Earlier this week then I saw Vince's post about the Giants going to the Super Bowl something stuck in my mind. It was that little Football in the Super Bowl Logo. This one Here:
[Image]I thought it looked familiar and then I uncovered something truly shocking. It seems that there has been a conspiracy and the football is actually one of the California Raisins who were known to many in the 80s as musicians and pitchmen for the rasin industry. This particular rasin (we'll call him Jasin) must not have invested his earnings well because an investigation revealed that he has taken this gig because he is out of work due to the writers strike in Hollywood. When reached for comment one [Image]of his fellow raisins who wished to remain annomyous insisted that Jasin is a scab and that crossing the picket line was unacceptable even for promoting the NFL. "It's just a disgrace that a fine dried fruit like Jasin would pimp himself out as a piece of pigskin for a few bucks." Here on this blog for the first time we are unmasking the culprit who has crossed the picket line and is masquerading as a football and not staying true to his raisin roots. Here is Jasin the resemblance is uncanny don't you think?

I don't know Doc ... this song keeps running through my mind ... "Too much time on my hands"

Matt Man - That is classic...Of course Larry Craig would have to be an O-lineman because they are the ones with the widest stances
Dana - Good Styx tune but are you sure the song you are thinking of isn't "I heard it through the grapevine" ?

Are you sure this isn't just sour grapes?
Or is it merely one more aspect of the subversive left wing media attack upon the decency of America?

Hey, is that a walking cast on the raisin's foot?

I'm sure ESPN will be stealing this story and presenting it as an exclusive investigation by Chris Mortenson by the end of the week.

What a good observation! Damn that rasin thing was scary looking.

Dirk -I am going with the left wing media on that one...
Jay - Maybe Mort will interview me for outside the lines?
Karen - They apparently haven't aged gracefully... Imagine that - a raisin getting wrinkled..LOL

Wow, isn't Doc a clever one?!
I actually thought the same thing when TMC posted it (being from Califonia and all) but never thought a thing about it! ;-)
I agree with Jay...ESPN will surely claim this for themselves.
