I was actually just going to say, “At least they’re not talking about Favre anymore!” And The Manning is basically being ignored, which must be killing him.
I am really, really tired of hearing how great Brady is. But this has been going on for what? 7 seasons now? Aren’t you used to it by now? All Tom Brady discussion/commentary comes down to “sigh Tom Brady. He’s soo dreeeaaaaammmyyyyy.” I swear, everybody in the media and the league is reduced to 12 year old girls, following their first crush around with big, longing eyes.
Tom Brady is still about 15,000 hot, wet hummers behind Brett Favre in the NFL media cocksuckathon. At least he’s actually awesome right now while his knob is being furiously polished by the commentators. It doesn’t really get irritating until the guy’s being Favred… being given repeated blowjobs when he’s no longer especially good and his team is a non-factor.
Everyone though he was over the hill after the last few season. Now at 38, he’s having his best season ever and has led his team to a 10-2 record. And the Packers didn’t have a running game for the first half of the season.
He also set record for most career wins by a QB and most career TD passes.
“…and neither did that receiver, Jason ‘Catch-22’ Smith, catch that. They call him ‘Catch-22’, because that’s what happens when you throw him 100 passes.”
“Well, at least he isn’t into dog fighting. You can rape your coach, choke a hotel employee…”
“Umm, Jim?
“Get off my ass, I’m trying to say something here! Thing is, I can forgive you, as long as someone says that you are really sorry, but you can’t be sorry enough for hurting a puppy…”
“I was just gonna say that he is into dog fights. Steroids, Mexican nun porn, cold reading messages from dead relatives… it’s all been on the news…”
“Fuck. I bet he’s sorry about most of it, anyway… look at that! He doesn’t have to be sorry about that catch! Did you see that?”
“It was a thing of beauty! That might just be our United Way Catch of the Day!”
Well, at least this week these guys weren’t gratuitous enough that I had to turn off the play-by-play more than once.
Although the results pissed me off. :mad:
It was really tempting to get annoyed at John Madden during the Colts game, though, when he pointed out that, in this case, it was good that the Pats won because it just about guaranteed the Colts’ standings in the Division. grumble But he was right, dammit.
The real problem is that in any given football game, there is less than half an hour of actual play in a three-hour telecast. That leaves gobs of empty air to fill, more so if the game is out of hand, as so many Pats games have been this year. Slobbering over Brady (or Manning, or Moss, or Favre) is pretty much the equivalent of talking about the weather – witless, but damned if we don’t all do it. To put it another way, it’s a symptom, not the illness itself.
Football is almost always better with the sound off.
