Tradition-al Side Effects: The Split Household III

Apparently this has become a regular addendum sort of feature to "Tradition Tuesday" here on the House of Georges. As mentioned here and here, we've come across members of the ill-thought-of split household in the parking lots of InvesCo Field at Mile High, and Arrowhead Stadiums. What that means is that a Chiefs fan has married into a Broncos family, or vice versa, and done the despicable to make their home livable. More on this bad idea after the jump.

Now, if two people want to spend the rest of their lives trudging through some semblance of happiness mixed with an ever-looming sense of enemy territory, so be it. While we don't approve, we certainly won't try to stop them. We will, however, offer the occasional suggestion of things the split household inhabitants should never attempt. Want to rip two jerseys in half and sew the pieces back together? Fine. Just think the thing through, first.

For example, Tim Grunhard logged 11 years as a center with the Chiefs. He played college ball at Notre Dame, was elected to one Pro Bowl, and scooped up eight miffed pigskins in his career. Frank Jackunas was apparently selected by the Buffalo Bills in the 1961 AFL draft, but this Web site suggests that he once, if briefly, donned a Denver uni. We beg of you, oh married hybrid babymakers, never to merge the jerseys of these two former athletes,



lest your cursed offspring inherit a fashion faux pas so catastrophic, that years of therapy might never aid them in recovery. Carry on with your barbecued wheat grass, and your mountain bike trips to the three a.m. bars. Just think before you stitch. That is all.
