Equals this hair
Lexervations after most of week #1 in the NFL:
It is official, Tampa Bay is a full-blown Shanghai Shit Show
(copyright pending) If I was a Tampa fan, I would be feeling a little crabby
about Jameis Winston. (See what I did there?) Who could have seen this coming?
Oh right, everybody. (Cough: Ryan Leaf)
Tony Romo has been a victim of the press’ happy horse pucky for
too long. Choker my ass. Believe me, I hate those obnoxious Cowboy fans and
Jerry Jones. But none of the three interceptions were Romo’s fault. That
comeback was all his doing. Well, his and Eli Manning. What the hell, Eli? How
hard is it to run out a clock?
You don’t think NFL rich prima donnas are tough? Dez Bryant
played, and then tried to play some more, on a broken foot. A broken foot.
At one point during the San Diego Chargers game I thought
Phillip Rivers deserves to win this game, but the rest of his teammates didn’t
except for Eric Weddle. And maybe Danny Woodhead.
One team and one team only will survive a move to Los Angeles
and it is the Rams. If two teams move, the second team, the Chargers or the
Raiders, will have to move back with their tail and far-less-money between
their legs.
The NFL needs more guys like Rex Ryan.
In all the games I saw, mostly the Chargers and the
Giants/Cowboys, the referees were pretty damn good. There was one truly blown
interference call against the Giants. It turned out to be the game changer.
This isn’t an NFL thing, but seriously, anal tattoos? What the
hell?
Seattle Seahawks Kam Chancellor’s holding-out-advising-agent
looks like a genius.
New York Giant, Odell Beckham Jr., is a bonafide
superstar/freak.
At one point during a game, I think there were four Manning
commercials in a row. Is it just me, or does Eli Manning look like the guy who
works at your gym who is so pleasant and easy-going, you thought he was
mentally challenged?
“Hello . . . there . . . Eli . . . How. . . are . . . you?”
How is this for a special comeback episode of “Curb Your
Enthusiasm”?
Larry David is at the fancy LA gym and brags to Jeff in the
locker room about how much “special” people like him. He claims he has a bond
with “special” people because they can tell, like dogs, if someone is a good
person.
Jeff asks,
“Are you comparing special people to dogs?”
Offended, Larry says;
“No, but there are similarities. They both love me. Maybe it’s
the bald thing. They know I am sweet, so the mentally challenged and dogs love
the hell out of me. ”
As if to prove his point, a young man with a wool hat pulled low
riding a bike with a basket in front pulls up to the gym. To be candid, he
looks pretty mentally challenged.
It is Eli Manning.
Eli is a client of Jeff and is in town to film a commercial, so
he is a guest at the gym. Larry has no idea he is The Eli Manning. Jeff
realizes this and does not set Larry straight on purpose. Larry walks up and to
prove his point about loving the mentally challenged and vice versa, he hugs
Eli.
“What’s your name young fella?”
“Eli,” says a confused Manning.
“I bet your parents are proud of you,” says a patronizing Larry.
The genuinely confused Eli goes into the gym. Jeff is secretly laughing his ass
off.
The gym than offers an NFL Combine fitness test. It has a
40-yard-dash. An obstacle course, pass catching, jump roping. But it also
features an online Wonderlic test, a ten-question version of the 50-question IQ
test NFL players take. But just as hard.
Larry challenges Eli to the test. (Again, Larry has no idea he
is The Eli Manning) Eli smokes him in every test. Then they go into separate
room to take the Wonderlic test. Larry David somehow botches the online test
and only answers three questions and it logs him off. He loses his mind in
classic Larry fashion.
The next day, they post everybody’s NFL Combine and Wonderlic scores
and they all treat Larry like he is severely mentally challenged.
Larry only scored a four. Eli had a 45.
Larry is visibly getting upset about people treating him like he
is mentally challenged.
“I’m not mentally challenged. In fact, mentally challenged
people worship me like a god.”
Just then the most adorable and sweet mentally-challenged girl
comes into the gym with her Labrador handicap-helper dog. Larry rushes up to
her to give her a hug. She says, in her sweet voice:
“F*ck off, you bald assh*le.”
And then the dog bites Larry in the ass.
(And scene)
