The No Kool Aid Zone

The NFL is soooooo contrived and meaningless.

You should follow a real sport played by real people.

Curling comes to mind as something at least as exciting as NFL football.

No time for the Superbowl this year. I’ve got a bucket full of water, and I think watching it evaporate will be more fascinating than just another Steeler football game. Plus, the water bucket will not flash wardrobe malfunctions, hideous halftime “entertainment”, and offensive advertising at me. Just water. Nice and pure.

I’ve got an idea: that water? Why don’t you soak your Tarheel head in it, howboutit?

ya know, as far as banners go, it really is quite pretty..

Great banner! Let’s hear it for fat boys!

Yes. The water was refreshingly cool.
Cleared my mind a bit. Now I can
definitively state that the NFL is
actually less exciting than curling.

This Seattle Times article kind of
brings together a little bit of what
makes the Superbowl so stupid:

What a sad, pathetic little life you must have Wet Tarheel.

Make sure you wear your tinfoil on your head before you enter anything into your computer, and watch out for those men in black with their black helicopters and black SUV’s – they’re coming to get you, you know.

I’d argue about that, but I’m afraid that I would not “Have a Christ-Like Argument.”

Bob, in the words of Clint Eastwood, “a man’s got to know his limitations.”

Words to live by. I’ve written it in the back of my Bible.

I’ve decided to watch the pathetic game after all!

I’ve decided to support the Dallas Cowboys throughout the entire game.

Now, where is that old Dallas T-Shirt? You know, the one showing them winning over the Steelers in Super Bowl XXX? Hmmm…

Warm Tarheel ~ Feb 4, 2006 at 7:31 pm

Yes, that win, a squeaker over a heavy underdog Steeler team, improved the Cowboy Super Bowl record against the Steelers to 1 win, TWO losses.

Byron ~ Feb 4, 2006 at 10:22 pm

Well, I would like to say that after a long season of faithfully rooting for the Steelers, hanging tight with them when things got tough, travelling great distances to support them at away games, and calling local radio programs repeatedly to set the record straight about the black and the gold, I just couldn’t be happier with the way things went tonight.

It was all worth it. Every single minute.

Why?

Because the Steelers did such an excellent job of creating the perfect venue for watching an awesome Rolling Stones concert. Who says you can’t find satisfaction?

Just makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. I’m started up…I’ll never stop now.

How about them Cowboys?

On a more serious note, it was (as usual) a royal pain to have to keep the remote control close at hand so as to mute and/or turn off the TV during the offensive commercials.

NFL football is definately not family friendly.

The Rolling Stones were tame compared to commercial breaks.

And, unless I missed something, I think this year’s game had no salute to the troops overseas.

Guess we are back to business as usual here in Gotham (or should I say Sodom).

Warm Tarheel ~ Feb 5, 2006 at 10:32 pm

ALL I got to say is…Steelers 21, Seahawks 10. Just win, baby…
