After a week of Congressional busy-bodying into baseball and football, it was refreshing to find out they replayed the Super Bowl and the Patriots won!
That was until I realized it actually was a gift to the citizens of Nicaragua by a charity.
Nothing is more uplifting to the downtrodden then t-shirts of losing teams. I bet the same people behind this stupid idea are the ones who think there shouldn’t be scorekeeping in Little League.
And how often is this done anyways? Are there millions of people with almost-championship apparel? If I ran one of these countries, I’d convince the population that the teams really did win. Imagine the fun the tourists will have trying to figure out what the fuck is going on.
Since the third world is allowed to misremember the outcomes of sporting events can we do the same with members of Congress grilling athletes? Or should I say brown-nosing.
The amount of ass-kissing in Roger Clemens’ direction had me wondering if maybe Winstrol wasn’t the cause of Roger’s butt abscesses. The winner of the political grandstand award of the week however goes to Arlen Specter who met with Roger Goodell this week to discuss Spygate.
Of course these are very important issues which demand our leaders’ attention. We can see it causing problems in our lives. I ran into an old friend recently who is a teacher. She told me the children have a new game where they run around the playground trying to stick each other in the buttocks with dirty needles used by homeless people.
The kids call it The Rocket Game. See what I mean?
Thankfully, it turns out there are some things in sports we might actually want to remember this week.
Curly from the Harlem Globetrotters got his number retired at Madison Square Garden and that brings up the obvious question: Would they beat an NBA team?
I don’t know. They could probably beat Memphis but not Boston. Maybe Cleveland. Something like that might be a good idea for the NBA All-Star festivities this weekend.
So how about the Globetrotters versus the NBA’s best players instead? Have that be the All-Star game.
Nevermind. Stupid idea. It would be over at half-time.
Just misremember that last one.
This is the weekly Saturday sports column from Chris Cameron and Angry Seafood. Sorry, we don’t do NASCAR.

That’s bizarre… I never knew that happened with unused championship apparel. I can’t even imagine the cost of losing one of these games.

I used to work for a company that printed shirts and stuff. The biggest costs would be in the quality of the clothing and the licensing. Talking probably about $4-6 bucks each. No idea how much stuff they print up but I would imagine there was a lot.

I also want to note that the lawyer who filed the lawsuit against the Patriots is in Kentucky, a state which has recently sworn in a new District Attorney. Maybe he’s jockeying for a position on the staff, or maybe he doesn’t like the guy, I don’t know. This is where I would look for an ulterior motive to filing a $100 million dollar lawsuit besides the obvious publicity hook.
I found that one on my own and it took like five minutes. I know the mainstream media did away with investigative journalism but come on.

How shocking! Sticking each other in the butt with needles? Whatever happened to the good old days when kids used penises instead?
On another note. I hate Arlen Sphincter. I hate that he represents my state.

Specter was interviewed by WEEI Tuesday and they asked him if he would be pursuing this if the Eagles won the Super Bowl a few years ago. He said no! LOL.
At least that deflects attention away from his conflict of interest with Comcast. Those silly politicians.
