Do professional sports teams have tattoo artists on staff like they do trainers and doctors and such?
This grandpa gave his oldest grandson an Eli Manning jersey for Christmas. How prescient was that? Real prescient, except all the credit goes to the grandson, Mack, who picked the Giants as his team to win it all back at the beginning of the season. (And yes, he picked the Colts last year and the Steelers the year before!)
Mack has a Tom Brady jersey, too. (And Favre, Romo and Peyton Manning.)
Until I looked it up, after listening to Joe Buck and Troy Aikman for a couple of hours, I thought Plaxicoburress was the guy’s surname. Were there some other Burresses I didn’t know about that we needed to hear the whole name EVERY time? But then again Buck would never use one word where two would do.
Oh, and there are two Mannings in the NFL. Manning and Elimanning.
I think Plaxico Burress sounds like a plastics conglomerate.
Perhaps more annoying by every TV play by play guy is calling Ben Roethlisberger “Ben” or Brett Favre “Brett.”
Can they not pronounce their last names, or are they just such good friends with the two quarterbacks that they are on a first-name basis with them? Peyton (er… Peyton Manning) is starting to get the same treatment.
