Episode 98

Quitter, The Death of Beer, and Fried Chicken with The Girls!

Today The Girls are coming to you live from the graduation ceremony of Joe Namath. He finally got his cap and gown - well, at least his mail-order diploma. We understand that he was busy in the height of his career.

Whatever, we’re proud of him and can’t believe he can actually still walk with the way he took a beating in the NFL and all. Good job, Joe! Now go find Suzy and slap a wet one one her.

Down in Atlanta the fans, players and remaining leadership of the Atlanta Falcons have every reason to be down right furious. And not because some Georgians only get 3 hours of water a day. Bobby Petrino exemplifies all that the NFL should not want in a coach. With the example he sets he shouldn’t be allowed to lead a pack of worms. Don’t fall too hard, Razorbacks. You too could be left at the alter for some younger and richer bride.

Arthur Blank simply cannot catch a break. So Michael Vick sits in prison, and Arthur Blank gets criticized for saying that Vick could lose his cut body if he partakes in “fried chicken and fries”. Falcons P.R. Department is forced to release a statement saying it was not a racist comment. Um, last we checked everyone but supermodels ate fried chicken. Even Britney. At the end of the day it’s a shame for everyone involved. EXCEPT Bobby Petrino.

Oh, by the way, the Mitchell Report is coming out. Getcha popcorn! At least revel in the fact that it is objective. Oh, wait, it isn’t. Use it for scrap then.

“I promise to report on the whole truth of this matter because I am objective and there is no conflict of interest for me as it relates to my close friendship with Bud Selig and my senior-level (try Director) position with the Boston Red Sox.”

The Girls bow at the man - the Sports Illustrated Man of the Year, that is. Mr. Brett Favre. We’ve done a 180 on Brett since all that silly retirement stuff last year. He deserves this award, and he alone deserves to beat the Patriots in the Super Bowl this year. (All marketers’ heads will explode if this happens.) Speaking of the Patriots, ManGenius is coming to tango. Will they or won’t they? The fried chicken protesters have moved on after accepting Mr. Blank’s apology to protest the stinginess of the Mangini-Belichick embrace. There should be free hugs and fried chicken for all.

Our Rookie Look this week puts David Harris, Linebacker for the Jets and November’s Rookie of the Month, in the King’s chair as we marvel at his ability to sidestep even rookie hazing. Remarkable. And the Fan-Tutor attempts to lift the veil on challenging
calls in the NFL. We’ve left breadcrumbs so you can find us as we lead you down this forked trail. Get this - fighting is back in the NHL and a rule designed to stop fighting is the culprit. And now we find that coaches may be ordering hits. It’s madness. We’re so freaking happy.

The Beer of the Week is dead. Blame the hives. And in this week’s IT HAS TO BE SAID we voice our concern that campaigning might be more than a part-time gig. If
so, who’s running the country? So grab some fried chicken, steer clear of
Bobby Petrino and kick it - it’s time to talk sports with The Girls!
