There's nothing more trying to the sports fan then the seemingly endless two-week run-up to the Stupid Bowl. Not only is the media full of personal interest stories you also have to deal with the inevitable sideshows and lunacy that's a result of untalented sports writers running out of things to say about a less-than-compelling matchup.
In short, it sucks.
This could all go away and the game could be played the week after the Conference Championship Games if the Stupid Bowl had anything to do with Football. We all know by now that it doesn't.
The Stupid Bowl is about money and silly, petty people throwing 'pimp n' ho' balls, getting way to drunk and local citizens heading to parties that they can't afford during a recession in order to maybe 'get a hook-up' with someone who's marginally famous. A borderline celeb such as Kathy Griffen would be a queen at these parties because, well, she's someone that the drunk masses have seen before on TV. Kevin Federline has been seen at Stupid Bowl parties for crying out loud.
When the Stupid Bowl came to Houston we were greeted with Gina Gaston in fishnets.
Somebody, somewhere has to put an end to this madness before the cliches get out of hand.
