Madden Makes Green

[FiddySicks]

did anyone else catch on tonights game how Madden learned what colors you mix to make the color green? He spilled mustard on his red tie and when he tried to wipe it off it left a green spot. Even worse he decided that that was important enough to tell the whole frickin world. I know it was a crappy game, but does anyone else think its rediculous how bad MNF coverage has gotten?

Its only as good as the game they gave us and when you got a stinker you just try to find anything to talk about.

Maybe PANTONE would be better to answer this, but from Kindergarden art class; Red and Yellow make orange.

Wow, that just brought up bad memories of HS art class. Making a 120 something color wheel.

"There is no purple, its violet."

Had to make grey perfectly by mixing equal amounts of yellow, blue and red.

Crazy art teacher. I think he was sniffin' the glaze.

And you wonder why they're taking this MNF off ABC.

Ummmmm, it was announced months ago.

And I don't see why people are so surprised about the irrelevant Madden observations. It's been part of his schtick for out-of-hand games for decades. I can remember him doing these riffs way back in the early 80's when he was with Summerall in the booth at CBS.

I for one love listening to the Michaels-Madden combo. I think they are a great pair. Yeah, Madden says some (OK, alot) stupid stuff, but its funny. Since when did football become such a serious sport?

MNF is 150% better than watching Sunday Night Football. Maguire, Theisman, and Patrick have to be one of the worst broadcast teams ever assembled. I can't listen to them for more than 5 minutes. Has anyone seen the SNF Drinking Game? It's hilarious...

Here's how to play:

? Set yourself up with a minimum of six beers for the three-hour game. If the Ravens are playing (and they are just about every other week), grab eight.

? Take the assigned number of swigs ? about the equivalent of one ounce, or 12 swigs per bottle/can. Do NOT drink when Paul Maguire is speaking. You might spit it up.

? If any of the "chug" criteria is met, you must finish your beer, even if you have to take a leak really badly.

Sunday was horrid, a endless tidal wave of Favre ass kissing for 4 hours. They simply would not relent. I finally had to mute it and listen to it on westwood1.
