Understanding our obsession with quarterbacks

October 22nd, 2011 by Chris Humpherys

Tony and Dan spoof Brett Favre spoofing LeBron James. Confused yet? (video)

January 20th, 2011 by Chris Humpherys

While our two most ‘beloved’ athletes made decisions this year that altered the course of  our nation’s history and shifted the earth’s axis, two less-talked about gentlemen took it upon themselves to spoof them both in spectacular fashion.

In 2010, we talked endlessly about Brett Favre’s decisions to retire, retire and retire once more.  Then his package went viral, the result of an ill-advised text message.  LeBron’s decision to leave Cleveland was the sports story of the year.  Later, the marketing geniuses at Nike made us empathize with LeBron’s plight in their “What Should I Do?” commercial.

Well, Tony and Dan have combined these two tales in a stroke of comedic genius.  I wish I could take credit for this but I am merely a conduit.

Let’s have the boys’ handiwork speak for itself, shall we?  Nice work, gentlemen, and once again, children…. EARMUFFS!

SportsChump would like to introduce a new, interactive feature called the Hail or Rail Scale (name subject to change based upon better suggestions from readers).  It’ll be a weekly, or monthly, or every-so-oftenly barometer where we quantify how much we love or hate certain figures in sports and entertainment.

November 6th, 2010 by Chris Humpherys
