Things That Should Not Be Purple

1. Wrigley Field.

I know it's cool and all that, but this just looks so wrong to me.

ps. The ivy (dead) has been covered with pads printed with ivy. Gak.

Fact: Wrigley Field is older than the color purple.

 

Also the offenses will only play in one direction to avoid conflict with the wall. It's an exercise in fail.

 

One end zone:

3. Chilly

 

What a debacle. They will only use one end zone for safety concerns?

That's like buying a new couch and thinking it will fit but when you get it home it's too big for the living room.

 

That's ridiculous. Watch the wind be blowing in 30+ mph against the offenses and we'll end up with a 2-0 football game.

Of course, we're fairly well versed in debacles happening in Wrigley Field, so maybe this is no surprise after all.

 

Wow.

 

And I really thought this was going to be a thread about the Vikings and perhaps their diva QB when I first saw it.

 

Thinking of re-starting this thread every Friday. Endless possibilities. (Next week's answer: Leftover Turkey. Or My Mother's Face When She Sees My Niece's Nose Ring.)

 

OK, with one end zone, how do you do a pick-6 or a fumble return?

 

There actually is an endzone, so they can do that stuff...but they won't direct play that way. How pissed will fans be that got the "fake endzone" tickets?
