This Is Not a Simile for Football




This brought a smile to my face everytime I thought about it today!

It deserves to be repeated:

Damn the Patriots! Damn everyone that won't damn the Patriots! Damn every one that won't put lights in his window and sit up all night damning the Patriots!

I read this article that said that these scientists did this big test where they had two groups of people watch different stuff on TV. One group just watched Football and Football related TV shows for a year, and the other group watched anything BUT Football related shows for a year.

At the end of the study the Football group IQ had gone down an average of 10 points. While the anything but Football group's IQ had stayed the same.

must be why watching football and drinking high life seem to go so well together.

Does that mean that if I watch nothing but football long enough I could get stupid enough not to care about how fucked up the world is? Sounds like an effective NFL ad campaign to me...

I've watched a lot of Mark TV and Mark related TV, and I promise you it's worth it.

I love how your "study" has people "just" watch Football related TV for a year...

Season is only like 20 weeks long bra!

p.s. Saying that you are watching the Super Bowl just for the commercials is like saying you are going to have sex just so you can unwrap a condom.

I agree. This year, I'm not going to watch the Super Bowl at all.

I think saying that you are watching the Super Bowl just for the commercials is like saying you have sex just so you can get off.

Some people think the orgasm is like really good icing on a pretty good cake you'd eat even without the icing. Some people just don't like the icing, I guess.

PS Neither cake nor sex is a simile for American Idol.

Devoted Reader sounds creepy.

and the sex analogy makes no sense, are you saying the commercials are the orgasm to the super bowl's sex? maybe the orgasm is more like the punch line to the commercial. a couple seconds of disappointment after 28 seconds of opium.

p.s. mark - watching tom brady throw that interception improved my quality of life.

p.p.s. mark - if you don't watch the super bowl you have to at least buy (or rent) a chevy silverado and listen to john cougar mellancamp's entire new album.

Brad and Pela -- please stop talking about orgasms.

I am never making a sex analogy again (that is a lie).
