"YOU WANT A PIECE OF ME??!!"

(I've always wanted to put that in a reply to you.)

 

[B.A.R.]

"YOU WANT A PIECE OF ME??!!"

(I've always wanted to put that in a reply to you.)

One of the great secondary sitcom characters ever!

On a side note I don't know what to make of Pam Oliver anymore. Ever since Erin took the top spit Pam just appears robotic on a good day, catatonic most others.

She mouths stuff and you just wait to get a glimpse of some Fox intern on the side tugging at a string in her back.

Brady is doing good work now. Arguably the greatest QB in the game's history, so interesting to see his insights but also (still) see / hear his passion for the game, his inability to accept some of the things teams are doing, etc.

Q3 when the Cowboys have shown that (again) they are clearly not buttoned up. False start. Brady: "Oh my God. Come on guys. You're not on the road with crowd noise."

Regarding announcers, a word about Gary Danielson.
Know how you can tell he's good?
Because you rarely hear he isn't.
Sports fans are pretty vocal about taking down commentators they dislike, and Danielson is hardly ever in those discussions.

He's doesn't sound like he's trying to win a popularity contest.
He's unobtrusive - he doesn't make it about himself, he serves the game and the fans.
He doesn't feel the need to fill air time with empty comments.
Insightful. Informative. Accurate.
And you can tell he loves the sport.
I like him.

But what do I know - I liked Dennis Miller on MNF.
Why? He can do no wrong in my eyes, because of two things:
1 - Norm. The clips of when he had Norm on his show (anyone see the Bob Dole/Viagra/Spade clip? If not, check it out.)
2 - His take on the Jeopardy hack. A Chicago station was showing an episode of Jeopardy when hackers cut into the broadcast with porn. Hardcore porn.
Miller: "Viewers tuning in to watch Jeopardy knew something was amiss when they heard a man say, 'Suck my d*ck' instead of, 'What is - suck my d*ck?"
