Much Ado About Football
Or
Go On, My Son…..
1. Mrs Doyle: “Football, football, football, football, football, football, football, football, football… what you men see in it, I don’t know. A load of men kicking a bit of leather ’round a field. You men, the things you think are great fun. Like going to the films, a load of men sitting around looking at films! And rollercoasters, a load of men in a rollercoaster going up and down on a big metal track! And sailing, a load of men in a big boat floating around in the sea! And shouting, a load of men going around shouting! And so forth…”
- Father Ted. Season 3, Episode 5. Escape From Victory (1998).
2. The Nerd: “Look at these titles! Baseball, Basketball, Football, not this "Madden" shit. Just plain-ass, normal, everyday, no question about it, no NFL, no year, not named after a player, not named after a coach, not named after the referee's pet goldfish, no quarterback, dime-back, Nickelback, simple, ordinary, un-embellished, unmistakable, crystal clear, as frank as Frankenstein, as blunt as an atom BOMB! One compound word: It's MOTHERFUCKING, GODDAMNED, SONS-OF-BITCHIN', FUCK-FUCK-FUCKIN', FOOTBALL!”*slams cartridge into the system so damn hard, that it causes a screen-rumbling explosion*
- The Angry Video Game Nerd. Atari Sports (2012).
This one is a bit more low effort but I had to do it.
Make of this what you will.
