Quick Shoutout To Rick Reilly For Coming In Hot With His DeflateGate Joke Only 2 Days Late
Got Him! 2 things that are important when crafting the perfect Rick Reilly joke.
1. Is it at least 24 hours since the news broke? This thank god was. DeflateGate news broke Tuesday around 2, Rick gave us this bad boy Wednesday around 9 pm. A good joke is always a joke you sleep on, craft, re-work, and sleep on some more.
2. Does it reference something in pop culture at least 20 years old? OJ in 1994, nailed it!
And that my friends is how you do comedy. Someday you’ll learn how a comedic mind works, but probably not, because your brain is so stupid, it’s as if Elin Woods took a 9 iron to it on Thanksgiving Day.
