I don't watch pro football but saw this the other night and thought WTF is that? Just ridiculous. Just more more step toward a monster truck rally. I believe that is the direction they want to move in.

The gay ass robot?

For a sport where guys wear tights, prance around, wrestle with each other, and play with balls?

Because that isn't gay at all.

But you're not bitter about getting your ass kicked by football players in high school.

Ugh yes that horrible gimmick of a robot.. it's a prime example of special effects «because they can».

Kill it.
I could take Sean Connery in a fight... I could definitely take him.

Nope, never happened. I got along with my entire class, believe it or not. All 200+ people, we were all cliquey but loved hanging out with new people. I remember when some nerds showed up at a party senior year, and Jeff (typical big football guy) was like "Oh hell yeah I've never drank with you guys before!".

I just think American Football is ****ing lame, and I do not understand it's popularity.

Well it is much less popular than European football which is faaaaar more boring. It's something about a bunch of guys in shorts running around and pretending to fall for 90+ minutes.

The only thing more boring that I know of: Baseball (NBL)

Wow that thing can put down a hyperactive 5 year old on a sugar rush. The very definition of boring.

Golf on TV wins in the boring department. The only thing that makes football entertaining is the commercials, which luckily, happen every 20 seconds. American football= creates ADD.

And it's sucked for years... I especially hate when they dress it up for various things. Do you really need to play with dolls FOX? Seriously?

Which is why you've discussed before what idiots the football players were and why you take satisfaction in knowing that they're all bagging groceries now. Because they were good friends of yours.

The robot was a stretch when it first came around in the late 90s (if I remember correctly). Now it's just pathetic.

I'm sure it's keeping at least one person employed.

I didn't say they weren't idiots. I got along with them fine, and some are my friends, but yeah, most are working dead end jobs with a fat wife they knocked up a few years ago, living about 1 mile away from their parents house.

I like football. I hate football fans. Seriously, today at work everyone was just standing around watching Denver play[lose], throwing insults at each other and shouting OH **** every time Denver messed up. Why? Watching millionaires tackling each other on fake turf is cool, but not that cool.

But how will you know you're watching football on FOX without the dancing gay robot?
