Scoring TDs Makes Me Hungry


I'm not sure T.O. really needed to steal this fan's popcorn, but hey - if you hang around in the back of the end zone during an NFL game, you have to take some risks... you know: getting knocked over by guys the size of compact cars, having some player's sweat hit you in your open mouth, and yes, possibly even getting your snack purloined by a hungry (for attention) wide receiver.

For some reason, this image of T.O. snatching Dude's $9 container of popcorn (the guy doesn't seem too upset about it though) reminded of the scene in the girls-playing-baseball movie "A League of Their Own" when Rosie O'Donnell goes diving into the stands to retrieve a foul ball and comes out not only with the ball but with a fan's hot dog stuffed into her mouth.

Now I'm not going to say anything mean about Rosie (Donald Trump has done enough of that already), but if you're a fan sitting in the front row at a baseball stadium, and Rosie is anywhere in the general vicinity (on the field, in the upper deck, in the parking lot) and you are eating a hot dog, you have to assume that the hot dog is at risk.

I doubt that this Cowboys fan really believed that his popcorn was at risk - which is why I imagine it came as such a big surprise to him. Plus T.O. seemed to waste a lot of it, and I don't think you'd have to worry about that with Rosie, either.
