Althouse: "Extinct cowboys. Broncos with no buck left in them. Hairless men. Female entrepreneurs. The evidence is all there. Keep it up, NFL."

February 3, 2014

"Extinct cowboys. Broncos with no buck left in them. Hairless men. Female entrepreneurs. The evidence is all there. Keep it up, NFL."

"Ten thousand more Super Bowls and we'll be even."

Hanna Rosin does the math in an item titled "Our First Feminist Super Bowl."

If this is the first feminist superbowl than you only need XLVI to be even. Assuming that the unit we're using is "Superbowls" rather than some kind of resentment phlogistons.; 2/3/14, 12:04 PM

Yes! Indeed! Reading too much into it!

Heartless Aztec said...: The NFL as a product is excruciating to deal with over an entire season. The Super Bowl by way of extrapolation is the penultimate flush. Bring on the Tidy Bowl.; 2/3/14, 12:36 PM
