For those of you who care, Thursday night football starts tomorrow!!
Some jokes:
The Coach of the Detroit Lions had put together the perfect
football team. But then his quarterback got blindsided and was out for the season
with a knee injury.
Then his backup went down with a concussion. He tried the
trading route, free agents, but nobody any good was available.
One evening while watching the news from Iraq, he saw a young
Iraqi soldier with an amazing arm. The soldier rifled a grenade on a perfect
arc into a 4th story window from 100 yards, bam!
He tossed another directly into a tight group of 12 enemy
fighters 80 yards away, ka-bam! Then a Humvee passed, going 60 kph, boom!
Another perfect shot!
Coach said to himself, "I got to have this guy. He's got
the best arm I've ever seen!"
He tracks him down and convinces him to come to Detroit. The kid
takes coaching perfectly, makes all the plays, and long story short, the Lions
win the Super Bowl.
The Iraqi is now the Conquering Hero in pro football, and a huge
story. But when the broadcast team tries to interview him, all he wants is to
phone his mom.
"Mother," he yells over the phone, "We just won
the Super Bowl!"
"Don't talk to me," the woman says. "You
abandoned us. You can't be my son."
The young Iraqi begs, "Mom, you don't understand! Our team
won the biggest game here in the U.S. Thousands of fans are screaming for me.
The U.S. President is going to call me!"
"I don't care," his mother snaps. "Right now I
can hear gunshots everywhere. Our block is like a ruin. Your brothers were
beaten half to death last night, and your sister was nearly raped."
Then she says, "I can never forgive you for making us move
to Detroit."

It was a particularly tough
football game, and nerves were on edge. The home team had been the victim of
three or four close calls, and they were now trailing the visitors by a
touch-down and a field goal. When the official called yet another close one in
the visitors' favor, the home quarterback blew his top.
"How many times can you do this to us in a
single game?" he screamed. "You were wrong on the out-of-bounds, you
were wrong on that last first down, and you missed an illegal tackle in the
first quarter."
The official just stared.
The quarterback seethed, but he suppressed the
language that might get him tossed from the game. "What it comes down
to," he bellowed, "is that you STINK!"
The official stared a few more seconds. Then he
bent down, picked up the ball, paced off 15 yards, and put the ball down. He
turned to face the steaming quarterback.
The official finally replied, "And how do I smell from here?"

A local football star is
jogging down the street when he sees a building on fire. A woman is standing
three floors up on a ledge holding her pet cat in her arms.
“Hey, lady,” he yells,
“Throw me the cat.”
“No,” she cries, “It's too far.”
“I play football, I can catch him!”
The
smoke is pouring from the windows & finally the woman kisses her cat
goodbye & then tosses him down onto the street. The football player keeps
his eye on the cat as it comes hurtling down toward him. The cat bounces off an
awning and football player runs into the street and catches the cat. He jumps
six feet into the air and makes a spectacular one handed catch. The crowd that
has gathered to watch the fire breaks into cheers. He does a little dance,
lifts the cat above his head, wiggles his knees back and forth, then ‘spikes'
the cat into the pavement.
