Our very own Christmas Ape screencapped the finest image of Week 7: a broken and discarded Tony Romo, looking very much like a fallen GODDAM STAR.
As proven by the libelous imagery at With Leather, there’s a great deal of fun to be had with this picture. To the Photoshopmobile!
We were all taken aback by the news that Brett Favre’s NFL-record consecutive game streak is in jeopardy. And while it may be premature to count Favaro out, it’s never too early to plan for the future. With that in mind, this latest setback might present some lucrative new marketing possibilities for the Land Baron:
A classic look that’s equally at home on the ranch or at the saloon. It’s the only boot this gunslinger will ever wear. Lookin’ good, pardner!”
I forgot to put this one in the earlier post.
Due to time constraints, NFL Internet Meme-ology will never be a weekly feature at KSK, but the appearance of some excellent new memes over the last week demanded another installment. In addition to the memes featured in this post, today we’ll be adding new wrinkles courtesy of:
So let’s break out a li’l Photoshop and see what we can do.
Following the middling non-failure of last week’s mash-up of NFL pictures with recent memes, we’re going to give another go at fun with Photoshop. This week’s sources of fun will be Philip Rivers Walking Into the Light and — of course — Pigwoman, who was masterfully screencapped by our very own Christmas Ape.
Let’s see what we’ve got.
Behold, the greatest “Game Notes” ever compiled. From the bottom of the AP’s Raiders-Titans recap:
Johnson has nine runs of 50 yards or longer in his career. … He also tied for needing the fourth-fewest games in NFL history to 4,000 yards from scrimmage, reaching that mark in his 32nd career game. … This was Young’s ninth career game with two or more TD passes, and the Titans are 8-1 in those games. … Washington’s TD catch was longer than any reception he had in 2009. … Campbell is 6-5 in the month of September. … An opossum was caught in the stadium near the field about an hour after fans had been cleared out.
I guess that explains today’s headlines…
The above Photoshop comes from our intermittent but terrifying mouth-eyes meme, and it owes at least some inspiration from the Corinthian, the most memorable nightmare from Neil Gaiman’s Sandman series.
While the headline image is of my own creation, many KSK readers responded to our call for JaMarcus Photoshops in Monday’s post, and I’m proud to share the best of the submissions below. Thanks to all who took the time to take part in the fun.
The Raiders released JaMarcus Russell late last week, giving up on the 2007 #1 overall pick after only three years and $39 million, or about $100,000 per completion. (“How’d you manage to do it so quickly?” asked Alex Smith.) So now, the man his teammates called “Jambone” (from the French for “ham”) is now looking for work — presumably in the refrigerator. That’s a burn, fattie.
But honestly, at KSK, we have nothing but love for the talented signal caller. Yes, he IS talented. At wheezing and staying still. That’s why we’ve collected some of his greatest moments in the following image gallery:
I have more pet peeves than I could ever possibly catalog, but one of the things that bloggers do that I hate most is write “Insert joke here” or “The jokes write themselves” instead of actually writing a joke. It’s like announcing to your audience that you recognize comedic potential in a story but you don’t have the time or the brain power to sit down and come up with a joke.
That’s the story today, when Pro Football Talk reported on the first-ever Raidercruise — which leaves from L.A. on May 2nd, with three scheduled stops in Mexico — with the lede “Some of the best jokes write themselves.” Well, actually, no. The jokes don’t write themselves. They magically appear online in popular dick humor forums. Join us for a Raidercruise jokekkake, won’t you?
The Conan-NBC saga has been getting tiresome, and it’s a little tougher to feel for a guy who just got $33 million to leave his job. But as someone who’s also dabbled in petty revenge against a loathsome former employer, though never on this scale, I have to tip my hat to Coco for the majesty that is the Bugatti Mouse sketch. Highly Measty and ballsy, sir.
But then I suppose we have to reserve the actual Meast award for someone whose exploits are more closely related to the gridiron. Very well. The Meast for the divisional round is Ray Edwards, who had three sacks and a forced fumble in the dismantling of Dallas.
The entire Vikes front four crushed Big Cheapy Flozell Adams and the rest of the Cowboys offensive line, but Edwards had the showiest stat line, so we’ll give it to him. In addition we gave consideration to Reggie Bush for running with balls for perhaps the first time in his NFL career and, as has been the norm lately, Darrelle Revis.
