Announcing the Winner
The top haiku from a few weeks ago:
Brady is shady
He impregnates ornately
His seeds are misdeeds
First-runner up (in the instance that the winner is no longer able to serve in their position):
Haikus are easy
But sometimes they don't make sense
Refrigerator
Props to Liam & Jeff for their genius-osity!
Campbell’s Game Looks…Soupy
What was the score? 52-7? 107-26? The Redskins never showed up in Foxborough. Even the crappy Dolphins got 28 against the Pats. We all hope that this game is a “learning experience” for young buck Jason Campbell.
As for you, Mr. Belichik (and Mr. Brady for that matter), did you really have to run up the score like that? You were up 38-0 at the end of the third quarter! Really, that’s like 5 extra “eff you” TD’s than necessary. Unsportsmanlike conduct, gentleman!
Mmm…Not So Good
After a close victory against Eric the Man-not-so-Genius and his New York Jets, the Redskins lose a nailbiter at home to the emotionally downtrodden Philadelphia Eagles, 33-25. Bad play calling on the sidelines lost this one for the ‘Skins. A two-point conversion in the FIRST HALF?! So what if the kicker Suisham missed his opening extra point? Statistically you’re better off kicking the extra point. Two-point conversions are exactly that – you must convert. And if you don’t, well, now you’re one loss away from being at .500.
In other football news, Mr. MNF – Brett Favre – threw a 82-yard touchdown on the very first play in OT to beat the Broncos, who tied the game in what has to be the fastest field goal set-up and kick in history (hey, Pat Ramsey, turns out you’re actually good for something!) Favre and company continued their success in a 34-0 rout of the Minnesota Vikings. Bad week for those in Fantasy that started Adrian Peterson (Fenella sheds more tears…)
Football does not equal FOOTBALL
How did Jason Taylor get his own “statue”? In the mud-fest that was the Giants/Dolphins game, Eli and company beat Miami in London 13-10. Twenty years removed from their perfect season, could the Dolphins do the opposite and finish a winless 0-16?
If the NFL continues to have games in Europe, they should go back to London and have the Pittsburgh Steelers play against the Washington Redskins. Just think of all the Big Ben-Big Ben and London-London Fletcher jokes!
Who Cares
We hate the Giants. And the Cowboys. Why would we give THEM an update?!
The Real Super Bowl
New England versus Indianapolis. All the calls went the Colts’ way, and the Pats still squeaked past them with a 24-20 victory. Now if Tom Brady could just tackle that haircut…The bye week should give him plenty of time.
As for Indy, they couldn’t recover against the Chargers, as Peyton played possibly the worst game of his career, throwing six interceptions and Adam Vinatieri, Mr Clutch I Can Kick a 40-Yard Winning Field Goal With No Time Remaining in a Blizzard, missed 2 field goals, including the potential winner. D’oh!
We’re Sick with the Fever!
We got the fever….Red Sox fever! The BoSox completed their sweep of the Colorado Rockies newbies. Really, could it have ended any other way? The Rockies looked rusty and nervous after their 8-day break and couldn’t recover, while the Sox kept their winning momentum going…and going…and going. They’re poised to become a dynasty, like the Yankees, except we don’t hate them as much. And Theo Epstein is a WAY hotter GM than Brian Cashman. Just a warning to Boston sports fans…don’t get TOO spoiled!
Now We’re Just…Sick
On the night of the Red Sox’s victory, Alex Rodriguez and his agent Scott Boras announced that A-Rod would opt-out of his gazillion dollar contract to play somewhere else. We hope A-Rod gets a zit on that annoyingly pretty face of his. Could he possibly follow former manager Joe Torre to La La Land?
The Unpredictable Wonder that is the BCS
College Football. Fenella doesn’t want to talk about it. Except maybe those 15 laterals to score the winning touchdown with no time remaining by Division III college Trinity. That crazy play could possibly have surpassed the Cal/Stanford play…minus the bands on the field.
And speaking of Division III, College Gameday visited…Williams College in Massachusetts? Um…go purple cows? We support ESPN’s effort to diversify the locales they visit on crisp Fall Saturdays, it’s just that Williams and their opponent Amherst College have enrollments that make the colleges smaller than the HIGH SCHOOL we went to.
