...and now I'm afraid to stop holding my sides. Let's move on.
Given that this is the NFL's third major injury to an internal organ -- discounting the usual suspects of concussions and gunshot wounds, of course -- and we've only made it through Week 5, I thought it only appropriate to take a look at the internal organ injuries we're destined to see as the season unfolds.
Matt Leinart, inflamed liver: Some people might think Kyle Orton would be the favorite here. Hell no. Orton is a drinking god. He lives in Chicago and has Midwestern roots, which anyone knows is a pedigree for drinking like a champion. Leinart, on the other hand, is from Orange County originally, then he went to USC. So he grew up with rich douchebags, then went to school with rich douchebags. And rich douchebags can swing prescription drugs that do liver damage when combined with alcohol. Besides, if you don't think Paris Hilton's vagina is crawling with Hepatitis-C, I have some real estate I'd like to show you.

Bill Parcells, breast cancer: This is just wishful thinking on my part. I keep hoping he'll get a double mastectomy for decency's sake.
David Carr, punctured lung: This guy gets sacked 80 times a game and has somehow survived fairly intact. When he finally breaks, he's not just going to get cracked ribs: I'm positive that a broken rib will pierce his lung. Hell, I'd say 10-1 he goes one better and gets his xiphoid process detached by Cato June and ends up dying from internal bleeding on the field. Which is probably preferable to playing QB for the Texans.
Ben Roethlisberger, hydroencephalitis: Yeah, I think Big Ben's gonna come down with some brain inflammation. Why, you ask? Well, why not? Don't you get the feeling that he belongs in a remake of the Simpsons episode where Mr. Burns puts together the All-Star ringer softball team? When I think radiation sickness and gigantism, I think Roethlisburger's next illness.

Eli Manning, ovarian cysts: See what I did there? I insinuated that Eli was a woman and therefore unfit for the bruising nature of the NFL. Frankly, I've yet to see either insinuation disproven.

Terrell Owens, disemboweled: This might be just more wishful thinking on my part after the woeful failure of Philly fans to kill T.O. on Sunday. But Sean Taylor and his prison shiv preserve my dream of seeing T.O.'s small intestines on the gridiron.
I'm sure this list is only the tip of the digestive tract, though. As always, we welcome your thoughts and oversensitivity in the comments, so feel free to add your guesses as to which organs will need replacing before Super Bowl XLI. In the meantime, I suggest the NFL start searching out inventive new ways of healing.

From your mouth to Parcell's ears. I feel dirty watching him coach without a bra.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the name of a throat replacement? That is what TK and Theisman would need if I really could reach through my TV screen and throttle them on Monday night.
Excellent post, CC.
Aaaaaaaaaaaahahahaa.
ReplyDeleteBill Parcells’ breasts haunt me in my sleep.
it's funny cuz it's true/sad
someone get him a bro/manzier.
I think it's about time the master learned from the student, and Parcells adopted Belichek's hoodie look.
ReplyDeleteFor God's sake the Cowboy's cheerleaders are getting jealous.
If Parcells does start wearing the BRO, maybe he can send an extra one to Charlie Weis. That man is gets fatter every second on the TV.
ReplyDeleteAt some point in the season I expect Tuna to grab a crying and babbling TO to his ample bussom and suckle him until the fit subsides.
ReplyDeleteIT'S DANGEROUS TO GO ALONE!
ReplyDeleteTAKE THIS.
this from fanball site
ReplyDelete"Packers guard Jason Spitz returned to practice on Tuesday just two days after he was taken to the hospital while coughing up blood. Spitz told the Green Bay Press-Gazette that doctors determined he has suffered a small tear in his esophagus. "
It does seem that there is an inordinate amount of internal injuries....kids these days are pussys on the inside too!
When I cough up blood, it's from the 175,000 cigarettes I smoked the night before.
ReplyDeleteOoph.
Did anyone catch Marcus Washington vomiting on the field during the Skins-Stupid Giants game last sunday? No chunks, but it was still pretty great.
ReplyDeleteI don't think even the Zelda fairy could keep the inevitable from happening to Urlacher at this point.
ReplyDeleteJake Plummer- Suicide by hanging=after he gets yanked for Jay C. OR shot to death driving on I-70= some fan making Coach TanMan's job a whole lot easier.
ReplyDelete8hrdrive, you beat me to it -- although I bet Plummer would be more likely to get shot on I-25.
ReplyDeletePeyton Manning will get polyps on the voice box from screaming out all the audibles.
Tom Brady holding a goat scares me. That said, I'm still holding out for Shawneeee Merrimans melon point to either a) impale a running back, and Gore is the next likely victim, or b) erupt like a volcano.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I have most of those hu-man parts you speak of, why must you make fun of them.
I'd also like to point out that I'm NOT a millionaire, nor am I famous, yet I've never taken a date to Chili's. I also use condoms. I don't see what's so great about Urlacher's "mojo."
ReplyDeleteChili's isn't shitty because it's cheap; it's shitty because it's a cookie-cutter chain restaurant.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you should rename yourself bbqcan'tthinkofanythingwitty.
Say what you will about Parcells, but he was great in "Fight Club."
ReplyDeleteWhat? That was Meat Loaf?
