Some things in life are not meant to be shared by men and women. Hair curlers. The Three Stooges. Picking a prom dress.


The Super Bowl
-snip


snip-

Because what men really want out of Super Bowl Sunday, especially as they get older, is a chance to make believe they are not getting older -- a chance to scream, scratch, belch and act like an expert when in fact they don't know a single player besides the quarterback.

-snip

snip-

Men want to scream when a player breaks free. Men want to holler, "Go baby, go baby, go baby!" Men want to leap and slap hands with the guy next to them, as if something really important just happened. Men want to burp. Men want to scratch. Men want to undo their belts and slide into the couch like an otter.

Let's face it. You don't want your husband shopping for shoes with you. You don't want him on the other extension as you talk to your girlfriend. You don't want him holding you while you watch the Oprah show on weight loss.

Bite me, Mitch. I don't shop for shoes...I've never seen a god damned episode of Oprah...but I do know and love football. A pastime I have shared with my father since early childhood. I scream, I bounce, I pig out, I slap hands, I undo my belt...and I LOVE it. I love watching with my husband. He's the one who makes the stupid comments nine times out of ten and he's man enough to admit it. He learned how to be a Football pig from me. Thankfully, he doesn't read your column and won't learn how to be a chauvinist pig from you.

Man this column pisses me off.

1. I liked "The Five People You Meet in Heaven"

Too bad he's such a fuckin' idiot.

[ScreamingMeemie]

8. Seconded...

with an inflated ego. We won't need the blimp for the Super Bowl here in Detroit come next year. Mitch's head'll do the trick.

2. Well, it's always possible that you're a genetic freak

an XY but developmentally and physiologically female.

Just kidding :-)

[ScreamingMeemie]

7. Perhaps.....

but then there IS the part of me that gets all giddy when I walk into Bath and Body works. ;)

3. LOL! His next book: "The Five People You Meet in Hell"

I spent yesterday actively avoiding the SuperBowl. I watched non-football DVDs, including a good part of the Looney Tunes collection I got from my brother for Christmas.

Don't speak for ME, Mitch. God I hate sportswriters. Huge waste of both ink and oxygen.

[ScreamingMeemie]

6. I cannot stand this man and the PR stunt that he is.

Why do they always do this? There isn't a decent sports radio show in our town. It's all about dissing women and acting like hairy assholes. Grrrrrr.

[Richardo]

9. Sports talk radio is SOOOOO pointless

Hey caller, if you're so good why aren't YOU the General Manager? Oh yeah, 'cause you don't know what the HELL you're talking about.

4. Dang, Mrs. G

Don't sugar coat it, tell us what you really think... :o :scared:

(It's always the sweet, quiet, innocent-lookin' ones, I tell ya... ;):D)

[ScreamingMeemie]

5. Hehe. This article just really busted up my bagel this morning.

I didn't read the paper yesterday, now I know why. Between that and the headlines of the Free Press being, "THE VALUES AGENDA". Honestly. :hi:

[peekaloo]

10. He reminds me of a bow tie-less Tucker Carlson.

meaning I'd like to smack him.

[ScreamingMeemie]

12. I'd go with you! How did this man get to the top of his field?

Most diehard, male, sportsfans I know can't even stand him.

[progmom]

11. Wow.

I always tried to respect Mitch because he's a big jazz fan, and he wrote a beautiful memorial for Dexter Gordon when he passed away. But this column makes me think he might have some serious issues with the ladies. Yikes!

[ScreamingMeemie]

13. I have always thought he was a bit of an ass...now I can add chauvinistic

to that. :hi:

[sakabatou]

14. Don't bitch about my cousin...

-_- Even if he might be a freeper.

[ScreamingMeemie]

15. I feel sorry for you. Sorry, but he's a jerkoid. I was liking some of his

comments on the radio of late. (He struck me as more Libertarian) but after this...Grrrrrrrrr.....

[sakabatou]

16. I haven't met him anyway

So I don't what he's really like. But he's a black sheep of the Alboms in politics. The rest are moderate or left-leaning.

[Pithlet]

17. We're supposed to be fetching the beer.

What's wrong with you?

Ugh. This kind of thing pisses me off, too.

[ScreamingMeemie]

18. I don't know...sigh...shame on me, eh?

;) BTW,I love your sigline!! What a cutie!!! :hi:

[Pithlet]

19. Thanks!

I need to get a good pic of both of my boys together. I feel kind of bad my oldest isn't in my sig.
