It’s a travesty! It’s a sham! It’s a mockery! It’s a travishamockery! All in this week’s Tuesday Morning Quarterback, after the jump…
What’s a travishamockery? “…there will be no cheerleaders at the Super Bowl.”
Speaking of cheerleaders, Jennifer isn’t too bad. Except she’s got this weird thing going on with her eyes.
Sweet and sour stuff: highly skippable.
Tesla Motors bashing. Terrafugia flying car bashing. WCD wants our damn flying car, but looking at the photo, the Terrafugia isn’t it.
Jets – Steelers: safeties, great Jets defense, Steelers doing the unexpected.
WCD is not really wild about Miss America.
Hobart College sanctioned by the NCAA for “ineligible participation, impermissible inducements and extra benefits, inconsistent financial aid, and lack of institutional control.” TMQ’s response: “At the Division III level, where there are no athletic scholarships, caring about who gets tuition help is silly.” WCD’s response: “There are rules. They exist for a reason.”
“Traffic Should Not Stop for Football Teams“. “Andrew Luck Backlash” seems more like Stanford backlash. Creep, still. China bashing. Toaster ovens get hot. Government officials waste money on travel. What the hell is the baby monkey song? (Yes, we are aware that TMQ provides a link. No, we are not going to click on it. No, we are not trying to prove some sort of moral superiority; we actually have some idea of who Snooki is, which defeats any claim we might have in that regard.)
TMQ finds something amusing about “local bison” at Silver Diner. We’re not exactly sure what TMQ finds so amusing; a quick Google search turned up at least one bison farm in Delaware (which, we are given to understand, is not too far from TMQ headquarters) that sells bison meat commercially.
Packers – Bears: passive decision making, worry about the Pack’s kicking game, and whinging about F-16 flyovers this week. WCD’s response to this whine is the same as our response to the F-18 whine last week.
Speaking of wine, Easterbrook is still on the “wacky wine vocabulary” kick.
“Adventures in Officiating”: “[Hochuli] is known to be vain about his muscular build and seems to use any opportunity to focus the television cameras on himself.” NFL official pin-up calenders. We sense a great need.
“Weasel Coach Watch”: Jeff Jagodzinski, who went from Boston College to Tampa Bay to…being fired by the Omaha Nighthawks?
Reader comments: headfirst hits, Jerod Mayo made the right call you maroon, Tom Brady’s balaclava, the USFL had 8-10 teams and the CFL had a 7-9 team (but TMQ was talking about real football), more ignorance about standard capacity pistol magazines, and switching from a 3-4 to a 4-3 defense is a marketing strategy.
Tune in next week to see how TMQ and WCD fill the Super Bowl Gap.
I think it would be pretty easy to financially justify compensating for the lack of Superbowl cheerleaders with corporate sponsorships.
