AAARRRGHHHH! My NFL Rant!
Edited on Sat Nov-20-04 11:30 PM by Crisco
So I'm doing my nightly yoga practice with HBO watching me. Bob Costas - one best interviewers around, btw - has a bunch of NFL types on, including Marino.

All were lambasting the league, the Eagles, and ABC for the Desperate Housewives skit. Quoted from a letter written by Rooney: "we can't let the league stoop to this level."

Excuse me. You fuckers are going out of your way to move out of your old stadiums into shiney new ones, soak taxpayers for the bill and sell stadium naming rights as if Pepsi Cola is our fucking civic heritage.

You sanctimonious shits don't seem to mind commercials that feature bikini-clad women playing volleyball in the ice and snow and being forced to go into freezing cold water.

You scurrilous scum don't mind seeing commercials where a horse-fart causes god-knows-what to explode in a woman's face.

Your players pump themselves up on god knows what steroidal shit and go into an arena risking life-altering bodily damage for a few million bucks a year, in costumes where space is again sold to anyone who will pay the fee, and pimp their fame to pitch everything from tires to tie clips.

If Sheridan had a Budweiser logo tatooed on her back, these over-compensating freaks would have applauded it all the way to the bank.

And you're worried about the NFL stooping to what level?
