Headline I see: “Cowboys to retain Mike McCarthy”
Headline I see in my head: “Belichek says no to Cowboys.”
A man came up to him, a Marine, with tears in his eyes, who said, “Sir, I’ve never cried in my whole life until now, but I’ve never seen anyone with such good syphilis as you. You’re an inspiration to everyone I know to get syphilis. Thank you.”
Toward the end, when Pardo wasn’t feeling well, Darrell Hammond would fill in and do such a good impression, that it’s almost impossible to tell when it isn’t really Pardo. After Pardo’s death, Hammond took over the announcing duties full time, but uses his own voice. Everyone agreed that he shouldn’t continue the Pardo impression.
Buuuuuuuut the Kansas City/Miami game? Play on!
I’m going to just leave this here…. 🤣
The bit about AI Bill Cosby made me laugh the hardest. “You get all of the Cosby jokes with none of the Cosby rapes!”
Y’know, I was a pretty big Carlin fan, I had a few of his albums and even saw him live in concert once. I listened to the whole thing while driving, and I thought this was okay. It’s obviously not George Carlin, but it sounded a lot like him, and I can imagine he would approve of many of the jokes. It wasn’t a laugh-a-minute, but I did get lost in it a couple of times and forget that it wasn’t really him, and I did laugh out loud a few times as well. (The joke about the best comedian for AI being Bill Cosby got me!)
Carlin’s comedy was very topical, which doesn’t always translate to today, so having new, up-to-date Carlin bits are actually cool. I can understand his daughter’s apprehension, but at least people are talking about her dad again, so I would think that’s a good thing.
Yeah, it’s understood that in the victory formation, the offense is going to take a knee. There’s no need for the defense to try to play hard and risk someone getting hurt. Greg Schiano was the coach of the Bucs in 2012/13, and he had his team rush the line on kneel downs. He got crucified for it, lost his job for it (among other reasons), and hasn’t been back in the league since. These guys’ health is their paycheck, and if the Saints are going to pull this kind of crap, someone is going to get hurt. Jimmy Graham is being unnecessarily cavalier about it.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the Patriots part ways with BB (through trade, since I’m not sure they have it in them to fire him after all he’s done there), and bring in Vrabel. He’s a former Patriot after all.
I’d take him on the Falcons. He consistently spanked us in his hay days with the Panthers.
A tangle of cables? I’ll feel right at home! …and right at work! 🤣
According to reports, Blank wants him in Atlanta, and, if I know Blank, he’ll do a trade.
He was hired because he was supposedly an offensive genius. In 3 seasons as not only the Head Coach but the Offensive Coordinator as well, he went 7-10 three times, finishing with a 21-30 record.
Number of playoffs appearances: 0
Number of 30+ point games: 0
Score of his final game (with still a small chance to make the playoffs): Loss to the Saints (ugh) 49-17.
The team was not improving. It was time to move on.
