I went up in the mountains over the weekend and saw four guys dressed in different football jerseys arguing back and forth. I gots close enuff to hear what they wuz fussin’ about.
The guy in a Bengals’ jersey said he was the most loyal fan and to prove it he put on a parachute and jumped off the side of the mountain yelling, “Bengals are No. 1.”
A guy in a Steelers jersey said, “Uh-uh. I’m the most loyal fan and to prove it I’ll jump off the mountain.”
So, he put on a parachute and jumped and yelled, “Steelers are the No. 1 team of all-time.”
All that was left standing wuz a Browns fan and a Ravens fan. The Browns fan said, “I am the most loyal fan of all fans and I’m gonna prove it.”
And he put on the last parachute and pushed the Ravens fan off the mountain.
I thinks I sees the Dawg Pound all jumpin’ fer joy.
Ennywho, last week I wuz 11-4 to bring the season mark to 56-20. This week looks even tougher.
