We watched the Seahawks game today with some good friends and had a lot of fun. Plenty of drink, food and the oh-so-entertaining outbursts about the NBC commentators (who were obviously in love with the Redskins):
E: "Can you even
say the word 'Seahawks'?"
S: "Wow, obviously this is the
perfect time to talk about some player's mom on the east coast."
F: "Hey everyone, did you know?!! Seattle is NOT on the east coast!!
K: " The east coast being where anything ever happens."
E: "Aww. Poor Todd Collins. Don't feel so bad. The commentators have been jacking off to you the whole game."
F: "What? The SEAHAWKS are playing in this game?!"
Commentators: Wow, and to see this from the Seahawks, which were more of a forgotten team!"E: "No, just forgotten by you assholes!"
F: "Apparently, we should ALL feel bad for beating the Redskins!"
I know I probably forgot some of the best commentary gems of the afternoon, but you get the picture. And man, I may not be a sports aficionado, but with all the "poor Redskins, poor Sean Taylor" talk, those commentators deserved as much criticism as anyone else.
My favorite observation of the evening came from one of the genius friends who pointed out that when the Redskins won a previous game, it was by 21 points -- which happens to be Mr. Taylor's number. And this time? The Redskins lost by 21 points. Hmm.
