You take some white flakes and add hot water, and wa la, instant mashed potatoes.
You take the cake mix out of the packet, stir it up, pop it in the oven and wa la, instant cake.
As a society we have become used to instant results. There's no longer time to make a cake from scratch. No time boil and peel potatoes and mash them up. Forget that it is better for you, tastes better, and teaches you something. We need instant gratification. It's why video games have taken the place of heading down to the schoolyard or the playground to actually play the game. Yeah, I can dunk a basketball, on my video game. Need a RB, simply suggest it to the game and he is yours.
Wa la.
Every week we wake up to reality staring us in the face of the football team we all love. Where is the instant gratification? Danged if I know.
The NFL is never going to provide people the instant gratification they want. I hate Kickers. David Buehler missed a PAT that could have sent this game to overtime. Cut him. Get the next guy in here and he will know instant gratification is expected and by all that is holy he will not miss a kick ever.
DC.com has not been working for me. A problem with my ISP here. I finally got to see Garrett's post game press conference and I am both shocked and not shocked that a reporter feels like Buehler is getting a pass. Much like the fans here, reporters want instant gratification. Guy misses a kick, we can write his eulogy and hang the guy. Don't you realize this is instant journalism? We can hang the goat and the curse will be lifted. Would you please just let us do our job and fix this team for you?
Yes, we know that 2 of the last 3 weeks he made kicks that won the game for our team, but he missed this one, and as we all know, we want instant gratification. We want to burn him in effigy. Let us.
It's a marvelous tragic opera each and every week. Stephen McGee played decent. I have an instant gratification idea. Let's trade Tony Romo to a QB starved team and get some instant potatoes. Forget building this team around him from scratch, let's go with an unproven rookie because the media says he is the next great thing. You know, like JaMarcus Russell and Ryan Leaf. Instant championship. Bobble erased. Happy, happy fans.
Have you ever noticed that one week a guy can screw something up, have the fans and media all over him, and a few weeks later he is the hero of the game? Talk about screwing up instant gratification. We're all guilty of it. Every one of us wanted Alex Barron gone as soon as he held that guy in week 1.
Now we want all emotion taken out of the game by the players. No happiness or joking on the sidelines. A sure way to attract the best players is to have them see how miserable you are on the sidelines. It's not a game and you should not enjoy it. This is life and death. Hey, there's no emotions on the sidelines in Madden. It must be a good thing then.
On Madden, when I am GM and Coach, the Cowboys win every single week. That's what I want. Yearly Super Bowls and other teams willing to simply hand me their best players to fulfill my need for instant gratification.
Hey, do they make this stuff in a powder? You know so you can stir it up in Milk? And can it come in chocolate? I think I'll pop a Hot Pocket into the microwave so I don't have to cook. It'll go right through me and I don't even have to be regular.
Who needs sex? A good scratch feels just as good.
