    "Football.
    Not this Madden Shit!
    Just plain-ass normal, every-day, no question about it, no N.F.L. no year, not named after a player, not named after a coach, not named after the referee's pet goldfish,no quarterback, dime back, nickle back, simple ordinary, unembellished, unmistakable, crystal-clear, as frank as frankenstein, as blunt as an atom BOMB,
    one compound word!
    It's motherfucking goddamn, sonsabitchen, fuck, Fuck, FUCKIN' FOOTBALL!!!
    UNNGH!!!"

      These dumbfucks are probably playing COD while they wait on Pokemon GO right now.... XD
