So I went down to the Steelers/Browns game yesterday. Not much happening. Tailgating scene was a pathetic joke. Heinz Field attendance ended up being 5,260. No tickets, no freebies, no action, no nothing. Just me and my wine.
But I did see a Jarvis Landry jersey and it got me to thinking. Jarvis Landry? Where have I heard that name before? Where have I heard that syllable progression before? Oh yeah, Don Henley's solo mega-hit from the early 80's. Dirty Laundry! Catchy, unforgettable rhythm. Easy lyrics for a parody.
And Saffy thought to himself... so let it be written, let it be done.
JARVIS LANDRY
He makes his living off the N-F-L
Just throw him passes, passes he can sell
Even though the Browns all smell
Well, he coulda been a winner, but he wound up here
Factory of sadness, there’s nothing left to fear
Catch ‘em when they’re low
Catch ‘em when they’re high
Catch ‘em when they’re low
Catch ‘em when they’re high
Catch ‘em when they’re low
Catch ‘em when they’re high
Catch ‘em when they’re low
We got the Jimmy Haslam owner
He can tell you ‘bout his truck stops, pumpin’ gas night and day
We hope some day he’ll go away
Can we call for arbitration?
You know, the clowns in the press box have a gambling debt
Can you smell what Baker's cookin', burnt sauerkraut?
His team, they really stink, has there ever been a doubt?
Still he grabs it on his rout
Catch ‘em when they’re low
Catch ‘em when they’re high
Catch ‘em when they’re low
Catch ‘em when they’re high
Catch ‘em when they’re low
Catch ‘em when they’re high
Catch ‘em when they’re low
Catch ‘em when they’re high
Catch ‘em when they’re low
Catch ‘em when they’re high
Catch ‘em when they’re low
Catch ‘em when they’re high
They got their silly little jerseys that look like pumpkin pies
Their coaches do not heed our cries
There’s no room for innuendo
When the game is done, they will have dug their own ditch
We all know he’s super rich
