Super Bore Sunday Edition
Every year we have to endure the endless days before the Super Bowl. And while this year’s NFC Championship Game has left us all feeling a little Phil-Kessel-Without-The-Car, we still have a few suggestions to pass the time.
1. Have A Baby. Apparently, it makes you at least three times better at your job.
2. Earmark Something. Maybe start with a provision to cut your boss’s legs off at the knees.
3. While You’re At It . . . Some people are positively begging for exactly the same treatment.
4. Party Like An All-Star. Just be sure to wrap it up before you ruin it for everyone else.
5. Assemble A New Offensive Line. After all, 35% beef might actually be an improvement
6. Pull Up The Couch Cushions, Maybe Scrape Up A Little Loose Change. You know, maybe around 85 cents per person . . . treat yourself to something nice.
7. Fire Everyone. And if that doesn’t work, try building a billion-dollar monument to yourself. That always buys you some relevance.
8. Tough It Out. Come on, Sissy, even this guy played hurt!
