The Showdown: Mexican vs. Jew
There’s plenty of exciting NFL action today, but our eyes are set on one matchup in particular: this afternoon’s NFC Easy showdown between the Cowboys and Giants. It’s Eli Not-a-Manning vs. Tony Romosexual. It’s fat-ass Wade vs. angry Tom. And it’s Mexican vs. Jew.
We’re not referring to the fanbases of these respective teams, although there are a lot of Mexicans who parade around in Cowboys garb and even more Jews who watch their G-Men along with a delicious spread of bagels and lox. We’re instead referring to an interoffice rivalry here at the GSF that came to a head this past week.
A few days ago, Intern Dave — the Mexican in question — approached one of the GSF’s creators (Henry the hairy Jew) about making a wager on the game. As bloggers, naturally neither had cash to put down, so the group needed to get creative:
If the Giants lose, Henry will be forced to parade down historic Hollywood Boulevard in nothing but a Cowboys jersey and tightie-whities, his hairy legs displayed in all of their splendor. But if the G-men somehow find a way to beat Dallas, Intern Dave will have to take a similar stroll down the Boulevard in nothing more than a Giants jersey and his skivvies, begging for money to buy Tony Romo a new Ed Hardy shirt.
Risky? Absolutely. Homoerotic? Perhaps. But once you go this far down the rabbit hole, there’s no backing out.
So as they say: let the games begin. Because the only thing better than winning a divisional game this late in the season is having the chance to kick your rival square in the nuts when he’s down and out.
And with that, enjoy some commentary on the Cowboys-Giants playoff matchup a few years ago:
