Deadspin Deadspins Again...

... and doesn't realize it may have made a much bigger statement than the one they thought they made.

In the spirit of the racy Carl's Jr. commercial and the pulled GoDaddy one for this year's Super Bowl, Deadspin decided to take the joke and remove all remaining pretense.

So, this morning, they published THEIR "Super Bowl Commercial", and couldn't understand for the life of them how 25 seconds of hardcore man-on-top porn would not be airable...

Of course, much of this is a joke, and, yes, Deadspin did mark this as clearly Not Safe For Work.

The thing is, Deadspin, you actually made a very important point when you probably didn't intend to.

And, for that, I would like to make an announcement.

I will be watching Super Farce XLIX -- with a notebook in hand at my local sports bar.

If there's an incident, I will write it down and cover it.

I do, however, also intend to look at the last hour or two before the game and chronicle whether there is such an imbalance as there was last year between which team gets covered.

Another thing I plan to look at is the commercials -- not only to see if the league tries to allow some homophobic anti-abortion anti-Michael Sam piece of shit to get a plum spot, but also...

I recall the first time I began to hear this in the media, in which an uncomfortable parent (and, at some point, this even included ESPN's Mike Greenberg) to have to explain to the parent's child(ren) just what Viagra, Cialis, and Erectile Dysfunction actually are!

In a season of spousal abuse, child abuse (and if me yelling at that No More ad during the game doesn't get me thrown out of the place, I either walked out to the bathroom or I didn't do enough of it!  What a fucking farce that is!!), etc. and so forth and so on...

Without realizing it, Deadspin, you just gave the NFL's position (go ahead and giggle at the word choice) on women when you did that parody commercial.

And Roger Goodell doesn't give a damn.

That's what's going to make eviscerating tomorrow's State of the NFL Address so priceless.

I can't wait, you lying motherfucker.  Tell us how many lies there are for the State of the NFL...
