Sports fans, how 'bout that Halliburton bowl game?
What a game, huh? Neither the KBR Profiteers or the Blackwater Torturers actually had a winning season, but that didn't stop some dude named Scalia from making these 2 teams the top seeds. You gotta admit, having no referees makes for one exciting football game. The Profiteers quarterback, Billy McBobby, having won the Heistman Trophy through some questionable balloting, was in great form. He threw 17 touchdown passes in the first 9 quarters. But the Torturers had their star running back, Shameless Cheater, run for over 550 yards and 12 touchdowns in the first 7 quarters. I'm glad Fox Sports carried it because nobody calls a game better than the "fair & balanced" network. What an ending. With time literally out with only 72 minutes left to play, McBobby tosses a Hail Jesus into the end zone and the Profiteers prevailed 144 to 143.

I won a ton on that game.

1. Man, that was so good...
I could picture it just as if I was watching it on my General Electric television on the GE Network.
