Patriots Drinking Game

Filed under: Sports — Jim Murphy @ 8:25 pm

So I was talking with one of my friends and we came up with a Patriots Drinking game, you could modifiy this for any NFL team I guess.

  • 1 for everytime MANKINS is mentioned or seen on screen
  • 2 for every comparison of Brady to Joe Montana
  • 1 for every Simms complaint… 5 if it involves a snowball
  • 1 for every time someone calls Belichick a genius
  • 3 for everytime they mention a former coach… 5 if its Rod Rust
  • 2 for every Dillion fumble
  • 20 if someone makes a point of how ironic that a team once owned by Remington plays at Gilette Stadium
  • 3 for everytime they mention someone that isn’t playing in the current game… 10 if they say they’re washed up
  • 1 for every promo
  • start out drunk if the game is on fox
  • 2 for every Maddenism (Saying a noise “Wap”, “Boom”, “Pow”)… -1 if its from Phil Simms

Smallville Stuff

Comics Continuum had this to say about an upcoming Smallville Episode

Cyborg will be appearing in a February sweeps episode of Smallville on The WB.

“We have always liked this character from the Titans,” series executive producer Al Gough told The Continuum. “We thought he had an interesting dilemma: Am I man or machine? Have I compromised my humanity? Will I find love in this condition?

“The same themes I always loved in Robocop.”

No word yet on casting. The episode will likely be titled “Cyborg.” Cyborg follows Flash and Aquaman as DC heroes guest-starring on Smallville.

Gough is also executive producing the Aquaman pilot movie with partner Miles Millar. He said the lead role has not been cast yet.

“We are still scouring the seven seas, and a few countries, including Australia, the UK and Canada,” Gough said. “We’ve sifted through literally hundreds of auditions trying to find lightning in a bottle like we did with Tom Welling. I’ve been impressed with the talent pool, we’ve seen a lot of very interesting guys.”

I would think you could do more interesting people. We’ve kind of already had a robot on the show, an alien robot but still. And yes I know Cyborg isn’t a robot. And why does every future hero hang out in Smallville for a spell? Why can’t Clark meet them in Metropolis or something.
