A Great Man Once Said...

A great man-- well, one great enough to remember the sound his balls made slapping against a pre-knocked up Angelina Jolie's ass -- once said "Marketing is the devil!"
Well I think Bill Bob was right, and it is sticking its pitchfork up the rump of USA Rugby.

I meant to write this earlier, but it about USA Rugby's reaction to the Eagles game in Charleston and their game coming up this weekend where they once again will be playing Angelina to Munster's Bill Bob balls-slapping.
Go to USA Rugby and read the press about the ASM game and the upcoming game, it's a joke and a disservice to rugby fans, those who did not attend and -- to be frank -- my profession.

"After dominating early possession," is the first offending phrase in the ASM piece, and it goes on and gets worse. The whole piece talks about how close the game was, how ASM couldn't contain the young Eagles side etc, etc.
I appreciate that the piece was written for USA Rugby and is basically a PR release, but at what point is it good for the development of rugby to bullshit the public about how poor the Beagles were compared to those Auverene Surrender Monkeys.
I know the girl who wrote his piece, I watched her write it in the press box that night. And in her defense she is hot, works in rugby and had a wicked ACL surgery scar.
But to look at that game and claim the Eagles were anything other than second-rate is wrong.

Soccer makes this mistake constantly, hyping up how great they are rather than admitting they are mostly shit.
USA Rugby needs to embrace the doo-doo as Billy Bob did Angelinass.
I know I defended the Beagles, and this game was a great step but I hate hyping up of facts especially when the outcome was not the story of this game.
Look at the score and know that 13 on 15 the Eagles still couldn't break down this side.
Anyway, you get my point.

Oh and while I'm on USA Rugby....

...they has started abbreviating the female Eagles team as the WNTs.
Women's National Team, WTF?
Can we find no better, no more attractive name/euphemism for these beefy bitches.
Now, I know the placement of "women's rugby" and "attractive" in the same sentence is somewhat unusual. But, like a beer-goggled social attendee you have to make some effort to find something worth using.
I also hate Women's Eagles. Do we have to be that PC!?
What is wrong with the "Eagle Chicks?"
