That's gotta be marketing for M3GAN. Not nearly as effective as the Smile bit.

Obligatory "someone please explain the specifically-American sporting event for the rest of us" comment.

Getting into why this play in particular is funny would require tedious explanation of various American football procedures. The short and sweet version is: the Cowboys (team in white, also one of the most hated sports teams in America) tried an extremely unusual play at the end of a game they needed to win to continue their season and it failed immediately and painfully.

Tell that to the local network affiliates here in central Florida that on sundays only play Jags, Dolphins or Bucs games, unless they’re not playing, then we get the loving cowboys or packers or whatever lovely team that hasn’t won anything in the last decade. I hate that the cowboys are “americas team”, but now that they’re on year 28 without winning the NFC championship, they’re doing about as good as America is in general

You don't get to be the most hated team without being one of the most popular teams first. See also the Yankees and Lakers, or the aforementioned Man U for an overseas example.

lol is it really from NFL Yearbook and not the team's own marketing? I never heard that.

They were also one of the first NFL franchises in the South (the Saints and Falcons formed in the 60s, but a few years later and they were abysmal for decades; the Oilers were an AFL team) so they were the default regional team for much of the country for some time, kind of like the Braves in baseball.

Official George Washington University Statement: Hippos Are Not Free To Be Bold

Summary: GWU is changing their mascot from the Colonials and some people want them to be the Hippos because one time their school president got drunk and bought a hippo statue, making up a story about hippos once roaming the Potomac. The college does not want this because “George Washington Hippos” sounds loving insane but made up stupid buzzword reasons instead of saying that.

The unnecessary quotation marks also make it sound like they’re talking about the TV series and not a real event.

Note, he did not "transform himself into a border collie", he instead purchased an extremely life-like fursuit that he wears.

Also not a border collie

Not really? This is a case where the Oxford comma would make it look even more like Amy Schumer wrote The Art of War.
