It seems like most people enjoyed last night’s Thursday Night Football game on the NFL Network that was highlighted by the San Diego Chargers 27–20 upset victory over the Denver Broncos.

I wasn’t able to watch the game live by I did record the ending of the game and the post game show just in case anything cool happened.

Something cool DID happen.

Chargers QB Philip Rivers joined the NFL Network crew wearing snake-skin cowboys boots and a country bolo tie and went on an epic rant. See…

So when I went back to watch the game. The feed was scrambled like a 1980s porn channel — Squiggly Lines City.

I’m not sure if it was Verizon FIOS, NFL Network, my DVR (which has never had an issue) or some evil Papa John’s marketing executive trying to block me from watching Peyton Manning losing but I dare you to try and sit through the minute of video without screaming at your screen.

Squiggly lines even jammed up my weekly enjoyment of Manningface.
