)

Took way too many red eye flights to get to our final destination: NYC!

To be more specific, SJC – ATL – CVG – LGA

The first (half) day consisted of…

2012 // Tailgate : 49ers vs Seahawks

October 18, 2012 – Thursday Night Football

How do you tailgate when you’re rushing to Candlestick Park from work, with no time to spare? You order take-out food and get rid of the grill, of course!

This game didn’t land on a Sunday.

Weekday games are always fun. Maybe it’s the idea of playing hooky or leaving work early that makes them more exciting. Maybe it’s the lights that shine at night throughout the stadium and the even colder breeze from the bay. Or maybe it’s prime time football at it’s finest.

Whatever it is, night games are intense and we were there!

Here it is! My contribution to Throwback Thursday. Here’s where I left off:

Saturday (October 6, 2012 – NLDS Game 1: San Francisco Giants vs Cincinnati Reds); then Sunday (October 7, 2012 – San Francisco 49ers vs Buffalo Bills); and now we’re on to the next game: 49ers vs the New York Giants….

2013 // Play Flag Football : Devin’s Highlights 

Here is a video of Devin’s highlights from this past Winter 2013 season with the San Jose Seahawks. Make sure to watch the clip at the very end to see his touchdown that he made on his sixth birthday back in 2009!

 

Football doesn’t end after the Superbowl. For me and my boyfriend, it’s something we enjoy the entire 365 days in a year.

The Play Flag Football winter season just ended yesterday. Devin and the rest of the San Jose Seahawks (8-9 age group), finished by winning the Division Championship!

We are so proud of Devin and his accomplishments.

Play Action Shoot (Terrell Lloyd, myself, Kym Fortino, and Ben Warden) – October 7, 2012

Keeping my posts in chronological order…

This was the first game in October for the San Francisco 49ers, and just like the rest of the other teams in the NFL, there were pops of bright pink throughout the stadium in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month.

It may have been another day on the job, but I definitely enjoyed the beautiful scenery.

NLDS: Game 1

Giants vs Reds – October 6, 2012

It’s time to play catch up! I know, I know, I know…

I’ve been M.I.A. for far too long! So from now on, I will post photo diaries & tailgate pictures during every “Throwback Thursday” or “Flashback Friday” of the weeks to come until I catch up to present day.

What’s the point? Well, my OCD won’t allow me NOT to post these pictures up and I wouldn’t want you all thinking I’ve been slacking as a sports fan!

So reminisce with me & enjoy!

Celebrating Justin’s 28th “Gold-Blooded” Birthday at Candlestick Park!

With back-to-back San Francisco 49ers home games this entire month, expect tons of pictures coming your way on my blog!

My long-time friend, Justin, only wanted three things for his birthday: family, friends, and 49ers football. Everyone came together to give him exactly what he wanted. We had a big group with us, celebrating at the birthday boy’s tailgate. Good food and great company. Fun, fun, fun!

So prepare to keep scrolling down the page, because I got a lot of pictures up on this one. A LOT! Enjoy!

2012 // Giants vs Padres 

On our way to AT&T Park for another date night!

Giants vs Padres – September 22, 2012

This timing of this post depended on the outcome of today’s game. I was either going to “take my time” or blog as soon as possible after Game 3.

So now that this is obviously up on the same day, we all know who won! Giants baby!! I’m ready for more torture!

And as the motto “One game at a time” rings in every Giants fans’ ears, let me take you all back to the game that brought us here in the first place…

Datu Knows x Play Action Shoot

49ers vs Vikings (September 23, 2012) – Photo by Terrell Lloyd & edited by Melissa Datu

I wanted to share my first official post on Play Action Shoot! Since the rest of the crew (Terrell & Kym) are currently working at the 49ers/Jets game, I didn’t want to sit on the couch and do nothing.

So this is how I spent my Sunday.

I edited pictures and blogged at home, while the crew is away at the game. I wanted to contribute one way or another. Check it out!

Let’s go NINERS!

C’mon! Are You Kidding Me?!

Dear NFL,
Allow me to contribute to this social media frenzy. Tweets and re-tweets are not enough for this gal.

I truly tried to forget about it. Maybe keeping ESPN on after the MNF game wasn’t the wisest idea. I almost chucked my remote at the television in pure frustration.

I’m taking the smarter route by choosing to blog rather than having to eventually purchase a new flat screen at Best Buy this weekend.
