Super Bowl Slackliner Andy Lewis Shocks CNN’s Brooke Baldwin With His ‘Balls Of Steel’

» 7 comments

The Super Bowl slacklining sensation Andy Lewis AKA Sketchy Andy spoke with Brooke Baldwin during Tuesday’s CNN Newsroom, and caught her off-guard when he told her he had battle-tested gonads. “Andy, I have to ask a question off the top that a lot of people are wondering. The first thought I had was, wow! The second being ouch! Doesn’t that hurt?” “I actually just — I just made a video that you can view on YouTube right now. It’s called Andy Lewis: Balls of Steel!” Lewis exclaimed. “You should check that out!”

Lewis’s frank talk of his testicular fortitude shocked Baldwin, who was visibly flustered from his bluntness.

“I’m going to move on!” Baldwin demurred. “We don’t need to get specific, I’m just asking if you’re okay!”

Baldwin noted that the Super Bowl was small potatoes for Lewis as he’s slacklined over cliffs. Lewis said it took a lot of preparation for him to take it to that level.

“You start low to the ground and you say, hey, I could probably walk a slackline that’s a little bit higher, then you go to ten feet, 50 feet and then 100 feet!” Lewis explained. “After a while, it doesn’t matter how high you are, it’s more of a mental thing than a physical thing. It’s more a mental journey of trusting yourself with death as a risk.”

    He’s obviously a progressive Democrat because Right Wingers are hate-filled pussies.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

     

                           

     

                                  
    The NEW YORK GIANTS SECRET
    WEAPON!

     

        
    Three days before Super Bowl XLVI, NEW YORK GIANTS wide receiver Victor
    Cruz received a DVD delivered to his room at the Marriott Hotel in
    Indianapolis.  It was the
    award-winning comic documentary, “Abel Raises Cain.”

          The movie, produced and directed by
    husband-wife filmmakers Jennifer Abel and Jeffrey Hockett, had won Best
    Documentary First Prize at Slamdance, also festivals in England, Canada, Spain
    and Denmark.

           Cruz and his fellow players
    were to view this film farce for relaxation, to defuse the intense pressure
    generated by Super Bowl activities. According to one team manager, a
    laugh-out-loud movie is necessary for pre-game relief, because laughter is the
    only tranquilizer without side effects. 
    That became their secret weapon!

           “Abel Raises Cain” is a
    compilation of major media hoaxes perpetrated by satirist Alan Abel. His antics
    were always published as fact, rather than fiction. For example, a campaign to
    clothe all naked animals for the sake of decency, a faux school for begging, an
    euthanasia cruise line, the KKK Symphony and many others.

        
    One hotel employee said, “They laughed and cheered like happy fans after
    a GIANTS touchdown.” Perhaps the most important revelation is that the NEW YORK
    GIANTS won the XLVI Super Bowl, once again world champions!

        
    And hats off to the Abel-Hockett team for their contribution. (                                                                                                (www.abelraisescain.com)
