Because we wouldn't be a sports blog without a few NFL thoughts
by Anonymous at 9:53 AM
- Wait, we're a sports blog?
- Pointed out by hotfootblog, Eddie Murphy may have been a prophet in 'Coming to America'. Oh sir, the Giants of New York took on the Packers of Green Bay. And in the end, the Giants triumphed by kicking an oblong ball made of pigskin through a big "H". It was a most ripping victory. Weird.
- Quote from me after that Lawrence Tynes guy kicked the winning field goal after missing his previous two: "Great, now we're gonna have to put up with all those newspaper headlines tomorrow that say 'third Tynes a charm'".
- Tom Coughlin looked like his face was about to fall off.
- The Dodgers have reached a 1-year deal with relief pitcher Proctor. Hightower had no comment.
- Hey that was baseball.
- There's something great about being able to watch a football player's runny nose in HD. Wait did I say great? I mean completely horrible.
- I cannot make sense of that Subway commercial where the guy gets called into his boss's office to explain his travel expenses. I don't have any receipts, but let me turn around and show you my big ass. Yeah I don't get it. Worst. Commercial. Ever.
- Remember last year when I changed my mind and said that I'd rather have my team not make the Super Bowl than lose in the Super Bowl? I've changed my mind again. Having no rooting interest in the Super Bowl whatsoever is kind of like being a date to a wedding where you don't know anybody. Oh well. Go Giants I guess.
The Subway commercial is totally racist, too. A black guy sees a big ass (regardless of sex) and says, "Hoochie mama"???
It may have also been a reference back to an old Seinfeld quote. Which normally would be okay by me, except it wasn't a particularly good Seinfeld quote, nor did it fit the circumstances (I don't think). Just a horrible commercial all the way around.
