A 1000 pound chain saw carving of former Buffalo Bills running back Thurman Thomas is missing from a parking lot across from Ralph Wilson stadium Monday, a day after it was unveiled.
Luckily, TMZ is reporting that a Canadian dude called the artist to inform her he had it because he was rescuing it from ‘B-LO’ hooligans who were trying to light it on fire. Whew. That was close. To think what the world almost lost.
I personally think ‘chain saw sculptery’ has a long way to go. Does this lady even know what Thurman Thomas looks like? That thing looks more like a young Mike Ditka. ‘Carving’ something that vaguely resembles a human being and then slapping a ‘34’ on it doesn’t make it Thurman Thomas. It could just as easily been Walter Payton. Or Shaq. Or Julius Caesar.
Also, the ‘Boomer effect’ has me in deep in its talons with regard to Thomas. My first thought is always that his name is ‘Thermal’. Damn you to hell, Chris Berman!
