The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for September 25, 2018

Heh. We’re at “The Kareem Abdul-Ja*BAR*” today!

And the answer is Tommy Nobis.

Yeah, the artist has lowered the bar for this joke…

Maybe I’m missing something but I thought Lou Alcindor played basketball at UCLA.

My nominee is Ray Nitschke from the Fighting Illini. He went on to an illustrious 15-year career as #66 on Lombardi’s Green Bay Packers before turning to philosophy and writing Also Sprach Zarathustra and The Will to Power.

I’m sure folks in Pittsburgh are saying “You don’t know Jack!” (As in Lambert and Ham).

Considering what football does to a player’s head, I was working on the “no brainer” aspect. But then, it would be hard to narrow it down, since so many players quite literally lose their minds from the constant injuries.

Interesting name for the establishment as Kareem says he is a Moslem and they are teetotalers.

Is “no-brianer” part of the joke? Is it just me, or do most of today’s “funnies” not seem funny.

oh puhleeze

Two bad puns for the price of one today…

Brian Bosworth?!. That roid inflated imposter!!

I ain’t gettin’ it; no way, no how.

Best ever was Butkus, and the award for best defensive player still named for him

Urlacher didnt play linebacker in college.

The name of the bar in the window… Nicely done!
