Around SBN: Jeremy Lin And How The Pac-12 Missed Him

The Onion nails it: "Redskins Hold Press Conference To Announce They Are Still Sort Of A Football Team"

This is pretty funny.

Washington Redskins head coach Jim Zorn held a press conference Sunday to reassure fans that, despite an inability to effectively execute their offense, defense, or special teams, the Redskins were still somewhat comparable to a real football team. "It's been a tough season so far, and even though we are 2-4, we still have players, uniforms, Motorola headsets—all the components that technically constitute an NFL team, sort of," Zorn said while grimacing and making a "so-so" gesture with his hand. 

 "Sure, I was stripped of play-calling responsibilities by team management, and I really don't have any clue who will play quarterback for us this Sunday, but I swear to you, in a weird, very convoluted way, we are in the NFL." Placing his hand over the microphone, Zorn then spoke briefly with an unidentified man near the stage, and announced that, for what it's worth, the organization owns the Internet domain name washingtonredskins.com through 2010.

Dead on.

Just because you know how to read, doesn't mean you'll like the book.

Without our sense of humor

intact during these dark days, we would truly be lost.

using a spork and have had all sharp instruments removed from the premises.

Late breaking newsflash! Sherman will relay plays to new onfield Coach!

I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.

So original!

What an original post – oh wait, no it’s not. It’s like you are…acting.

Yeah,

I laughed when I saw that.

And then I cried.

And then I posted it to my Facebook profile.

I have a shrine dedicated to Mark Reynolds, wherein I keep his bobblehead, signed baseball, and jersey T-shirt.
