Without exception, every year for the five months that follow the Superbowl, a little bit of me dies off. That and much to the excitement of my friends and family, my Sundays (and Monday nights) are free and clear. But come July when training camp starts and the pre-season gets going a few weeks later, my engine revs up and it’s like I’ve come alive in a whole new world. Don’t even get me started when the first “Are You Ready For Some Football” is uttered by Hank Williams Jr. I know, I know, as a female being such a big fan is not  very common; for that, I wear my NFL fandom and my team affiliation like a badge of honor.

In addition to going to games (which is an amazing experience in and of itself and I highly recommend it), hitting up your local sports bar to catch the games, or even having the posse over to check out Sunday Ticket to cheer on your boys, we live in a time where there’s an infinite amount of online choices for the football fan in all of us.

Of course there’s esteemed NFL.com and ESPN.com, where anything you want to know about any team, from stats to scores to game day analysis is just a click away. There’s Justin.tv for the fan that just can’t seem to ever get their favorite team on regular broadcast television. Additionally, there’s a ridiculous amount of team/player/fan sites (OchoCinco’s Twitter page anyone) and fantasy football leagues to further connect with players, dish dirt, smack talk and to fuel the rumor mills.

There’s also some of the funniest commercials and TV segments that you can imagine (and sometimes so bad they’re funny), starring our beloved NFL players. If you haven’t seen these, enjoy. You’re welcome. And get yourself ready for some football already!

The lesson learned here is sometimes the public doesn’t get full access for a reason.

Even Shaq weighed in via Twitter

The video has almost 12 million views on YouTube since July 19th. The wedding party was recently on the Today Show and even Mashable equated Chris Brown’s possible comeback to the popularity of this video.

What makes this video so viral? I guess anything that brings a smile or a laugh is worth passing on to others.

Happy Hump Day!

Evian’s Rollerskating Babies
Babies are the new ‘x-factor’ nowadays when it comes down to creating a lot of buzz. E*Trade has rode baby sensation for quite sometime with their talking superstar and now Evian is hopping on the bandwagon by adding their own twist. From moon walking, to break dancing and now roller-skating, Evian has taken their viral campaign to a whole new level. They’re cute, they’re quirky and they’re hip. Evian has created a winning formula with their Live Young campaign.

This month alone, Evian’s videos have generated millions of views upon its release last month in June. Their YouTube page received many accolades such as: #1 Most Subscribed (This Month) Partners in France and #10 Most Subscribed (All Time) in France. It seems like they aren’t losing any steam either. Over the past few days, Evian has uploaded a few more videos interviewing the new baby superstars, each with their own personality trait. Very humorous I must say.

You certainly cannot go wrong with a campaign featuring babies as long as you do it right.
