Oh. My. Gawd.

I had thought my poor Miami Dolphins could not possibly be humiliated any more this week. But I was wrong. Which is the worst possible aspect of this article?

A) That somebody came up with the idea to build a 26 foot statue of Jason Taylor that looks like a cross between G.I. Joe and the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man?

B) That somebody decided to set it up in Trafalgar Square in order to promote the 'Fins-Giants game at Wembley next Sunday? (Because for my money, nothing is going to attract the Brits to American-style football like this thing. Right!)

or

C) That the statue is pictured here getting felt up by Christian Slater?

I think I'm going to go home, drink an entire bottle of single malt, and cry the rest of the season away.

(Sobbing Yips! to Dave Barry.)

Um, yea. Great idea. Did the NFL borrow the inflatable guy from Les Schwab Tires?

It looks like he should holding holding up a banner reading, "Buy a set of tires, get free beef".

Jason Taylor, meet Bibendum. Hey, it is Europe, after all.

Although one doesn't necessarily expect to get felt up by Chrstian Slater in Europe.

Mickey Rourke, possibly.

Under a certain age, Roman Polanski, quite likely.

And Gerard Depardieu, definitely.

What was that Depardieu movie where he's a pianist who goes to some resort with his teenage daughter but somehow people think she's his child-lover? There's a hilarious scene where he starts singing, "Sank 'eaven for leetle gerls!"
