It's a battle for Missouri, home of Mark Twain, Harry Truman, Rush Limbaugh, Jesse James, Charles Lindburgh, and a lot of great blues and early Rock and Roll, as the Kansas City Cheeps and St. Louis Lambs get ready for Toilet Bowl I. Yes, Missouri is the epicenter of football badness.
It's a "Show Me" clash, but it will be played in California because, as Gov. Arnold said, "We need anything to raise a few bucks." And that is about all the revenue this game will get.
Wiith a fresh coat of spray paint and newly mowed grass, Kezar Stadium in San Francisco, the ancient home of the 49ers in their best days in the crapper, has been selected for the 2010 Toilet Bowl.
"Nobody really wants to play this game, and we figured San Francisco is a great place to be when you don't want to be there," an NFL official said under anonymity. "We hear the lines are kinda blurred there, which makes fir a pretty good party, and we all want to eat some crab, too."
The Kansas City Cheeps, heavily favored to win--er--lose the contest, will spend the week training on beer and Kansas City style sweet barbecue and cole slaw made with a Midwestern classic-- Miracle Whip.
The incredble Lambs, though not as perfect as the 2009 O-16 Kittens, really played a lot worse than the Kittens dis last year. In fact, almost every analyst is scratching his or her head, wondering how they managed to actually win a game. The Lambs will be preparing for the big game by eating at a St. Loius Krispy Kreme every day and banging down St. Louis Boilermakers at blues clubs on LaClede's'Landing every night.
"Our goal is to show up hungover and fat," an equipment manager said.
As for the rest of us, we can only imagine how bad this is going to be.
That's KeZar stadium, you pasty midwestern donut!
ReplyDeleteIf only it was the old dilapidated stadium. They fixed it up a few years back. it's called Kezar Pavilion, now. I go watch the High School Championship on Thanksgiving Day sometimes.
Hmmm. We have to figure out the play.
Actually, I thought of Kezar cause I love it so much. I would relish seeing an NFL game in that cool old place; even if it were the Lambs and Cheeps.
ReplyDeleteCheeps play in a very cool stadium. Gorgeous. But I think it has fake grass. Oh well.
Lambs play in a covered dome that is only slightly better than the Kingdome. Terrible place to watch football. Old Busch Stadium was better. But it is long gone now.
Weirdest stadium in all NFL is Soldier Field. They dropped a new stadium in the bowl of the old stadium. It looks like an Independence Day spaceship crashed into it. You expect to find Will Smith staggering around the parking lot, dragging an alien.
