The If Question with the telegram.

Thanks for all of the well-wishes from yesterday’s post. But today is Friday and we have a weekend coming up and I am feeling GOOD about this weekend! Which probably means a disaster or two is waiting for me. Meh. A girl can still dream, can’t she?

Speaking of dreaming: this week’s If Question is…  If you were to receive a telegram tomorrow from any person in history, still alive, who would it be from and what would it say?

First, we’re going to pretend it can be a letter or an email. Because, people, I do not speak telegram. Stops and full stops and missing words…it’s beyond me. And I love you, but not enough to go google it and translate what I really want to say. So.

As for the author of my “telegram” and its contents – that’s the easy part. My telegram would be from Tom Brady, telling me that my die-hard loyalty to the Pats is legendary back east. His telegram goes on to offer me two seats at the 50-yard line (conveniently right behind the bench) for every home game. (I waffled here. I thought about having him offer seats in their box, but it would be a lot more fun being right down there with the guys. Plus, if there’s snow-throwing to be had, I want in on it!)

Tom would be kind enough to throw in plane tickets each weekend so I wouldn’t kill my bank account flying back and forth. He almost threw in another two seats – for a grand total of four tickets to each game – but I wanted to keep it a little realistic. Seriously. This way I can take my Insignificant Other for a few games, or my crazy non-football loving friends for a girls’ weekend, or my brother. I imagine my brother and I will go to a lot of games together. He’s the one who first enabled my football dorkiness; I feel I owe him a lot. As it is, we text back and forth during every game. Actually going to a game together would be the height of awesomeness. Okay, no – Brady coming up and talking to us after the game would be the height of awesomeness. But having my brother there for that would still be pretty cool.

(P.S. – In other football news, have you heard that Indy released Marvin Harrison?  Marvin Harrison! The guy has been there 13 years, is partnered with Peyton for the most pitch and catches for any QB/WR duo in the history of the NFL, and they’ve let him go. It’s also rumored that center Jeff Saturday – another Pro-Bowler – will be released to free agency. And possibly their punter, Hunter Smith. I think the only guys new coach Jim Caldwell kept were Peyton Manning and Dwight Freeney. (Oh how I’d love to get my hands on Freeney and stuff him into a Pats jersey.)

Ahem. Anyway. Yes, so my answer is Football…er, Tom Brady. That’s what I could do. What about you? What would your magical telegram say?
