Giants Superfan License Plate Guy Vs. The Boogermobile Is The Best Rivalry In Football
One of my favorite things about this NFL season has been the Boogermobile. ESPN thinking that they had to build a contraption that would give Booger McFarland a fresh perspective on the game so he could unleash hot takes like “Matt Ryan is an elite quarterback” and “Nate Solder is making $15 million this season” 100 different times or that Odell Beckham Jr. is a diva because he pees in toilet bowls is about as ridiculous as airing a show with the name Barstool in it, canceling it after one episode, and then saying you thought that you could separate the show with Barstool in its name with Barstool Sports.
Lets see how fans that have sat behind the Boogermobile have enjoyed the experience so far this season.

To be fair, ESPN does indeed have a gigantic monitor right behind the Boogermobile so you can get the same experience you would get at home except you drove to a game to pay hundreds of dollars to park, eat concession food, and sit in a cheap plastic seat with an obstructed view.
Anyway, last night the Boogermobile had its toughest competitor yet, noted Giants superfan License Plate Guy.
There are three rules that I live by: Never get less than twelve hours sleep, never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city, and never get involved in a rivalry with a man that hangs a gaggle of personalized license plates from his neck. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese.

However the Boogermobile chose to ignore that little tidbit of logic and was in License Plate Guy’s face more than the Falcons pass rush was in Eli’s face in the first half.
Things started off innocently enough, with License Plate Guy being legitimately perturbed about the giant contraption directly in his line of vision. LPG clearly hadn’t been paying very close attention to Monday Night football this season and had no clue what the Boogermobile was and couldn’t believe it was in his way. To be honest, I still can’t believe I am writing a blog about something called the Boogermobile. What the fuck are we doing here, people?
The rivalry only heated up with this clip that went viral that Jack Mac blogged earlier. “Booger get out of the freaking way!” is such a classic superfan vs. machine phrase, it makes me crack up every time we see it.
HOWEVAH, my favorite part of all this was later in the game when the Boogermobile broke LPG’s back. You can hear the resignation in LPG’s voice because he can’t see his beloved washed up quarterback in the pocket, followed by pure glee as Sterling Shepard makes a tremendous catch, followed by utter defeat as the Boogermobile struts along and turns his 10th row seat in the middle of an NFL stadium somehow into an obstructed view.

Like I blogged about last night, I haven’t really paid too close of attention to the Monday Night announcers this season because to be honest it puts me to sleep. But now I have to tune into Twitter every night just to see how the fans react to an 80 inch TV blocking their view of the game. If only there were some crazy home crowds that may cause a ruckus as the Boogermobile stands up every play like Superfan and Detroit Don during a divisional game.
Lets take a quick glance at the Monday Night schedule to see if there are any home fans that could be described as rowdy in the upcoming weeks.
#BillsMafia next week clearly stands out. But I feel like they are more of a “Get drunk in the parking lot and then throw dildos at Tom Brady” crowd. License Plate Guy probably wants no part of flying to San Fransico only to get dominated by the Boogermobile again. The Rams vs. Chiefs game will probably be a hot ticket in LA since it may be the best game of the season and I imagine it will be more of a “chardonnay” crowd than a crew of License Plate Guys. Houston fans may not care about their team on November 26th since DeShaun Watson may have been killed by his offensive line. However December 3rd will be the Boogermobiles toughest test of the season.
Oh fuck yes. Eagles fans losing their minds while sitting in expensive seats rooting for an up-and-down team in what will likely be a physical divisional game in December which will probably include a revived Nate vs. Smitty vs. Donovan McNate vs. Clickbait Smits quadruple threat match is an explosive situation to say the least. And that’s before you add in that there is a chance snowballs may be added to the list of aerial weapons alongside beers and batteries. I don’t have much to root for in the NFL right now. But that December 3rd game between Eagles fans and the Boogermobile cannot come quickly enough.
Also for those wondering, Booger McFarland doesn’t actually stand for the anthem. However as you can see, the Boogermobile is erected, which according to protocol means that the troops are indeed being respected

UPDATE: Apparently Rams/Chiefs is in Mexico City this year?

Upon further review, I don’t know if the Boogermobile will survive the maniacs in Estadio Azteca to meet its untimely death in Philly. ESPN better come up with some of their patented lies about not being able to get the Boogermobile through customs or else they are going to be down exactly one (1) Boogermobile.
