Countdown to Super Bowl Blogging: Separated at Birth?

01/30/08 | by Mr. Moderator

When the New England Patriots are up 31-3 at halftime and Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers unexpectedly launch into the lugubrious "Into the Great Wide Open", the following pop culture exercise might come in handy and impress your friends.

Take a look at this interview with Patriots quarterback Tom Brady. Wait for the close ups. Pay particular attention to his mouth, also taking into consideration his flinty eyes.

Does he remind you of anyone from the worlds of both film and Constitutional Rights?

Good call! Has Brady ever told a lineman to "Take your stinking paws off me, you damn dirty ape!"

BTW: I remember thinking when the Mandom commercial first aired how much Bronson's apartment reminded me of Heston's apartment in Omega Man.

Are you suggesting Bronson and Heston were shacking up?

The apartment hasn't been built yet that could hold that much Mandom at once.

Good Fucking Grief! What I want to know is: who controls the time machine? You know, the dude who went back in time, kidnapped Heston in about 1963, drug his sorry ass to the 21st century, taught him how to throw a football... and what will happen to the time/space continuum should the two of them ever actually meet? Do you even realize the universe-shattering, aleph-null-magnitude, cosmic freakout you've caused by even making passing reference to this fuck-up?

Waitaminnit... what about this post? Oh, fuck! Aaaargh!

Sorry, but even with the stubble Brady still looks like a teenager to me. Not as bad as Romo, but he makes me feel like a geezer. I get more of a sense of Boydom from him, although I must admit that, even with the grey stubble, Brett Favre is the poster boy for Boydom.

There are two potential touchdown celebrations I’ve wanted to see for a while now, one being the use of a jetpack, which may not be technically feasible. But the other, as that news item reminded me, would be for somebody to score, position himself so his back is to the camera, remove his helmet and then turn around to reveal that he has THRILLER EYES.

It might be tough to play a whole game in those contacts, but I think TO or Donovan McNabb would have the dedication to craft to live with it if the idea ever got to them.
