My Visage Is Crimsoned With The Downtrodding Of These Footballers
Not since the potato famine laid waste to my kith and kin have I espied the devastation similar to that seen on the greensward when my San Francisco Footballing Fourty-niners do battle in contests of footballing.
Perchance it was an affliction of the vainglory, but my prior-season cogitations were of a more auspicious nature than what has come to pass. Few times have my haymakers met their target square. I fear now we even lack the wherewithal to best the Seafaring-hawks in six days’ time.
Yesterday’s debacle against the New Amsterdam Giants served notice that the Fourty-niners are the same squadron of failabouts with or without the contributions of J.T. O’Sullivan. This epiphany gave way to much vexing. On four occasions did I commit fumblications and on two others had aerial exchanges countercepted by opposing footballers. The great quarteredbacking menace Justin Tuck reminds me of the terrors of darkest Africa.
The dolors cannot own us. We are in but Round 8 of a 16 Round scrape. I’ve yet to even festoon the barbed-wire on this bare knuckles. You will see how easy it is then to block the haymakers!
Ho!

Don’t fret JT. You play the Seahawks next week!

I will find a way to use the word “fumblications” into every conversation I ever have a football from now until the end of time.

Man, Brad Childress sure was a strapping lad in that picture. It’s a shame that time has turned him into Professor Plum.

One more atrocious performance and Mike Nolan gets shown the pink slip . . . only for Mike Martz to give everyone the pink sock by going back to his zero running game offensive package and plunging the franchise into a deeper hole of despair no Dr. James Andrews could fix or “misdiagnose”.

Wow, this is just brilliant. The funniest thing I have read in weeks.

Even with that moustache, the picture is still less gay than Jeff Garcia.

Can’t wait till this guy meets up with Tony Dice Sparano’s team in Week 15 for the ultimate Catholic immigrant showdown.

Justin Tuck reminds me of the terrors of darkest Africa.
I call shenanigans. Tuck played for the Fighting Irish, so this version of O’Sullivan would never be a hater.

To next week’s opponent, I will deliver a blow to the mouth area, the blood from which will issue most copiously!

I remember when JT went toe-to-toe with an Eskimo gentleman for 75 rounds. Of course we all demanded our nickels back.

So why does the Irish guy speak in English idiom? An Irishman would never say “vainglory.”
