That was the stupidest and funniest ending to a football game I have ever seen. The only way it could have been more ridiculous is if giant Pop-Tarts had been involved.

Begrudgingly, I observe that broadcast parade coverage has come a long way. Now the only thing more boring than a televised parade is televised golf.

I’m pretty sure I have seen this one (because Christian Bale) but it’s weird how I don’t remember much of it. Maybe my colonizer ancestry guilt complex blocked it out?
