LOL, that's hilarious. Seems like their work studying the game is
paying off. Previous interviews revealed that they know absolutely
nothing about the sport. (for those who have the cleveland
soundboard boot, did you guys know that baltamore stole the bears?).
I can totally picture Edge and Bono on the couch watching clips and
football news on ESPN all night tyring to soak up american football
and the current related events.
Bono: So you get four "downs" to try to get to the end zone?
Edge: Uh...yea...
Bono: But i don't get it, that team we just watched had more than 4
downs.
Edge: Well, you get four more downs if you get a first down.
Bono: (puzzled look)
Edge: Well, if you get ten yards, you get another 4 chances to get
another first down, all the way until you score or punt.
Bono: Punt? I thought we just converted to the Euro?
Edge: No no. If you aren't close enough to score, you punt it.
Bono: Oh like when they kick it through the upside down Pop arch
that looks like a giant yellow fork?
Edge: No, that's only when you are close enough to kick it through,
but you have too far to go to score a touchdown.
Bono: Oh feck! Forget it. Who the hell invented that stupid game
anyway!
Edge: Well, back in 1869, Princeton played Rutgers in football soccer
with modified rugby rules and some argue that this paved the way for..
Bono: Okay okay, enough of the history!....Who are the guys in zebra
costumes? And why do they keep throwing their yellow hankerchiefs on
the ground?
Edge: Those are the officials. The yellow things are flags....oh
err..forget it. I'll explain later.
Bono: Who's that evil looking man with the beady eyes?
Edge: That is Mike Martz. He coaches the Rams. He likes to run up
the score and call deep passes even when his team is up by 50
points. But it is fun to watch. "Greatest show on earth" they say,
just like us.
Bono: (not listening, eyes glued to the set) That man keeps sticking
his hands under that other mans arse to get the ball!....
Larry: We're late for rehearsals. Get off your arses and get moving.
Adam: (running in the room excited) Did you know that they have
special edition Superbowl SPOONS!
