Worst. Football Game. Eveh.

Pardon all the sports stuff today, but wow, what an awful game.

I didn't watch it of course. But I did watch some of the pre-game stuff. The game was delayed until 9 due to lightning and the fact that the field was a sodden, puddle-pocked "quagmire." Which meant the pre-game crew had to s-t-r-e-t-c-h in promoting a game simply incapable of promotion. Pittsburgh vs. Miami? Awful, and the outcome was never in doubt.

Though, actually, it turned out to be: 3-0 Pittsburgh, the game's only score coming with 17 seconds left.

How do you promote this? It's like attempting to gin up interest in a live gay sex show starring Wilford Brimley and Dan Dierdorf. The only point of interest is whether Dan Dierdorf will shut up at any point during the grotesqueries, or will manage to keep yapping even when he's got a face-full of Brimley's Wilford.

What the hell did the broadcasters talk about throughout this abortion? I imagine they discussed the coming Patriots/Colts playoffs showdown, whether the NFC offers a truly worthy Superbowl opponent this year, and perhaps some novels they're seriously thinking about writing some day.

Via Hot Air's headlines.

UPDATE [Dave in Texas]: Ricky Williams out for the rest of the season.
