Bobby Kielty of the Oakland A's is congratulated by his team after belting a grand slam. The A's are leading their division by 6 and a half games.
In an unprecedented move, National Football League Commissioner Roger Goodell announced today that the remainder of the season is cancelled.
"It's simply too boring," Goodell stated in a whirlwind press conference. "We've decided that we can't compete with Major League Baseball. We give up."
Goodell's decision comes during a baseball season that finds the Oakland Athletics on top of the American League West and cruising into the playoffs. Meanwhile, the San Francisco Giants and Barry (I thought it was Ben Gay) Bonds seem bent on tanking their season as they find themselves 4 and a half games off the division lead behind the Padres and the Dodgers.
"Both of these things the fans find exciting," Goodell went on to say. "Who wants to see teams like the New Orleans Saints winning? It's just not fresh. It's just not exciting. We've exploited Katrina for all it's worth already."
So, there you have it football fans, football season is cancelled. So, turn to baseball instead. Or, there's always college football. But, this season is done (pay no attention to the fake games they show on TV. They're as real as the shots of our astronauts on the moon.).

Laurence, how are you? Feeling better yet? Been thinking about you all day...
I wouldn't want you to have your gall bladder removed only to suddenly become this totally pleasant, non controversial kind of guy...

Works for me, I'd rather watch baseball than football any day of the week!
