Finally saw the commercial of Peyton Manning in a wig and mustache pretending to be his own fan. Can’t imagine anything more embarrasing than being on national tv pretending to be gay for yourself.
(But, seriously how hilarious was the towel snapping commercial from Southwest Airlines?)

And the Steelers just kicked it away. I have a feeling we’ll be seeing a lot of this tonight. I wonder what it feels like to be a back up quarterback in the NFL? Unless you’re Doug Flutie it probably feels a lot like waking up to a cold bowl of soggy suck cereal. I wonder if Flutie is playing this year?

Flutie retired in May.

You can’t block Joey Porter with a back. If you block Joey Porter with a back he’ll sack your quarterback…
Is John Madden channelling Doctor Seuss?
Block Him With A Back
He’ll Sack Your Quarterback
In a box with a fox…

Charlie Batch passes for his first first down.
And Madden is babbling something incomprehensible about bubble bubble double bubble. Is he taking kick backs from chewing gum manufacturers?

Option to Willie Parker for conversion on 4 and 1! Suddenly its 2000 and Ron Whaley is kicking my ass in College Football for playstation 2 again and again with Florida State and that mother-effing option. I’ll forever hope that Ronnie rots in hell for being such a smug bastard about it.

Touch Down! Charlie Batch for president! I’m really regretting that “cold bowl of suck” comment. Ok. Not really.
(Brad just IMed me to say that Culpepper looks like a QB who hasn’t played since mid-season last year. I think he just looks like a QB that is daydreaming about a sex boat. Mmmm… Sex boat….)

Lasagna Pizza! That’s genius! I’m going to get one right now…. Jjust kidding. it actually sounds possibly even more foul than that cheese ring of vomit that they market… who buys this crap? Seriously?
Oh, and the kicker tackles the run back! I love when that happens. Nothing better than seeing the kicker have to get in there and get his hands dirty.
I wonder if NFL training camps have a special session for kickers just for the one time a year they’ll have to stop a runner?

Ok. I’m out of funny. I’m going to bed. I don’t really care who wins anyways. I’ve got my own sex boat appointment.
