Here is the movie's dialogue shown in this YouTube clip above:
Prince Akeem: Sir, did you happen to catch the professional football contest on television last night?
Cleo McDowell: No, I didn’t.
Prince Akeem: Oh sir, the Giants of New York took on the Packers of Green Bay. And in the end, the Giants triumphed by kicking an oblong ball made of pigskin through a big “H”. It was a most ripping victory.
Cleo McDowell: Son.
Prince Akeem: Yes?
Cleo McDowell: If you want to keep working here, stay off the drugs.

Live by the Favre...
Published 1/21/2008 by Sturminator at Bob's Blog - Live from Lewisville
There is a saying I have used for quite a while in speaking of my favorite football player of all time, Brett Favre. It is this: “You live by the Favre and you die by the Favre”. Not the most original thought in the world, but I started using it in 2001, when Favre demonstrated his genius by leading the team to a phenomenal 12-4 and a brilliant opener in the playoffs against SF, only to turn around at St Louis and throw SIX interceptions. This cycle has repeated itself quite a bit in the post-Reggie White era. Many moments of brilliance, followed by a thud as he is shot down in a blaze of glory at the end of ...

Still, I don't have my post on yesterday's football games finished up yet, and something needs to be here to help fill your time, so here's Prince Akeem to give you a quick recap. Am I the only one thinking ESPN should replace Emmitt Smith with Akeem ...

Now if only he had the same luck predicting his lovelife, he could have avoided that recent one week marriage. Congrats to Delino DeShields (who was one Michelob Ultra away from a stroke) and the rest of Giants Nation for the ugly win. Next stop: flattening Tom Brady, his supposed gimpy foot, and his fully functional anatomy!
