I'm Going Christmas Shopping

32
Vote

by Afraidofedhochuli

From: http://afraidofedhochuli.blogspot.com

 

The Holidays are here so it is time for me to do a few things:

•1)      Get angry because Thanksgiving hasn’t even happened and I am being bombarded with ads for Christmas

•2)      Start eating the candy left-over for Halloween so I can justify the inevitable weight gain.

•3)      Stock up on Henley’s and hooded sweatshirts, because they are everywhere now and will disappear soon.

•4)      Start trying to enjoy sports like Basketball and Hockey, because Football will be over before you know it and Baseball just ended.

•5)      Realize that there is NO WAY on God’s green Earth that I will ever like Basketball or Hockey.

•6)      Write some stupid pop-culture article on what movie to get each team in the NFL for Christmas.

 

In Alphabetical order: 

1. Arizona Cardinals - The Great White Hype. ‘Nuff said.

2. Atlanta Falcons – The Graduate ; No, Petrino doesn’t want to get with a younger man, but I’m sure he is eyeing Brohm and drooling. Hopefully Brohm doesn’t like pit bulls.

3. Baltimore Ravens - For the Common Defense!, since their Defense has become just plain old common.

4. Buffalo Bills – The Big Sleep ; what I want to do when they are on TV

5. Carolina Panthers – Apocalypse Now ; starting a rookie? How many QB’s are they going to go through this year?

6. Chicago Bears – Invasion of the Body Snatchers ; what happened to the team that went to the Super Bowl? Oh, right…they hedged their bets on Sexy Rexy

7. Cincinnati Bengals – To Be or Not to Be ; What happened to the great Offense?

8. Cleveland Browns - Rudy, only because of Derek Anderson. Have fun riding the pine, Brady!

9. Dallas Cowboys – Touch of Evil ; something is fishy here…

10. Denver Broncos – MASH ; Someone needs to just attach a hospital to the stadium.

11. Detroit Lions – Miracles Do Happen ; This is what Matt Millen is saying every Sunday.

12. Green Bay Packers - Freaks ; this team shouldn’t be this good. (Honestly, though, this movie is AWESOME!)

13. Houston Texans – Kids ; these kids are the future of this team

14. Indianapolis Colts – Sweet Smell of Success ; They hoisted the trophy, and now they want it again

15. Jacksonville Jaguars –Enigma; aren’t they supposed to be good?

16. Kansas City Chiefs - The Invisible Man, which may end up being the Memoir of L.J.’s 2007 season.

17. Miami Dolphins – Rebel Without a Cause ; I have a feeling it will end the same way as well.

18. Minnesota Vikings – Rocky ; all that can be heard in Minnesota right now is: “Adrian!”

19. New England Patriots – Nixon ; no explanation necessary.

20. New Orleans Saints – Gone with the Wind ; (*UPDATED*) Not because of the terrible disaster that happened to the city, but because the team rode the emotion last year, and this year...well...it is gone. Up in smoke.

21. New York Giants – Metropolis ; Dissention, a crazy leader, and apocalypse talk? Yup sounds like the Giants…or Yankees…

22. New York Jets – Unforgiven ; Who cares if Mangini ratted out Belichick? Bill is still a jerk.

23. Oakland Raiders – Halfway Home ; not because they are close, but because the world doesn’t want these guys on the street.

24. Philadelphia Eagles – Superbad ; ‘Nuff said

25. Pittsburgh Steelers – The Steel Helmet ; so many different levels…”steel curtain”, Ben’s motorcycle…man…awesome.

26. St. Louis Rams – 12 Angry Men ; if you count the coach

27. San Diego Chargers – Chicken Run ; duh.

28. San Francisco 49ers – One Year to Live ; Better watch out Nolan

29. Seattle Seahawks – Shaun of the Dead ; It’s even spelled right.

30. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Iron Man ; Garcia I am looking at you.

31. Tennessee Titans – The Young Lions ; Should be Young’s Lions, but the point is the same

32. Washington Redskins - The Only Game in Town ; the only reason anyone watches

I like the alternates. I was trying to keep some of them as "obtuse" as possible. I didn't want to do: "Sleepless in Seattle" or something like that. But there are a few I didn't even think of. I think Longest yard might be the one I had seen. Kids these days

If you wouldnt mind me kind of stealing your idea I might do a song that identifies each team, unless you plan on doing that?

Only in the 80s could Shelley Long actually have a career as an actress. Sam Malone must have been one sick desperate drunk to chase that beast.

I am goign to leave it. I am NOT commenting on the plight of the city. I am discussing the fact that (as I said in one of my previews) the Saints rode the emotion last year and this year it is gone. Yes, it is a little "calous" but really...it is nothign compared to what some people say.

If we're just going off titles, we could go with The Hurricane for #20 And also, how about Conspiracy Theory for #19, or maybe Revenge of the Sith.

After suffering from about 40 years watching the Saints on TV down in Louisiana I didn't make the connection with the hurricane because the Saints are usually gone with wind by this time of the season. Am worried that their game in New Orleans looks so easy playing the Dolphins that the Dolphins might win it.

Yeah...I can see how you say their are no longer playing for the people of New Orleans and the victims of Katrina, but have you been to New Orleans since Katrina hit? I have and let me warn you that the people of that area are still living through the Saints' because not much as changed since the hurricane hit. And what do you have to say about the 4 game win streak they are on? Any possibility that the city is rallying behind this win streak just like they did last year?

First of all, I have not been there, but I have family and friends there and I have seen pictures and heard their stories. So please don't come at me like I am insensitive. This is about sports NOT a damaged region.

Second of all, i think it is a gross generalization to say that EVERYONE is living through the saints. My friends and family don't care about football. They care about their community.

Third, the four game winning streak: A struggling Seahawks team, a TERRIBLE atlanta team, a HORRENDOUS San Fran team and a struggling JAX team. A win streak is a win steak, but you can NOT say that this is because they are still a good team. They are NOT what they were last year.

You are way to nice to the Jets. More accruate names include: Loser; Very Bad Things; Cruel Intentions (Jets fans intended for their team to make the playoffs. it was a cruel joke.)

We lived about 200 miles from New Orleans but now live in Knoxville. Finally got to see a Saints game on Sunday...thought they had a better team than they showed at first of season but the Dolphins game has me worried....Dolphins are due for a win and Saints may overconfident coming into the game expecting an easy win. Dolphins are trying to have a perfect season in reverse and are halfway to finishing 0-16.
