Help me stick it to the Pats.

October 12, 2007 8:25 PM

I'm going to the Dallas Cowboys vs New England Patriots football game this weekend. I'm a Dallas fan sitting in the endzone, and the game will be broadcast on CBS. Please suggest some clever pro-Dallas signs.

I figure a CBS acronym is a good bet. The Patriots' cheating scandal seems ripe for parody. Ultimately, it's just gotta be funny. Thanks.

I forgot to mention that my current best idea is:
Coach
Belichick:
Shameless.

Howdy, Bill: A Little Lower and to the Left.

(Or right, depending on where the Cowboy bench is relative to you.)

That's good. Maybe a test pattern or something?

Dress up like a robot and hold up a sign that reads "Romo Arigato" whenever Romo throws a touchdown pass.

I think a bunch of fake cameras in a crowd would be great. Maybe a big fake one that says "Smile Bill!" Or do people not remember that show?

Romo is my quarterback but Gore is my fantasy pick.

First, The "cheating" scandal is old, and means nothing to a Pats fan, so don't even bother with that theme. Second be prepared to be soaked with beer whenever you stand and shout for your team. Third. You'll not be surrounded by anybody with an Arrivederci Romo sign, (Pats fans are not a literate bunch).

try: Pats Undefeated? Now that's Fantasy Football

If it were any other quarterback, I might make a

Can't
Brady
Score?

sign, but I suspect that sign will become obsolete in the first couple minutes of the game.

Is there some literary name for writing ABC, CBS, NBC, ESPN, etc. signs? There needs to be one. Signku is my nomination.

Too long probably but the first thing I thought was something like "Hey Belichick, get my good side!"

Note: the game is in Dallas. Your question lists them second, which makes people think it's an away game for Dallas.

Your question lists them second, which makes people think it's an away game for Dallas.

I listed them first, which made people think it was an away game, but, yeah, you're right.

I appreciate all the suggestions. The game was fun, despite the outcome. I ended up going with "Romo Arigoto" on one side, and my original idea on the other. I illustrated it with a drawing of the devil handing a Superbowl trophy to Belichick. The poster's folded in half, but you can see the drawing here.
