TTYM: SNL Mocks The NFL, Will Ferrell Mocks Jeter And Giants Co-Owner Mocks The Cowboys
More Columns here.
Funny or Die pays tribute to Jeter, or do they? TMZ tricks Giants Co-owner Steve Tisch into making some cringe-worthy comments and a football team's locker room shenanigans are caught on tape. Here are four sports stories you may have missed this week.
Wrestle With This
There are so very many things that make me uncomfortable about this WVU Football team locker room video "brawl."
Not in the least of which is that it was shot in portrait rather than landscape.
Now, there's got to be a Mountaineer in the room who can put that videographer into a sleeper hold, no?
Re2pect?
Anyone else get the feeling Chris Rock, Kevin Hart and Will Ferrell are Boston Red Sox fans?
That's A Lineup All Right...
Many of us actually enjoy the player introduction at the start of each NFL game and that truth was not lost on Saturday Night Live.
And seeing that the NFL is also immersed in a serious domestic violence scandal with several of its players, the late night show took full advantage of that ritual and mocked the moment to create comedy gold. Although, I am sure Roger Goodell is not laughing.
Well-played SNL.
Now That's What I Call 'Going Viral'
Ebola is not funny. It's truly not a laughing matter, particularly now that a confirmed case has been found in the United States – near Dallas.
TMZ tricking Giants co-owner Steve Tisch into joking that the Cowboys will get Ebola and that it would be "to our advantage," is hilarious.
That is, of course, unless you're John Mara.
