Borsch Tweets the SuperBowl

Cocktail weenies, pizza rolls, mozzarella sticks and chip and dip. I am ready for the commericals. Baseball starts soon.

As I should have suspected, Borsch is almost fanatical about not being interested in football. It's all the more tragic because as a big, fat, dumb guy, he's practically already the perfect football fan.

Super Bowl prediction: Cliff Lee will throw for two TDs and run for another.

Guuuuuuuuwhaaaaaat??? But Cliff Lee is a baseball player! What a zany prediction! Seriously though... this guy can't enjoy one football game - the biggest of the year - without pining for baseball at every turn?

I like Joe Buck. A baseball guy.

No, he can't.

Joe Buck is the human equivalent of an early sports-talk video game that only has two phrases for any one activity. A player walks onto the field? "Here comes X." A player does something? "Here's X" or just "X." A pass is made over the middle? "Over the MIDDLE!" He's a boring, stiff, humorless dope.

Borsch loves him.

My stepson was cheering for the result of the coin toss. I don't know what else to say about that.

Because it's a fun part of the game? It's as much a part of football as, say, a pinch hitter is a part of baseball.

A-Rod at the Super Bowl. Well, I guess that could be considered some baseball news.

The heck? I don't spend the World Series eagerly awaiting a one-minute shot of Peyton Manning.

Now that we've had a look at A-Rod, can a shot of somebody feeding Boog Powell hotdogs be far behind?

I had to google Boog Powell to get this reference. He's a baseball player, of course. And he's fat. Therein lies the comedy.

Anytime a commercial can get by with saying the word "rack," well . . . .

Oooh, the word "rack" is so racy! How do they get away with this stuff, right?

I think Cliff Lee probably would have put on a better halftime show.

This is not only the sixth baseball reference, but the second Lee reference. If baseball references were the "joke" of these SuperBowl tweets, I'd say they've worn rather thin by now.

Al Swearingen playing Blackbeard in the next Pirates movie.

Apparently a reference to a character from the HBO show Deadwood whose name is actually Al Swearengen. I've never seen the show, but this is proof that an Internet search engine can spell better than Borsch.
