Deadspin’s "Why Your Team Sucks" series is great. The features are funny, creative, and even mean at times. Pure entertainment.
Today’s, written by Drew Magary, features the Green Bay Packers.
Enjoy it here. Soft warning that some of the language is not suitable for the office or your kids.
Here’s a snap shot of the type of humor in the pieces:
"Here is what I imagine is a typical scene in a Green Bay household:
WIFE: Can you pass the salt?
HUSBAND: (stares off into nothingness)
WIFE: Can you pass the salt? KUUUUUUUUUUUUUHN.
HUSBAND: (system reboots) Sure ya LOVE OL’ KUHNY."
Seriously, if you can’t laugh at yourself and our own too often blind team loyalty, what can you do?
So, take the Deadspin piece with a healthy grain of salt and please laugh out loud. Go Pack!
