Somebody put a stopwatch on this young upstart.
Snyder likes the cut of his jib.

I learned something today. Namely, that in 1958, NFL broadcasts were sponsored by Marlboro and America was an awesome place to be. Just watching this old commercial makes me want to drive a Packard, drink scotch and listen to be-bop on the Hi-Fi.

Pay special attention to the cartoon mascots of the era:

• The Redskins mascot: probably the most racist thing in the history of Western Civilization. If D.W. Griffith had been alive when this thing was made, he would have said “are you sure we can’t tone this down a scoch?”
• The Packers proxy is a cleaver wielding maniac. How did Marlboro anticipate Jeffrey Dahmer’s reign of terror in Wisconsin?
• True story: the Cleveland Browns mascot is played by a young Dennis Kucinich.
• As this commercial was made during the twentieth century, there is no reference to a Boston pro football franchise.

Words to live by: “the better the makins, the better the smoke.” Who knew the Maj was cribbing wisdom from Chris Schenkel?

The historic staff meeting this past weekend marked the first time ever that all six of the KSK contributers were in the same room. And that room was in the Charles E. Beatley, Jr. Central Library in Alexandria, VA.

We felt that the ambiance of the occasion, the awkwardness of our first live interactions, and the content of our discussions warranted documentation, and what better opportunity to share some footage of that get-together than right here, after the official end of another NFL season.

The NFL’s finest have gathered in Honolulu for the annual showdown betwee — Wait… should we prattle on about a game that no one gives a rats ass about anyway, or should we continue to revel in the misery of Pats fans?

Yeah, I thought so too. Let’s hear from Fitzy….

This may end up being the best off season ever. Cheers!

Wow. How does Manning get loose? How the hell does Tyree catch the ball with his freaking helmet? Holy shit, what a game.

Without a doubt, this is the finest spoof of a Brett Favre commercial featuring pasty-white man ass that we have ever featured on KSK. Enjoy.

Our own Maj was a co-host of this week’s Blog Show with Jamie Mottram. And I really have only one thing to say about his appearance.

YOU MEAN HE’S NOT BLACK?!!!!?!?!?!

Well, that is a fucking tragedy. Like most of you, I had a certain vision of what our Maj would look like. I thought he was a big burly black man who became a centaur by night. I also hoped he’d be taller. And that he wouldn’t sound like a Time/Life operator.

Say what you will about those Lazy Tuesday goofs, but at least they didn’t work too hard at looking ridicuwockle. These guys, on the other hand, seem to gone through Herculean efforts to look achingly dopey. I hope these dancers got paid. Not in money of course, but an ice cream sandwich sounds about right.

Big ups to Lt. Winslow

Welcome to the second half of your Cowboy Hater Twin Cinema Matinée. You’d think between the owner, coach and quarterback someone would have realized that this commercial might come back to bite them on the ass someday.

Notice they don’t have Jason Garrett pitching this swill. That’s ’cause he’s finalizing plans to be sipping Cristal out of Wade’s hollowed out skull this time next year.
