Cards v. Eagles



It is finally here the Big Game! My excitement isn't over the event, but the possibility that the Eagles will hammer the Cardinals and I won't have to listen to the shit anymore. Last night the AZ news was:

Plane floating in the Hudson
Cardinals

The plane was interesting when it happened a couple of days ago, yes it was fantastic that everyone got out of the thing alive, but after the initial report its time to move on. As far as the cardinals, I don't need to see them getting on to their plane, off their plane, arriving at their hotel, or the ticket lines at the muffin dome in Glendale. A good 3/4 of the evening news is now sports. As I generally watch the Fox Network, normally 3/4 of the evening news is a promotion for American Idol, even that has taken a back seat, beyond past winner Jordan Sparks singing the National Anthem at - wait for it - the Big Game.

Everyone was now a die hard Cards fan, well almost everyone. I do wear my Cards hat, but not as a sign of support. While back in WI I wore a Badger's hat for the U of WI game and the Badger's lost; wore a Green Bay Packers hat for the Packers game and the Packers lost. Detecting a trend here I figured if I wore a team's hat it assured their imminent demise, but as with playing the lottery, I was just fooling myself. Despite wear the hat the Cards kept winning, showing the power of steroids over Phos's bad Mojo.

Even more saddening than the crapification of the news is the number of suckers buying tickets to the game and appearing on the news going on about what big fans of the team they are, have been for life, yada, yada, yada... Nothing about the obscene profits the NFL receives, the fact that many of the players make more in a season than most of their fans will see in their lives - all for chasing a ball one day a week. Let's Make a comparison between two entertainers, because when you come down to it that is all the football players are:



Sadly it is almost as expensive these days to go watch Pongo as it is to watch Warner, though personally I find Pongo more entertaining and scalpers won't be selling circus tickets for up to $2500 a piece.

Anyway, Go Eagles!!!

We're in the wrong business. We need to be where the money is.

Show me the money!

/t.: Laughter is he best medicine, but hearing the Cards cry on National TV after they get spanked would make up for two weeks of nothing but football on the news.

foam: Good call. Heard Pongo was looking for an agent, you interested?


L: Just a materiel lamb, eh???

I think da Eagles will win, but I wont be disappointed if they lose.

The Cards need this win to help the franchise survive.

I hate Warner and his scheming wife!

When the dusts steetles the Super Bowl will be won tomorrow, but not in Arizona. The winner of Baltimore and Pittsburg will go on to paste the winner in da NFC.

I don't want the franchise to survive, that's the point.

I will never understand the fanatic no-life fans of Pro Sports teams. No idea who Warner or his scheming wife is and don't want to.

Let's review, shall we?

1) 99% of the players aren't FROM your town.

2) 99% of the players don't LIVE in your town in the off-season.

3) 99% of the player think your a bunch of douche-bags.


If it costs ONE THIN DIME of taxpayer dollars to keep a team in your town, it ain't worth it.

....so, what is the point spread on Pongo, anyway?

Phos, you inadvertently put me onto a quickie mission. I thought to go search out cool cars with lots of wings and stuff, not realizing it was going to end up a kid in a candy store kind'a thing.

Now, I know it says 'silly stuff' but, dang! It was like looking in a mirror and then seeing the mirror point towards the future....

Well, I'm off to buy some oats. You see, we have the Colts to feed around here. Poor things and their multi-million dollar salaries can't seem to get enough of our $

Troll: 4) They a bunch of drug riddle circus animals. It was funny to see the City of Glendale cry the blues when they found out the only ones that made money on they Superbowl held here last year was the NFL.

Boneman: My grandmother had a Chevy with a pretty impressive set of fins on the back. If it didn't weigh in at a metric ton it could probably have gotten some air time coming off hills.
