Wittgenstein and the Super Bowl

Michael Bérubé provides a Wittgensteinian account of the NFL rules governing the number of players who may be on the field. Reminiscent of Michael Frayn on the fog-like sensations.

I was fast-forwarding through the review on this when watching the game on Sunday, and for the first couple of minutes, I thought it was true to the transcript, and was impressed by the announcing team of Buck and Aikman for a couple of minutes.

For the record, I agree with Aikman.

Lame humor.

Wittgenstein was a beery swine.

Pedantry is close to humor.
