Whew!

Count me as glad that the Super Bowl week is over. I spend a lot of time in the car listening to radio. And last week is always the worst week. All the sports gab fests go down to the Syper Bowl site so that they can do live interviews. Here’s how each segment always goes:

Host: Hey! Please welcome Hasbeen Athlete to the show! Hey, buddy-ole-buddy-ole-buddy-ole pal! How are ya?

Guest Hasbeen: Doin’ great! How are ya'?

Host: Great! So, who’s gonna win and why?

Guest: Well, the Pretty Mediocres stand a great shot because their coach is an up-and-coming genious and he can outthink the defending Overrated Champs Coach Overlyhypedgenious. And, don’t forget about reserve player Joe Inconsequential. He’s gonna step up huge this week because that’s what champions do.

Host: You don’t think the Overrated Champs have a chance?

Guest: I never said they didn’t! Their quarterback is one of the best I’ve ever seen since that guy I can’t remember from 3 years ago that quit because of acute halitosis. He’s gonna step up huge this week because that’s what champions do.

Host: Outstanding! Great to see ya! Need to plug anything?

Guest: Yeah, strangely, I do! Go to Maledysfunction.com and sign up to win a free drawing to enter our drawing. And click on my butt on the picture of me on the page to get a free bonus drawing entry.

Host: Fabulous! Thanks for stopping by, uh…. Whatever your name was. Up next, the sideline drive marker holder from the 1971 Punt Pass and Kick competition drops by with his prediction.

Thank god that’s over. Nine days until pitchers and catchers report.
