Chronic - Sorry for the passing of your friend at 48. Way too young...
I'm headed to the northern 'burbs for a typical TV/junk food fenzy. (HEY ! This just occurred to me: Jordan, hopefully you are indoctrinating our NZ transplant in this great American tradition. Plenty of vegetarian indulgences for you too, involving sour cream dips and cream cheese, etc...)
Go Arizona Cardinals. Shock the "experts".

CRBSMILE I love your enthusiasm.
chronic, I am so dense this morning I didn't realize your friend had passed, and such a painful death. I should be pushed into the Pacific today. My condolences.

Let us cheer up now, please.

Damn sad story, Chronic. Best wishes from the east coast.
He wrote about playing football with Baldy (I believe) and others in Ham on Rye. He mentions football now and again in his poems (see War All the Time; the poem right after Horsemeat). There's also another poem about Norm Van Brocklin from the L.A. Rams back in the 50s.
I'd say he liked football more than you'd think.

In that case:
The lyrics are traditional, but coming from The Dead, can be taken secularly, of course.

Peace, bro. To your confederate. To you; to his family. He was my age; same amount of kids... Tears of sadness; tears of joy.
Sounds like a way fucking cool send-off. I'd take it, for sure.
My first commission, years ago, was Jerry. It opened a few doors for me.
Here's a painting I did last year; was part of a pretty cool rock & roll art show (painting was featured on stage) at a big venue, and would dig sending a signed print to your friend's Mrs., if that's not out of line "” and you think she would dig. Dead fan here, too. LMK at your convenience.
This hits close to home on a bunch of levels...

That is the best description of that play that anyone could possibly make. Ponder is a great sports announcer.
It was, although I was rooting for the Arizona Cardinals.
I think he would have enjoyed the game.
The party I went to had a half and half crowd with plenty of good food and cold beer. If the Steelers would have lost 3 hot girls were going to take their shirts off. Suddenly there were mostly Cardinals fans and the intensity of the cheering raised but it was so close.
In Good Fun To Scrib And The Cards...
seems like a scribbler moment? where are his goliath erector-set words? would dig to hear...the black-and-pitt's gold of the moment. steel city; erection. construct, brother, spew your thoughts "” as they are intriguing to horses, lovers, bandits "” and others who visually assault the mindfields here...waiting for interesting words to eclipse the blather of red bird watchers...who lost; and have become victim and pray...

Well I had fun ("too much", says the head).
A good game indeed, but I always knew the worthy team would win. Strong tradition is an undeniable edge. Its an intangible that adrenalines the task at hand. So, all abilities equal, the better performance will come from the individual burdened by the responsibility of high expectations. Upsets are flukes...and the nature of flukes is that they are improbable.
I had countless beers and some jolts of tequila

I hope you all were not worried. I needed a day to recoup. I sustained one jello-shot related injury, but I do not believe that it is a career killer. Did you guys see the burning couches? I love that one guy allowed himself to be filmed while spraying the couch with lighter fluid! He was also filmed being placed into the pattywagon. Yes, Bukowski would have enjoyed the maddness of it all. GKHL-sorry that your party had to go boobless, maybe next year!CRB:)

Hey there were plenty of boobs there.
Steelers only won because the refs ( The other boobs) called an incomplete pass a fumble.

That was bad. Could you imagine all of those retired people in Tucson watching with their friends? LOL!
Who edited out the viagra logo on the bottom of the screen? Heard they paid $3 million for the spot to air...
Funny; read about it; wanted to see what all the hoopla was about. That sounds/looks like a pissed off person getting even with someone (who treated him like a real dick). This may be 2009 expressionistic media art, and have to be moved to another thread...

Worth tracking down.
But at times, it's elusive, like your boy, Big Ben of Steel. Yeah, baby.
Hope you're having a great night.

He deserved the Super Bowl MVP; wrong thread, I know, but damn; he's just not as good looking as Joe Montana, or Broadway Joe. ; (

Stop kissing up. He slopped his way to a win. There was nothing poetic about any of Ruthlessburgers playing.
Winning doesn't require poetic passing, running, or escaping like Houdini. Just getting it done, and a final score (on top), after an amazing drive, led by Ruthlessburger (I like that). Let's say Tom Brady did all the same things, same stats: MVP.

The kid, Santonio Holmes, earned every single bit of that MVP, & won it deservingly. He made every huge reception down the stretch--even the ones that were taken away by penalties. Ben was a distant 2nd in MVP race...3rd if Harrison (w/ the NFL Record 100 INT TD) doesn't make his cheap-shot personal foul the last thing he does in the game. Ben had a good game but the interception opened the door for that crazy finish. No disrespect, but I think they got the MVP right.
^Wow! A bit late to the game, eh? But better late than never....
My point was that if Joe Montana or Bret Favre or Tom Brady or any other, "name" QB did what Big Ben did, they would have been ranting and raving about it, and they would have won the MVP title. Not to diminish what Holmes did; great stuff. But BB doesn't get his accolades, because he doesn't play pretty. He just, well, wins. And I guess rings are good enough. And Holmes, much like the guy who caught the pass for the Giant's last year, what's his name(?), will be a footnote in Steeler's history. But a good one. (Like the guy from the Giants...oops, I'm tautologizing. ;))

Well, Brett Favre doesn't play pretty so either...so that's not necessarily true. I think the MVP went to the best player on the field that game. Fitzgerald would've probably won it if the Cards had won the game...not Warner...despite doing nothing in the 1st half...because the QBs turned in adequate performances. If we're to scream bloody murder about overlooked contributions & players, we need look no further than the defensive side of the ball...players that turn in glorious, unrecongized efforts.
QBs got it too easy as it is...(if anything about being a NFL QB is easy...)

"Easy" is the wrong word. But Its quite true that the qb is not nearly the best athlete on the field...but his role as the initiator and handler of all events makes him by FAR the most important character (unless you've got Walter Payton in the backfiled). The combination of odd skills that a qb must possess certainly put him up there with the best of al athletes. And for us literary geeks...they are the last remnant of a regular-looking human on the football feild...they have anti-heroic qualities.
During the aftermath of the Superbowl some folks got into some Shinanigans(sp?) out here in Pittsburgh PA.
Earlier this week our City Council spent the day debating on a measure that would ban indoor furniture from being used out-of-doors.
I say, if frat-boys want to light a couch on fire, they will be more than willing to pull the fucking thing out of the livingroom.
Yes Gentlemen, let's move on to the next measure. :)

This is the closest thing to a football thread around here recently, so let me just dance a drunken little jig in my underwear at the news of the Bears acquiring QB Jay Cutler from the Broncos. Woo- hooo !!!!:D:D:D
