Is this the greatest overuse of superlatives ever?

Post by KyCardinalFan »

ESPN

Were the Patriots going to be the best team ever?
Was Manning's scramble the biggest play of the game?
Was that the best catch in Super Bowl history?
Is this the biggest upset ever in the Super Bowl?
(To which someone answered:)
It's not only the biggest upsets in the NFL, maybe in all of sports.
Will the Patriots go down as the biggest choke job?

I wish they would have shown Gisele with her red wine and Peyton looking dressy some more, I got bored seeing so much football and so little crowd time.

Showing Shockey was awesome. He looked like a frat boy on a bender.

Shockey is one of those guys that just exudes "douche".

I don't know why you say that, MD. Just because of the long, flowing hair, the stubble, the tats, the backwards hat, the foul language...

He exudes confidence.

Permission to use the phrase "exudes douche" please? I have been looking for new ways to use "douche" on a daily basis. I even replaced the word "dude" like in the Bud Light commercials with "douche".
