Vermeil Not Quite Sure What He Was Just Crying About
KANSAS CITY, MO-Dick Vermeil, coach of the Kansas City Chiefs, broke down and cried after Sunday’s game against the Baltimore Ravens. The emotional Vermeil, known for his tearful outbursts, reportedly forgot exactly why he started crying in the first place. “Well, we played a helluva game today,” Vermeil began. “We were able to run the ball, and that set up the pass. You gotta give credit to the offensive line, as well as the defensive line. I tell ya, these guys….these guys….I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to get so emotional. It’s just that…I just…um…I…Wait a minute. What was I crying about? I started off talking about running the ball, right? Then I went into that thing about the offensive line. Then…I don’t know, I really don’t. Anyway, it was a good win for us.” |
Inebriated
Friend Making Better Points Than Tim McCarver OVERLAND PARK, KS-Tom Gunderson of Overland Park, KS, claims that his inebriated friend Gary Pratt was actually making more interesting points than Fox color commentator Tim McCarver during game 3 of the A’s- Red Sox series. “It was that play where Tejada got tagged out after the ump called Bill Mueller for interference. McCarver was acting all outraged that the ump didn’t give Tejada home plate. So Gary says ‘Hey, if Tejada had been running full speed, we wouldn’t even be talking about this right now.’ I thought, ‘You know, he’s right.’” Gunderson also reported that, midway through the game, he resorted to utilizing the SAP button to avoid hearing more of McCarver’s inane observations. |
Islamic
Fundamentalists Denounce Volleyball For Some Reason TIKRIT, IRAQ-Islamic Fundamentalists took the streets of Iraq today to demonstrate against the game of volleyball for some reason. Thousands of Muslims marched through Tikrit chanting “No to volleyball! Yes to Allah!” and holding signs featuring volleyballs adorned with tiny devil horns. “I’m not sure why they’re protesting,” said Sgt Lance Fredrickson, of the 5th Infantry. “The other day, a few of the guys were playing volleyball. It must’ve upset them for some reason.” The crowd was large but peaceful, and forbade all Muslims from engaging in the American game. According to Sgt. Fredrickson, this isn’t the first time the people of Tikrit have protested. “These people protest every other day. I think they just protest for the sake of protesting. Last week they protested non-dairy creamer. And the week before that it was John Tesh. I dunno. You figure it out.” |

Bryant Defense Team Attempting To Disparage Crazy Slut Accuser DENVER, CO-According to a report by the Associated Press, the Kobe Bryant defense team has launched a smear campaign in an attempt to disparage the crazy slut who accused Bryant of rape.

She’s fucked, your honor.” The liar’s attorney vehemently denied the charges, accusing the defense of attempting to discredit her client in a vicious, cruel way. Mackey rebutted that if the accuser wasn’t such a no-good, delusional whorebag, they wouldn’t even be in this situation. |
