Piers Morgan: How can the Ravens be “world champions” if they only play U.S. teams?

I tell you what, Piers – why don’t you put together a team from Britain and see if they can compete with our boys?

Are there interstates in HI?

Are there dumb Brits?

This guy is an attention-hungry child. Is he getting lessons from Michael Moore?

Any highway built under the auspices of the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1956 and funded by the federal governent is called an interstate highway, even if it doesn’t cross state lines. In fact, there are many local routes that lie entirely within a single state funded by the Act.

Hawaii has three interstates – H1, H2, and H3 – which connect important military facilities on the island of Oahu.

I believe the title is properly “Super Bowl Champions”…

Why isn’t a family-size pizza the size of a family?

Schadenfreude on February 4, 2013 at 12:40 PM

Dunno. How can Piers Morgan be a world class douche if he’s only made two countries hate his ass?

Gingotts on February 4, 2013 at 12:40 PM

Yet another complaint from this Obama azz sniffing clown??

ToddPA on February 4, 2013 at 12:41 PM

They should have to beat the Toronto Argonauts to be world champs.

Steven McGregor on February 4, 2013 at 12:43 PM

This guy is trying his best to be popular in this country, isn’t he? Is there any country that will take him off of our hands? I am sure that we can get a fund going and raise enough to pay somebody to take him.

DAT60A3 on February 4, 2013 at 12:43 PM

Same reason the World Series is called the World Series? 2 nations play for a World Championship.

If Piers can find another a football team based anywhere else in the world that can compete in the NFL, then by all means let us all know about it.

ButterflyDragon on February 4, 2013 at 12:43 PM

Piers Morgan is your go to guy when you don’t have a twelve year old around to make observational comments.

clearbluesky on February 4, 2013 at 12:44 PM

Hahahahaha. Winner winner chicken dinner.

John the Libertarian on February 4, 2013 at 12:45 PM

Did he say this after the World Series? There is a lot better argument to make there that foreign teams can rival US professionals.

Mark1971 on February 4, 2013 at 12:46 PM

Why do people park on driveways and drive on parkways?

Youngs98 on February 4, 2013 at 12:47 PM

He thinks the London Sillynannies are going to beat St Ray and the Rayvens?

Are Girl Scout Cookies made from real Girl Scouts?

DAT60A3 on February 4, 2013 at 12:49 PM

Piers reminds me of Latka (Andy Kauffman) on Taxi who belittled our national football teams compared to his home country’s:

Latka: “Oooooh, they put on their pads and their costumes and their foam….”
Alex: “So your people play….”
Latka: “Naked. And they play on the grass! Oooh the grass….”
Alex: “So what does your home team play on?”
Latka: “Gravel.”

Just for fun

Schadenfreude on February 4, 2013 at 12:52 PM

He knows that his ratings are in the can…and this is his last stop.

d1carter on February 4, 2013 at 12:52 PM

If he were a nice chap, like Stuart Varney, we’d just smile and ignore him.

Schadenfreude on February 4, 2013 at 12:53 PM

SuperBowls are for super powers only.

Only one country qualifies.

Make note of it, Piers.

BobMbx on February 4, 2013 at 12:54 PM

I tell you what, Piers – why don’t you put together a team from Britain and see if they can compete with our boys?

Fine. Start a British AMERICAN FOOTBALL league.

And, Piers, since you are using the word “our,” how about you worry about the British crime rate and leave “our” gun rights alone?

Resist We Much on February 4, 2013 at 12:56 PM

SNAP! My Corporate Big Brother doesn’t like that site.

Probably going to get the email nastygram pretty soon. Please tell me it wasn’t a porno site.

BobMbx on February 4, 2013 at 12:57 PM

Are there dumb Brits?

Schadenfreude on February 4, 2013 at 12:38 PM

Yes, but not as many as there are dumb Americans. Come on, then!

yubley on February 4, 2013 at 1:00 PM

Well for one thing, Morgan’s people grab call a silly looking round thing with pentagonal spots football…..

apostic on February 4, 2013 at 1:06 PM

This d-bag is just begging for someone to slap the stupid look off his face.

For the same reason Miss Universe can be the most beautiful woman in the Universe.

ZenDraken on February 4, 2013 at 1:07 PM

How can the Premier League be premier if it’s English?

Christien on February 4, 2013 at 1:08 PM

I hope Morgan lives long enough to see the USA win the World Cup and then whine about it.

Christien on February 4, 2013 at 1:10 PM

How can a Morgan be a Piers if there’s only one of them and even that one doesn’t have his feet set in concrete at the bottom of a body of water.

Dusty on February 4, 2013 at 1:12 PM

BobMbx on February 4, 2013 at 12:54 PM

Nice.

cptacek on February 4, 2013 at 1:13 PM

..because they ALL own AR-15s or S&W .38 Specials of something?

The War Planner on February 4, 2013 at 1:14 PM

Legit question: Does the winner of the FA Cup or even the Champions League call themselves the “World” champ, or is it a US thing? Also, the World Series is called that because it was started by the New York World newspaper.

YYZ on February 4, 2013 at 1:20 PM

Also, the World Series is called that because it was started by the New York World newspaper.

YYZ on February 4, 2013 at 1:20 PM

The World Series technically qualifies now since a Canadian team won it twice in the early 90′s. And the NBA is off the hook since, like MLB, they also have a team in Toronto.

Doughboy on February 4, 2013 at 1:23 PM

I don’t know. Why is it called Great Britain?

Ronnie on February 4, 2013 at 1:23 PM

Who cares? They aren’t the real champs anyway. The guys in the zebra stripes are. They decided who the champs were, not the players on the field.

njrob on February 4, 2013 at 1:33 PM

Pedantic commenter notes that pedantic talk show host is pedantic.

[Doughboy on February 4, 2013 at 1:23 PM]

Unless the game is copyrighted such that other countries can’t create their own leagues using the same exact format, I’d still allow that that league championship is a world champ. The fact that no other league or team outside the country exists doesn’t negate the claim. World Champs is a ‘calling all comers’ type of challenge. If no one steps up, the assertion is accurate.

Now if another league existed and the NFL wouldn’t play the champ of that league, then, yeah, NFL calling their team the World Champ is a fraud.

Dusty on February 4, 2013 at 1:37 PM

ZenDraken on February 4, 2013 at 1:07 PM

Typical earthlings! So arrogant. Think they’re the center of the universe. It’s a fact that most of them don’t even travel outside their own solar system. No wonder they know nothing about other aliens.

Dongemaharu on February 4, 2013 at 1:38 PM

This infant is so desperate for attention it’s giving me the douche chills. If Pier’s had any redeeming qualities, I might feel sorry for the nasty little pantywaist.

RadClown on February 4, 2013 at 1:50 PM

This guy is the media equivalent of a stalker who does ever more outrageous things so that you’ll care about him.

At least Olberman was compelling in that kind of ‘look at that totally scary dude’ way. This little fat man? Not so much.

CorporatePiggy on February 4, 2013 at 1:51 PM

Gingotts on February 4, 2013 at 12:40 PM

LMAO!

Dusty on February 4, 2013 at 1:12 PM

I know a guy who could arrange that……..

Bugger off, Piers.

What is a douche chill? Never mind, I don’t want to know.

If Piers has a show no one watches, is it really a show?
