Two 2-Man Teams Enter, One 2-Man Team Leave

by Triumphantly Jenny

I officially challenge The Shark’s indie football 2-man team of Shark/Favre with my team–Jenny/Butkus. Sure, Dick Butkus no longer has knees, pretty much. Sure, he’s a senior citizen. But he once killed a man without touching him on the field, only through fearsomeness. He will wreak havoc upon your backfield, bitch.

He also directed the XFL, the last indie football league in America, and he’s been on the Rockford Files AND MacGyver, which gives him more indie cred than a skinny jeaned boy in a summer scarf in Williamsburg. He’s the most feared man in the game. He’s basically the Chuck Norris of football. And he’s my partner. Watch out, now, Shark, you’re a New York boy getting caught in a Chicago/Green Bay rivalry!

Football and indie music aren’t that far apart. After all it was my beloved Chicago Bears who had a popular indie hit with the “Super Bowl Shuffle.”

An independently produced song that donates all the proceeds to the needy? Who can’t like that?
