“I’m just here so I don’t get sued by the producers.”
It was a predictable, yet somehow also awkward joke, and, unfortunately for anyone who tuned in to watch last night, it set the tone for the show perfectly. With both Kevin Cushing and Marshawn Lynch being famous for fighting authority, it seemed (on paper, at least) that the two would be a great fit for each other on TV. Unfortunately, Cushing’s analytic and confrontational temperament seemed terribly out of place compared to that of the fun-loving Lynch.
The two began with a game of Madden, with Cushing have to be created from a fan file. After joking at how bad the render was (“looks like they just photoshopped an old image of your brother”), the two went head to head for three games, with Marshawn winning two and Cushing mainly getting in passive-aggressive jokes about the commentating and both of their leagues, which were kind of hit and miss. Afterward, the two challenged each other on eating various disgusting foods, where the two of them finally had something more unpleasant than each other’s company. When all of the entrees/challenges were finished, I’m not sure if they were more relieved or the audience.
