Sad Story from Columbus

[That 70's Employee]

Columbus, OH (AP) - A seven-year old boy was at the center of a
Franklin County courtroom drama yesterday when he challenged a court
ruling over who should have custody of him. The boy has a history of
being beaten by his parents and the judge initially awarded custody to
his aunt, in keeping with child custody law and regulation requiring
that family unity be maintained to the highest degree possible.

The boy surprised the court when he proclaimed that his aunt beat him
more than his parents and he adamantly refused to live with her. When
the judge then suggested that he live with his grandparents, the boy
cried and said that they also beat him. After considering the remainder
of the immediate family and learning that domestic violence was
apparently a way of life among them, the judge took the unprecedented
step of allowing the boy to propose who should have custody of him.

After two recesses to check legal references and confer with the child
welfare officials, the judge granted temporary custody to the University
of Michigan Wolverines, whom the boy firmly believes are not capable of
beating anyone.

That joke is sooooooooo old, yet still funny. The first time I heard it (just before the Bengals were in the Super Bowl for the first time, 1982) it was about them.

Marshall was the second choice.

Closely followed by the Philadelphia Eagles.

Reminds me of seeing a poster in a restaurant window about ten years ago that showed a picture of six children aged from 8-15 in front of Three Rivers Stadium. The top of the picture caption read: "WANTED!" and underneath the picture was: "Known whereabouts of the parents that left their six children near Three Rivers Stadium in early October. They are currently leading the Steelers 21-3"...
