Super Bowl Prompts Desperate Boyfriend To Offer $500 For Pre-Game Football Lessons

Do you consider yourself a football expert? Do you eat, sleep and breathe the game? If so, you may want to hook up with a desperate guy in Brooklyn who is offering a willing teacher the opportunity to earn some quick cash ahead of the upcoming Super Bowl game.

"I desperately need to learn about football between now and next week's Super Bowl game," reads the ad, which appeared on Craigslist this afternoon. "Preferably from someone who was a quarterback in college or the pros, but at the very least someone who knows a lot about quarterbacks."

Someone is either quite desperate to impress their girl or has way too much time on their hands. The Huffington Post attempted to determine which is true by reaching out to the poster, but did not receive an immediate response.

While the integrity of the post remains unclear, we can say we found the ad quite humorous and think you will too. Here are a few of the more laughable lines:

My girlfriend and I were just invited to a Super Bowl party at her ex-boyfriend's apartment, and to be honest, last time I met him he told me he played football in college and I responded that I did as well --which was a lie ... I guess I just panicked and wanted to impress my girlfriend. Anyway. He asked me what position I played and I told him I played quarterback because that was really the only position I'd heard of.

I really don't know anything about football. ... I've been reading articles on ESPN.com and watching clips online but I don't think it's going to prepare me for questions about actually playing it, or for making good comments during the game. So I need someone who can quickly teach me. ... This is really important to me. I think my girlfriend still really likes her ex.

I'm offering $500, but would be willing to go higher if you're an actual college or professional football quarterback ... And if you would be willing to text me good comments to say during the game, I'd to pay you an extra $100 for that. Maybe more if they're good comments.

The clueless baller/comedian is asking interested parties to contact him "IMMEDIATELY via email if interested." Click here to view the complete ad.

Agree with what everyone said about, why in the world would you go to a party at your girlfriend's ex's house?

However, if this guy does go -- dude, you're in Brooklyn, hipster central. Where I'm sure it's perfectly cool to say you don't give a f@#$ about football, you have better things to do with your time. Go to the party and act bored at all times except during the commercials, some of which are very creative and funny. But don't lie. You sound insecure, which means you won't be able to pull it off and the whole thing will just be a disaster.

What kind of a girlfriend takes you to a party at an ex-boyfriend's house? This dude is clueless....lying about play college football is the least of his worries.

If you have to lie to impress her and she is going over to a ex boyfriends and putting you in that situation and you think she still likes him then take your money and use it to take another lady out. Spend not a penny on impressing this gal.

Reminds me of a "Honeymooners" episode where Ralph has to learn to play golf from Norton. Classic.

Dude, the Ex doesn't care what you played in college as your as your GF continues to sneak over while you are at work.

Doesn't matter how much you know about football. All it would take is to Google his name plus the College he went to, and he would be busted.

well this exposure should help him out quite a bit.....

Anyone inviting an EX and their new Beau, to your home for the game? You might guess that the "new-guy" in the girl you're still trying to ----, is a "poof"!....
Dude would have been better off buying her another diamond!

Okay, if your girlfriend wants you to go to a party at her ex's house, he's not really her ex and you should dump her now.

I'm not a quarterback, but I do know a lot about the game. I'd be willing to give lessons for $50. Shop around fella.

First, it's not the most "uncool" thing to be, meaning not being in the know of football. Actually football is a very strategic sport. But the basics are not that difficult to understand. So knowing football is this guy's least concern in my opinion....and biggest concern WTF are you doing going to your girl's ex's superbowl party? Obviously he doesn't know him because if so, you'd think he would have some history....It's too late pal, save your $500, get a new chick because from what I read (and i am sure there's more to this story) not having a clue about the sport is as I said least concern. But here is a free hint....when the man that is "hiked" the ball (think Brady Bunch) steps back and throws it (that's a pass) and the guy who catches it runs into the "end zone" stand up and yell HOME RUN. You'll look smart and the your gals ex's gf will want you too. Trust me, it works. The guy who throws the ball, he's called the pitcher. I hope you like being popular because everyone will know "of" you by half time. Oh half time is the break between innings. Good luck. And keep your $500,

LMAO! That is too mean! I thought you were supposed to yell STRIKE!!! The guy that throws the ball is the pitcher? I thought he was just the thrower? ;)P
