Not the home state Tennessee Titans, Not the regional Atlanta Falcons or Cincinnati Bengals, Not even national darlings like the Cowboys, Patriots or heaven forbid the Packers (now Jets). You see, supporting your “home” team or a powerhouse franchise is the easy way out. Any fool can jump on the local bandwagon or flock to dynasty teams and get away with being a fan. It takes BALLS to pick the worst franchise in sports history and claim them as your team as I did 1 year ago. So far it has gone according to plan: no expectations = no disappointments. The Bird went 8-8 last season, a respectable record for a shitty team, and should have had at least 2 more wins (Redskins, Seahawks). That would have gotten them in the playoffs but alas, woulda coulda shoulda.
On to tonight’s checklist:
- Plenty of beer (IPA)
- Backup booze (vodka, vino)
- Huge-ass HDTV and remote control
- Measty couch for my lazy ass
Check, check, check and check. Yep I’m ready.
Oh, look at me, my Bidwell owned franchise has a moment of relevancy. How long before you consign The Dreaded Bird to the ashheap of the Rams and Steelers...you know, the other teams you to which once claimed fealty?
ReplyDeleteAnd you have wine? Fucker, you've been hiding that.
Too bad Buddy Ryan still isn't there. He could draft more d-linemen than the draft even had available
ReplyDeleteFirst, those other teams were from my childhood. Second, it's white wine, thus backup booze. Third, fuck the Houston Oilers a.k.a. TN Titans.
ReplyDeleteYeah, fuck the flaming thumbtacks. Perhaps Jeremy Shockey will get drunk tonight.
ReplyDeleteWow, solid performance last night from the redbird
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, they have a long way to go, especially on defense. UT alum Robert Meachem had a great showing - for the Saints. But it was good to watch the game with a surprise bottle of Knob Creek.
