My "falling out" with televised sports: an evolution or devolution - "Are we not men? We are Devo!"
Since the NFL threatens to sue anyone who uses the name "Superbowl" outside of reporting on it as news, I've decided to give some alternate monikers for people looking to spice up their local events or eatery promotions:
The Big Game
The Recroom Drunkfest
The Prop Bet Gambler's Paradise
The Poolie's Delight
The Game That's Rarely Good
The Media Blitz
The Super Bowel
The Hope-I-Die-Before-The-Who-Plays-The... forget it.
The Vegetative State Extravaganza
The Six Hour Build Up To A Coin Flip
The Excuse to Party
The Not-Good-Enough-Of-A-Reason-To-Bump-The-Simpsons Bowl
The Overpaid Immature Mutant Game
The Stupidbowl
The Not-Yet-Ready-For-Prime-Time Bowl
The I-Waited-Two-Weeks-For-This? Bowl
The CarQuest International House of Pancakes Geico Bowl
The Beer Commercial Bowl
The Oh-Look-There's-Counter-Programming-Figure-Skating-On Bowl
