Luckily for the cash-strapped NFL they're gearing the SuperBowl towards women this year, otherwise nobody would watch it.
The guy at this hotel has no business putting together a plate of warm chocolate chip cookies for the guests with a hand that is small, mangled, and has 1.5 fingers. I now have a cookie sitting on the table that he probably touched with his clawhand and its making me physically sick thinking about it. What does he do with that hand? Where does he put it? It's like God gave him a staple remover instead of a functional appendage. I feel bad. The guy is so genuinely nice and remembered my name when I saw him. Basically this guy:
Can you give me hand? I went to a reception years ago with one of my former business partners. There were several "dignitaries" in a receiving line that we were supposed to briefly shake hands with and move along. As those things go, there's a linger here or there, you get bunched up, somebody in line recognizes another or talks longer. Right as we're getting there, my partner doesn't realize that one of the dignitaries has a stump just past the elbow on his right hand. He would just do a sort of rolled over backhand with his left to shake hands. Something I'm sure he was used to doing all the time. Except in the bunch up, my partner doesn't realize that stumpy's shaking hand is tied up shaking the previous guy's hand. And my partner just reaches for the stump, realizes it too late, and instead of pulling back, he just grabs the stump and shakes. I was next in line, and it was a hilarious moment of awkward and stifling a laugh. Good times.
Re: Can you give me hand? I once, trying to be polite, asked a guy how his recent knee surgery went. He replied, "...uhhh... leg surgery? Yeah, it went fine". His knee, as I should have known, had been forcibly amputated by the Taliban. Hawkward.
NBC is really working on getting the non-Superbowl fan involved this year, more so than usual it seems. They've brought in Johnny Weir and Tara Lipinski as their pregame hosts. Weeeeeeeee. http://nypost.com/2015/01/22/johnny-wei ... l-pregame/
The Superbowl has an issue with this years teams. Unless you are from the Northwest or New England, neither team is exceptionally likable or interesting. We get New England's thing, they've been the bad guys for a while. Seattle is becoming annoying in a way. With those teams having limited appeal, someone like me may vicariously watch the game, but I doubt this Superbowl will have the appeal of some of its predecessors. Now when my Lions make the Superbowl, no one will watch, and I dam well may be 80, but it will be interesting
Yeah, can't say I'm all that invested in the game. I'll probably work on other shit around the house with it on in the background, but don't see myself glued to the TV or anything. And nothing I hate more about the game than the pregame. It's like its had 2 weeks of pregame... just get to playing already.
It sounds more like they're getting ACTUAL football fans to NOT watch. They certainly get an A for effort, recruiting wildly obnoxious fuckheads from a polar opposite sport for the pregame is a great start. Last year they fucked over the fans attending the game. Now they're just fucking over every fan, period.
Lynch looks to be thoroughly enjoying every part of that too. He's just fucking with the media and the NFL at this point. And by fucking with them, I mean he's grabbing his crotch and fucking with them.
Yes. There are really some top-notch players this year. I like Chiklet. Spoiler And Lewis. But mostly because his name is Lewis. Spoiler (Whoops, those pictures are gigantic.)
They were gonna fine him $500K. 500 THOUSAND FUCKING DOLLARS. Thats outrageous, the NFL is such a joke.
