A couple of idiots who play in the NFC North injured themselves celebrating sacks this year. Chicago Bears defensive end Lamarr Houston did it last Sunday. In the fourth quarter of a blowout loss, no less. Detroit Lions linebacker Stephen Tulloch did it against the Packers earlier this year.
Both of them, torn ACLs. Done for the season. Good riddance.
Now, Tulloch was trying to do Aaron Rodgers’ move. The championship belt. Because the Lions were playing the Packers and Tulloch is an unoriginal dick.
Houston is clearly not doing the belt and why would he be? The Bears were playing the Patriots when he got injured.
That’t not important to State Farm though. Because they pay Aaron Rodgers to do commercials for them, they have taken the belt and redubbed it the Discount Double Check. And because corporate America told you so, many of you have lapped that shit right up and now refer to the belt as the “Discount Double Check.”
Anyway, in light of the aforementioned injuries, State Farm has something to tell you.
“It’s very unfortunate that these players injured themselves while celebrating, but it is our belief that the Discount Double Check is not inherently dangerous,” said a State Farm spokeswoman. “In fact, it can be used to help you save money on insurance when performed correctly. We encourage all athletes to celebrate responsibly.”
Ah, yes. Nothing like using someone else’s misfortune to promote your company!
I mean, I don’t care in this case because we’re talking about a couple of shitbags that no one likes. This idiotic shillery is still unwelcome though.
It might be mildly tolerable if both of those shitbags were actually doing the move in question, State Farm.
