The Glen Issue

Green Bay are still better than Detroit. New York still aren’t as good as we thought. Philly are still sneaking wins to stay alive. Chicago still suck. Are you bored of the Superburrl yet? I hope not because LIVE FROM NEW YORK IT’S SATURDAY NIGHT!

Hopefully that got your attention.

Yep. The more observant of you will notice Chan and I decided to cut three franchises. We needed to shake things up. (I wonder when the dropped franchises will notice.) If it’s not blatantly obvious, here’s why:

Chuck Klosterman talks about the NFL being America’s most progressive, socialist organization. I wanted to apply the same Marxist ideals. Y’ feel me? Chan on the other hand was applying Ari Gold ideals – split the profits four ways instead of seven. Four franchises. Settled. Four. Like the Fantastic Four? Yeah? Some Jessica Alba Superburrl action. Y’ feel me?

Then we had another little parlez. We decided on one more franchise. A new franchise. And one that will never challenge even the Bears or Lions for the Lomburrdi trophy – a point that Chan and I both felt was pertinent. That makes it one more than four franchises. It’s makes it five franchises. Five franchises! Five. The Fantastic Five. Definitely FIVE. So without further ado…

1:35am – I’m having a celebratory bowl of cereal.

Strange thoughts have been running through my head lately during my day-to-day. Leaving the flat, I often worry that a robber will break in and steal my laptop and the two hard drives I’ve backed up my footage on. Driving, I often worry that I will be involved in a road traffic accident that would at the very least cut into my free time for editing and at the very worst kill me, which of course would mean I wouldn’t be able to finish the film at all.

Currently FCE is exporting the the first cut of my film and it apparently will take "about 2 hours".

1:41am – I’m thinking about getting another bowl of cereal.

Cleveland Browns  37
Detroit Lions  38

Atlanta Falcons  31
New York Giants  34

Philadelphia Eagles  24
Chicago Bears  20

It’s been a while. A lot has changed. I moved to Blackburn for three months. Burrows got a 1st Class Honours degree from QUB, majoring in Finance and minoring in portfolios. Phil came out as a Jets fan.  Porter’s arms got even bigger. You will also notice three franchises just couldn’t cut the mustard any more. They couldn’t handle the late nights of partying that came with knowing Burrows or Chan and so pussied out.

One thing that has not changed is our collective zeal for the Lomburrdi Trophy.
