OK, let's go ahead and get this one outta the way so we can get on with some stuff that really matters.
Have you ever seen one of these at a stoplight? |
What a way to start the 2013 football season. We're bein' treated to front row seats to watch our whole damn society go down the proverbial shitter in the person of one Johnny Manziel, football whiz kid from Texas A & M. He's just like every other smart aleck 20 year old punk with some talent and a little luck. I figger he's one of those guys who wears his ball cap sideways with a big ol' chrome sticker still stuck to the bill, his pants so far down his back side you can identify the brand of his unmentionables, and the JBL woofers in his Mercedes cranked up so damn loud you can't hear yourself think... and your sittin' in a car across the street with the windows up!
Careful Johnny, this could be you. |
You're no Dan Marino, pal! |
And what makes you think your God's gift to the human race after receivin' the Heisman Trophy anyway? Hell, that's usually the kiss of death for a marginally talented college player like yourself who has one year where the stars line up and your shittin' gold bricks without knowin' how it's happenin'. Do the names Troy Smith (Ohio State 2006), Jason White (Oklahoma 2003), Eric Crouch (Nebraska 2001), and...I could go on but you're probably gettin' the gist by now... mean anything to you??? Yeah, me neither. You're gonna be one of'em!
Who are these guys?
I know when Johnny reads this, as I'm sure he will, the hair on the back of his neck'll stand at attention and something like, "pffhsssht" will reflexively come out of that overworked pie hole as he's thinkin' about the guy who wrote this crap not havin' any idea what it's like to be Johnny "Football". I'll give'em that. I don't know and will never know what it's like being Johnny. Nor do I want to know how miserable it must be to have an ego the size of Alaska after one incredible season. I'm sure one day Johnny's gonna know more of what it's like to be one of us mortals and it's gonna happen way sooner than he'd like. Probably midway through the 3rd quarter of this year's Alabama game!
This could be you too, Mr. Football! |
Awesome Mr. Poole:
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you're planning on providing your insightful breathe of fresh air again......keep it up this year and don;t punt after week 1 again....we need you!!! :)o
No punts, no fair catches. Glad you enjoy the tripe!
DeleteGreat blog #32! Thanks to Chuck posting this on Facebook I got to read it. I agree with you totally, and hope Johnny Football gets his clock cleaned plenty of times this season, if he doesn't do something to get himself suspended before then. Hope you are doing well. Long time no see! Rob Patton

DeleteThanks Ray! Generation ME is ruining our whole damn country. I hope I'm still living to take part in the revolution. The one where all the "Takers" get their clocks cleaned!
