Color Rush jerseys on a Sunday? What’s up with that? Not only that, but they were hideous. I’m not a fan of the blue jerseys with the thick red stripes on the shoulder pads, and I never will be. That’s a promise. Let’s save color rush for Thursdays.
The Clay Matthews pistachio commercials were hilarious. They were stupid, but funny nonetheless. Each subsequent insult to those guys sitting in the chair with an empty stare on their faces landed, and it got a chuckle out of me every time.
Speaking of commercials, what’s up with that commercial where the Dan Bilzerian lookalike offers champagne to a dog with majestic blond hair? I’ll admit I don’t blame Mr. Bilzerian for offering a fancy drink to who he thinks is an eligible bachelorette, but I don’t think I needed to watch it 10 times.
Rob Gronkowski is unstoppable as a receiver, but he made it clear today that he’s equally as dominant as a lead blocker. On Brandin Cooks’ touchdown, Gronk cleared a path for Cooks, who held onto Gronk’s jersey and followed him directly into the endzone. Reminds me of the scumbags who tailgate an ambulance in traffic, except I love Brandin Cooks.
Lastly, I may have been the only person in the world who noticed this, but one of the referees threw the ball to another referee and his arm action couldn’t have been worse. He made Uncle Rico look like Vince Young.
