Matt Ryan + show-tunes = FABU !!!
Here we have Atlanta Falcons’ first-round picks Matt Ryan and Sam Baker enjoying the theater standing uncomfortably at center-stage while the cast of Oklahoma! sings and cavorts about. Hoo boy, awkward doesn’t even begin to describe this scene. These two couldn’t have looked more uncomfortable if they had porcupines in their shorts. Despite consultation with the media ...

MATT RYAN BROKE THE RECORD FOR AWKWARD
With Leather — ... most sports fans, I know a lot about Broadway musicals.  And I can assure you with 100% certainty that Oklahoma! is the single most fucking annoying musical in the history of mankind.  The songs are irritating but catchy, it's about five and a half hours long, and there's a "dream ballet" at the end of the first act.  A fucking dream ballet.  About farmers and cowboys settling a Western state.  Eat a dick, Rogers and Hammerstein. [Kissing Suzy Kolber

Matt Ryan "Appears" In "Oklahoma"
AwfulAnnouncing — I know athletes do a ton of stuff they don't want to do, and I don't have anything against musicals, but standing awkwardly on the stage for almost two minutes isn't something I'd look forward to. Here are Falcons players Matt Ryan and Sam Baker doing just that with the cast of Oklahoma. Via WL and KSK.... Wow. That song could have the longest outro ever. They had to be up there thinking, "Just put your g'damn hands up and end this thing!" Too funny. Matt Ryan Broke The Record For Awkward (With ...

O-K-L-A-H-O-M-A A-T-L-A-N-T-A
Eagle in Atlanta -- atleagle.com — I like a good show tune probably more than your average blogger, but this appearance and clip is beyond me. It has to be one of the most awkward moments I've seen in an effort to promote football season tickets. I think the Falcons are headed in the right directions, but, ah, the Fox Theatre crowd is very different from the Georgia Dome crowd. (Thanks to Andrew and KSK for unearthing this clip.)

Matt Ryan And Sam Baker Of The Atlanta Falcons On The Set Of Oklahoma! The Musical
FanIQ Blog — Wow, where do I even begin with this one? Courtesy of Kissing Suzy Kolber (via With Leather) comes this insanely awkward video of newly minted Falcons Matt Ryan and Sam Baker being sung to by the cast of Oklahoma! in Atlanta. How many things are wrong with this setup? Almost too many to count, but let's rattle off some of the strange things that don't make any sense about this clip. 1. We have football players on the stage of a Broadway musical. 2. In all honesty, ...

Matt Ryan And Sam Baker In Oklahoma!
The Falcoholic — None of you can possibly be prepared for how hilariously awkward this video is. I've been laughing my ass off for the better part of the last ten minutes. Before I tackle any aspects of the video, just go to the always fantastic Kissing Suzy Kolber and watch it yourself. All done? In bullet point format, here's what I think are the highlights: Matt Ryan's little lean forward/fist pump thing within the first ten seconds, after which he grins like he just won the Heisman. I dunno about you, but when my wife starts playing Rodgers and ...

Matt Ryan Doesn’t Enjoy Greasepaint So Much
SPORTSbyBROOKS — ... We keep track of these things as a public service to you, the reader.) As KISSING SUZY KOLBER points out , they look more out of place than Brett Favre in a Falcon uni. (Oops, sorry.) KSK also asks what the hell we’re supposed to get out of seeing these two men stuck in “Oklahoma!”. We know the answer. Much like “Oklahoma!”, they’re the overhyped first product of the pairing of two ...

Awkward Singing With Matt Ryan
RCS Sidelines — Desperate for relief from The Brett Favre Channel (formerly known as "ESPN"), I stumbled across this video over at KSK. If rookie QB Matt Ryan and fellow first-round pick, Sam Baker, standing around awkwardly during a musical number from Oklahoma is your type of thing, then you're in luck. ...
