Axe Actually Works

by Kent on February 9, 2010

He’s the starting QB for a team might not even be good enough for the defunct NFL Europe, yet the stunning Marisa Miller was all over him.   Matthew Stafford was sure glad he wore his Axe on Super Bowl Sunday.

EricStangel#SB44 Highest rating since 1987 episode of Who’s The Boss where Tony is caught in compromising position w/ Tommy Lasorda.

gkketch – The more I watch that Porter interception, the more I wonder WTF Reggie Wayne was doing on that play – from start to finish. Wow.

Every child needs to have that journey of discovery in their life. The time where they strike out on their own, find new mentors and an independent way in the word. The time where they realize that their parents aren’t the superheroes of their youth. That they are mortal and fallible.

For most of us, that time was college. For Peyton Manning, it was at a South Beach bar after a devastating Super Bowl loss to his father’s old team, the New Orleans Saints.

NFL: Super Bowl XLIV-Prisolec Most Valuable Protectors Award Press ConferenceDo as I say, not as I do.

Joe Orton, a sixty-year-old Saints fan, was the first to approach the distraught Peyton downing Maker’s Mark at the bar.

“The poor guy, your heart just went out to him. I just felt it was time to understand who he was and where he came from. So, I bought him another round and we had a good cry for a while.”

It was at that point that the bartender took out a VHS tape marked “New Orleans’ Greatest Disasters Mixtape ‘10.”

Orton went on:

“So, the bartender puts this tape in the bar player. It’s a video montage of Archie Manning being sacked forty or fifty times, Hurricane Katrina news footage, Reggie Bush scenes from “Keeping Up With The Kardashians”, and various Emeril Lagasse cooking shows. All set to “In The Blood” by Better Than Ezra. Man, that’s some powerful stuff right there.”

Soon, the entire bar was in tears and one by one walked up to Peyton, shook his hand, and gave him a heartfelt hug.

“You know, I think he’s going to turn things around. That crazy guy is going to be ok.”

Somewhat overshadowed by news today that an unidentified woman has filed suit against Michael Irvin for rape was the fact that another rape lawsuit had been filed against the former Dallas Cowboys great.

A group of NFL Network viewers known as “Everyone With A Television” has filed suit in federal court with multiple allegations of auditory rape by Irvin over the course of his role on the league-owned football network.

In a statement released to the press, the group’s spokesperson said the following:

“We felt that it was really time we did something. Every Sunday we would finish the day feeling totally violated. People like him should be taken off the air. We’re not saying the man is a crackhead. We’re just saying that he’s been arrested three times on drug-related charges.”

You’re with me, cracklips.
