A week or two after we posted our initial NFL Broadcaster Cliché Bingo card it occurred to us that, having created only one card,
we had doomed our legions of bingo-crazy readers to play against each
other using the exact same phrases. Folks would be filling out all the
same spaces at the very same time, with only minor variations based on
deafness, channel-flipping, or bathroom breaks, so virtually every bingo
game would end in a tie.
While
it’s heartwarming to think that such an oversight might inadvertently
foster a sense of teamwork and cooperation among our readers—and,
eventually, among football fans and then people of all creeds and colors
from all walks of life—we think it’s a bit silly to even bother playing
a game you have virtually no chance of winning.
That’d basically be like playing for the 2008 Detroit Lions, and nobody deserves that—except maybe for the 2011 Indianapolis Colts.
Don’t be like those losers.1 Be a winner—pick up a bingo card, find a game on TV, and kick some ass, bingo-player style.

.
. . okay, we admit that we don’t have any idea how playing bingo could
possibly have anything to do with the notion of “kicking ass.” But we’re
willing to admit that it’s probably technically possible, and we’re
sure you’ll do your best. Go get ’em, Sport.
