By Styles Cradgerock, ATLANTA – Football. More than just passing a ball around. But is it, really? Nonetheless a whole lotta people love this great American pastime.com. Yet more and more, more of them (the lovers) are calling for football to fail.
But why, guy?
“Gaffes- give us more gaffes,” grinned sheepish Joe Thamblehorn, Thursday. “I love football, but I love seeing and hearing ESPN gaffes even more!” he ejaculated.
What kinda gaffes we talkin’ ’bout?
“Well, like the other day, me and my buddy Carl were down the pub watching the game? And like then on the TV they go and cut to like an aerial shot of like France instead of like a aerial shot of like Jacksonville, Florida, which is like where said game was taking place?”
And…this kinda gaffe made you all hot and bothered?
“It ruffled my feathers.”
And that’s a good thing?
“It involved me not only as a viewer, but as a person – in that it reactivated my critical thinking abilities.”
Unexpected! Whut other kinda gaffes you be liking?
“Oh, I dunno. I’ma be liking how about when one guy falls down or one o the commentaters says something racist?”
That’s pretty general, but I guess it’s what we’re left with.
“Sure-sure. Take what you can get, right?”
Well…no use staring into the horses’s mouth.
Am I right?
pardon me if i’m a little non-plussed. “me and my buddy Carl were down the pub watching the game”?
we don’t have “pubs” in america. plus, aren’t you writing this…from japan?!?
i think you’ve confused gaffes with bloopers. so, i feel sorry for you.
thank god there was no discussion of the difference between “football” and “soccer” in this article! i’ve been waiting for someone to write like that and then I’ll just pounce on them.
