Once upon a time, there was a college football team.
The quarterback was named "Red."
Red never saw The Blind Side... and he weren't yellow.
So Red had concussions.
This made Red blue.
But the team's coach was seeing green.
The college was definitely in the black.
Nobody got educated.
Orange you glad you heard this story?
Goddamn Monday. Goddamn fucktard colleagues.
And they all lived happily ever after... until the house of cards collapsed.
Years later, the brain-damaged Red kills himself in a cheap motel room.
ReplyDeleteAnd the dean says, "Oh, my.... OK, back to work."
The end.
With apologies to Strelnikov, better dead than red.

I now have a mental picture of Bubba, glass of bourbon close at hand, reading a bedtime story to a wide-awake tot. I'm not sure who nods off first, but since it sounds like Bubba has some experience holding his liquor, I suspect he's got a fighting chance.
ReplyDeleteI don't speak up for the college atheletes because I hate the meathead parts of college culture*, but the university foo'ball players get the snot physically beaten out of them on the field and when their time is up, it's "don't let the door hit you on the ass on your way out, mmmkay?" That old film "North Dallas Forty" pretty much nailed it.
