A Monday Night Confederacy of Special Teams TDs
That was about as bad a Monday night game decided by three points as you can get (at least since the one last week). If blocked field goals, turnovers and punt returns are your thing, then it was the game of the year. For the rest of us, swing passes are Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist gay. And between Martin Gramatica and Ed Hochuli, it’s hard to find a singular goat for this game.
At least if the play generally sucked, some good wood was being laid. After the Frerotte hit, T-Jack had to make a brief appearance, but was whisked away soon enough for Gus to come back to toss the winning score.
Thanks to ESPN for the sideline shot of Jeremy Shockey every other play. His heavy-lidded disinterest really reflected what was going on on the field.
Very au courant, but the classic clown is always more frightening than the gothic Joker clown.
See? That’s fucking chilling.
Never fear, Nawlins fans, so long as luchador Saints fan is around to ward off everything but turnovers.

Dude stole my gold pants.

it’s the saints-logo-prison-tattoos on the 2nd clowns face that really pump up the nightmare fuel for me.

Guy In Frilly Gold Shirt: Reggie Bush on line 2 for you, Luchador Saints Fan.
Luchador Saints Fan: You mean “dos”?
Guy In Frilly Gold Shirt: Si, senor, si. En telefono de dos.
Luchador Saints Fan: HOTDAMN ! ! !

October 7th, 2008 at 1:56 am
What’s that Suze? You want me to kiss you?
October 7th, 2008 at 2:25 am
motherhood seems to agree with suzy, and she definitely agrees with my manhood.
October 7th, 2008 at 2:27 am
oh yeah, and the balance of the saints’ year is gonna be the football equivalent of mongolian afterbirth.

SO the Minnesota defence decides to turn it on when I DON’T get Fantasy Football points…. awesome….
October 7th, 2008 at 6:52 am
All I can say is that I got totally fucked this week in fantasy. I didn’t have the 1st fucker even hit double digit scoring. Thanks Purple Jesus for making me think I actually had some kind of a shot at pulling off a miracle and then totally placing all three of my testicles, individually mind you, on a cutting board and chopping them up with a plastic knife used to cut play-doh.
/avoiding driving over bridges today to prevent the urge to jump from taking over

Holy Texan dogshit that’s Hard Gay. He’s in some totally fruity gold ensemble but that is Hard Gay.

I wrote this at 8:51pm last night on the MNF blogkkake, “Anyone else get the feeling Gramatica will somehow fuck this game up for N.O.? ”
I’m like a prophet. Also, Antoine Winfield was pretty measty last night. I believe Drew will make it happen this week.
October 7th, 2008 at 8:30 am
I was down 20 points yesterday in my fantasy league, and had Drew Brees, Robert Meachem, and Purple Jesus playing. My opponent had Ryan Longwell.
I lost by 10 points.
FUCK.

I played the Buffalo D/ST (-4 pts) instead of the Vikes D/ST (18 pts). They’ll be revoking my fantasy license today.
October 7th, 2008 at 8:57 am
So what time did Drew burn his Purple Jesus jersey last night?
October 7th, 2008 at 9:14 am
Who is Robert Meachem?
October 7th, 2008 at 9:22 am
Yeah, new Suzy haircut makes her look sexier than KSK Suzy haircut.

Like I said in chat last night…..I was unaware that the Insane Clown Posse Fan Club was having its annual convention in New Orleans this week.
October 7th, 2008 at 9:44 am
What sucks for Vikes fans is Antoine Winfield is being arrested on charges of Strong Armed Robbery today.
October 7th, 2008 at 9:49 am
I think I finally calmed down after last night’s blogkakke and game….
1. Ed Hochuli should never referee another game. Apparently “fumbles” are an issue for him. That’s ok, Ed. There’s a long line of work for Hulk Impersonators for birthday parties, bat mizvahs and Drew’s bestiality shows.
2. Cut the damn Keebler elf today! Not tomorrow…not after breakfast…NOW! That’s 2 games he could have won that he didn’t. All that’s asked of a kicker is that he make the one that counts. He can’t? GTFO!
3. The Vikings ain’t that good. Hell, the only reason they won’t be bottom of that division is because the Lions live there (they’re getting appraisals done for redecorating the basement). It’s Adrian Peterson and a solid run defense. And Peterson can’t run if Childress keeps putting the ball in the hands of Gus Frerotte or Tarvaris Jackson.
4. You cough up the ball 4 times and spot the other team 17 points, you shouldn’t expect to win the game. That it came down to FGs in the end is a sign….of what I’m not sure. I’ll let you know once the rage subsides.
October 7th, 2008 at 9:50 am
Drew must have rubbed himself raw after that win last night. And PJ getting 3 points nearly fucked me over last night. Great job actually playing defense last night N.O., now I’m sure you’ll go back to sucking the rest of the season. Rat bastards.
Oh and I believe Reggie Bush is kinda fast?
October 7th, 2008 at 9:52 am
I’m still convinced that second clown is really Ape
October 7th, 2008 at 9:52 am
I apparently like saying last night…
/proofread comments next time

Suzy picture telling me to kill…. must resist urge… eyes boring into my soul…
(door flies open)
HI SUZY. GOTS OWIE IN MY KNEE.

New Orleans is a den of sin and inequities. It offends God that they would name their team the Saints. Katrina was a warning; keep up the perverse behavior and the whole city will be consigned to flame.
October 7th, 2008 at 10:00 am
MNF should have located the “Fuck da Eagles” girl… she’d at least have made the crowd shots interesting.
October 7th, 2008 at 10:12 am
@ Monkey Business: I was up by two points over an opponent with just Ryan Longwell left to play. I lost by 12.
The other guy also started two players who were on byes.
I win at losing.
October 7th, 2008 at 10:43 am
@UU, predicting Gramatica will blow the game for them is like predicting the Lions won’t win the division
October 7th, 2008 at 10:48 am
@Upstate: do you have that sports almanac that Bif had in Back to the Future II or something? If so, can I borrow it for a week or two? Pretty please.
October 7th, 2008 at 11:49 am
Ed Hochuli needs to take a long walk in a bad neighborhood.
October 7th, 2008 at 12:02 pm
I don’t know if that would work. Even if they shot at him the bullets might bounce off those chiseled muscles of his or better yet he might show his guns off and scare everyone away.
October 7th, 2008 at 1:16 pm
The clown in that second picture says women call him “Stretch Nuts”.
October 7th, 2008 at 1:52 pm
A gay brothel in Buenos Aires is missing its fluffer.
October 7th, 2008 at 1:53 pm
You know who I feel bad for? Drew’s wife. She’s going to have to put up with his raging hard on all week.
October 7th, 2008 at 4:57 pm
umm, Keebler elf? the fuck you talking about…? Marvin the Martian maybe, but not Keebler elf.
October 7th, 2008 at 5:54 pm
why does hochuli still have a job?
