All part of the world-wide conspiracy. Dylan Murphy knows the truth - he survived The Cereal Famine. Couldn’t get a bowl anywhere.

“So you still have nachos and beer though? Not a total loss.”
==
Lemme tell you about my prep for watching the 1980 NFL Hall Of Fame Bowl, the San Diego Chargers v. Green Bay Packers.

I was up for the first preseason game, but since it was preseason I decided on my quick run to the store to go for cheap on the beer and chips, grabbing a sixpack of generic beer and whatever chip-thingees were on sale.

So I get home sprawl out on the couch and start munching on the el cheapo chips. My gawd - they tasted like a sick cow’s morning breath. So I open up a can of the el cheapo generic beer to wash it down. That wasn’t much help, I didn’t notice it was non-alchohol near-beer. Insult added to injury.

So I think, “at least there was still the game” and proceeded to watch a boring 0 - 0 tie game which was ended early due to the lightning storm that had moved in.

So the thing was a total wash for me all around, lol.

the guy just spoke to the audience.

YOU’RE GETTING A REFUND!!

No ####ing duh. HOW ABOUT A 50 GIFT CARD FOR EVERYONE WHO SHOWED UP!!

Some came from very far.

The NFL is so ####ing greedy they had to have events both nights before.

They are ALL about the money and now I’m glad the players get the money they do.

None of them (Besides the kickers) is every the same after retirement.

I read horror stories.

Some years they have had high school playoffs there. I attended one in 2000 and 2001. Not sure if it’s continued or not, I don’t live there and my high school went out of business.

I am really glad I dumped my NFL Sunday Ticket! A league ran by pussies and a game now played by thugs.

Are you going to risk hundreds of million of dollars of football players breaking an ankle during a preseason game? No coach in his right mind would risk that.

None of the big name players would have even played. It would have been mostly guys who are going to be cut in the next few weeks.

The country is and has been going to hell and the most important thing to most citizens is-—whether they can sit, burp and slobber down pizza, while those who can’t spell (and collect millions of dollars) are going to play a game-—America has been shot for a long, long time-—cheers

Unacceptable. NFL needs to compensate fans for tonight’s cancelled game.

the funniest thing is that Toma's said his grass is the highest in his own neighborhood because he is constantly fixing other messes in MLB, NFL and soccer around the world ... he has no time to do his own lawn..

Just like The Cobbler's Children have no shoes.

I'm getting the shakes and bugs are crawling on my arms. I was even watching Canadian football (110 yard field and 20 yard end zones so less of the stadium is oot of boonds) for my addiction.

I almost got tickets from a friend of a friend for the game. I'm glad I didn't get them.

You could have watched Olympic Women's Rugby ...... LOL!

I bet there wasn't one straight female on the field for that one.
