Bud Adams Stars in a Remake of “The Birds”

Monday, November 23rd, 2009

So last week, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell fined Tennessee Titans owner Kenneth Stanley Adams Jr. – or as Rudy Huxtable would call him, “Buuuuuuuud” – $25,000 for giving the Buffalo Bills and some of their fans the finger during the Titans’ curb-stomping of said Bills. Seriously? In a less than enthralling NFL season in which multiple sub-.500 teams could make the playoffs, this has currently taken pole position as my favorite absurdist comedy story of the fall. Bud Adams knows that the bird is the word. Fuck Chris Andersen; Bud Adams is the real Birdman! Fuck Papa Bear Halas; Bud Adams is Papa Oom Mow Mow!

The Great Dilemma: Being a Fan of a Team You Kinda Hate

Sunday, October 18th, 2009

As much as I hate repeating myself, in the three weeks since I investigated Robert Henson’s wisdom on Washington football fan dissent and castigated Redskins’ owner Dan Snyder’s neglect both of the offensive line and all football wisdom, the situation in DC has, to quote a beloved commercial, blow’d up. The Skins have lost meekly to the winless Fuck Lions and Sex Panthers. Coach Jim Zorn’s job is debated with every passing second and roundly criticized by national, if not local, media. Local legend Sonny Jurgensen, who despite being senile knows a bit about quarterbacking, has repeatedly said that Todd Collins should be on the field instead of Jason Campbell. (Who cares? They both suck). The national media, local media, fans in and outside DC, cornerback Carlos Rogers, Democrats, Republicans, Christians, Jews, Muslims, have all finally united in raining shit on Dan Snyder. Hell, even an actual paid journalist has jumped on the OKC train about the offensive line. It’s a legitimate fucking disaster, the culmination (cue American Pie clip) of ten years of Snyder ineptitude. Needless to say, these are pretty confusing times for those who have been lifelong fans. During a discussion with my DS-remnant brother, it dawned on me that I pretty much hate everything about my team. Not just 10 things I hate about you. More like infinitesimal things I hate about you. Haul out the Ugly Kid Joe! As a fan in this unenviable situation, tell me what the fuck am I supposed to do? Where’s KRS-One when you need him?

We're going down the road towards tiny cities made of ashes. I'm gonna hit you in the face. I'm gonna punch you in your glasses
