FOX 6 Blitz is the funniest show on television.
If you have not watched FOX 6 Blitz, you are missing out on what is perhaps the most entertaining half hour show on television. For those who do not what FOX 6 Blitz is, it's a local show that covers the Green Bay Packers every Sunday night during football season. It is hosted by Tom Pipines, Jen Lada, and Tim Van Vooren. The best part of show is when each of the three give their grades for the Packers offense, defense, and special teams. Usually, Tom Pipines will give the Packers a D+ and then say something along the lines like, "even though the Packers scored 35 points, they only had 65 rushing yards. Simply not a good team. I don't know how they can possibly compete in the play offs." Meanwhile, I nearly die from laughter. Never has a sports show been so entertaining. Then he'll go on some tangent about how, "Wisconsin's own Tony Romo is the greatest quarterback in the history of the game," much to the amusement of every one else.
Tom Pipines always has to stress the point that Tony Romo is from Wisconsin, because some how it is a victory for the state that we produced such a fine athlete! Bah! Then he'll go, "I know the Packers are 13 -3, but they're simply not a good football team." Then Jen and Tim nod their heads, knowing it is best to remain silent, rather than set Pip off on another tangent.
At the end of each show, Tom, Jen, and Tim give their MVPs from the game. Jen seems to choose Mason Crosby every other week. To her credit Mason Crosby has scored the most points in the NFL. However, probably her most memorable choice came last football season in the New Years Eve game against the Bears in which she picked Rex Grossman as the game's MVP. He did after all throw two interceptions for touch downs in that game. Poor Rex Grossman.
Meanwhile, Tom Pipines usually says something along the lines of, "Well even though Greg Jennings had two touch down passes, he still dropped a few balls. Therefore, I give him a B -. And the only reason why he's my MVP is because I gave every one else on the team a D. Simply not a good football team."
Tim usually picks Donald Driver or some other veteran on the team. Very rarely do they pick Brett Favre, which is probably good, because there's been way too much Brett Favre slurping this entire season, especially by Tony Kornheiser.
It's pretty sad that once this football season ends, there will be no Fox 6 Blitz for a long time. How will I live with out knowing what grade Tom, Jen, and Tim will give the Packers? I do not know!
Simply not a good football team.
PS: Tom Pipines has not used the phrase, "Simply not a good football team" at all this season. He did however say it a lot a couple of season ago. Then he gave every one on the Packers an F.
Meanwhile, Wisconsin's own Tony Romo was sitting on a bench watching Drew Bledsoe play with that stupid grin on his face.
