Insert Caption: The Express
Filed under: Fandom, Contests, Insert Caption
Welcome back to another installment in our groundbreaking, game-changing (to borrow a phrase from the news anchors of the world) Insert Caption series -- where you provide the content and we provide the prizes. Last week we asked you to dish out some captions for a photo from How to Lose Friends and Alienate People, which opens in theaters today. Congrats to our three winners -- none of whom include you, dude.
1. "But the ad said the auditions were for Hair" -- Debra F.
2. "All Simon's attempts to compliment Jeff's "very masculine" hair piece ended in futility after mistakenly introducing himself to whom he thought was "Mrs. Bridges." -- Nathan H.
3. "Look, it's part of the bailout agreement. I get to keep my CEO golden parachute, and you have to swim back to England." -- Kevin M.

This week we've purchased a one-way ticket for The Express, which hits theaters on October 10th, and follows the story of Ernie Davis, the first African-American to win the Heisman Trophy. The three readers who score a touchdown with our caption judges this week will hit the showers with a prize package that includes one The Express poster, one The Express t-shirt, one The Express hat and one The Express mini football. Sunday afternoon will never be the same again. Sound off below ...

Listen, I'm the coach and I'm sure you should run that way. Oh, and don't get tackled.

ok, here's the plan: number 75, you do the truffle shuffle to distract the crowd. Number 44, you grab the Heisman and we'll make a run for it

Put your helmet on next time, and it won't hurt quite so much.

"Listen kid, take it easy on the shirt. Jim Brown and Floyd Little still need it wear it, and we ain't washing the good luck off."

This is not a contest entry.
As we come up with clever captions for this movie we might take a minute to find out more about Ernie Davis, "The Elmira Express". There has been much said about this outstanding athlete and a very nice story about him is on Wikipedia here:

Coach: She can see Russia from her house!
Player: I said "Are we PLAYIN" not "SARAH PALIN"!
Suddenly, the term "Defensive" applied to much more than football.

Coach: Okay, buster, I know you're a talented player, and that the folks love seeing a young black man succeed, but that doesn't mean you have the right to try your attitude with me! I mean, just what the hell are you staring at???
Ernie: Sir.....You've got a Pringles crumb on your cheek.
