2009- A Year in Review

The Allied forces had no idea what they were in for.

(Ed. Note: Having missed the year-end bandwagon for 2008, we at The Differ decided to do 2009 year-end special to beat the inevitable rush. Here's the first installment:)


Jan- Feb.


The Steelers’ emboweling (that’s right emboweling-a little know torture technique used by the Bavarians in WWII where they would stuff their captures with Marzipan Joy-Joys for allied positions) of the Arizona Cardinals was marked by the mass unloading of the Buzzsaw bandwagon. In the chaos, Matt Leinart somehow pulled his groin in two places. The newly-injured quarterback drowned his sorrows in a fifth of vodka and a kiddie-pool of coeds. The corpse of Kurt Warner rejoices.


Craig Bolerjack’s frustrated producer challenges the play-by-play man to not say “double double” more than once per Jazz broadcast. After mention of Paul Millsap in the pre-game show, Bolerjack is never heard from again (literally). Bumbling Ron Boone welcomes a “slightly-buzzed” Hot Rod Hundley back from radio purgatory in the third quarter. (This bit would be more effective if someone would post sometime.)


After the NFL combines, former-BYU receiver Austin Collie thanks “[his] Heavenly Father” for his 4.6 forty and Wonderlic score of 12.

(Part 2 to come sometime in the next 36 months or so.)
