My preferred music if I was a closer would be Iggy Pop's "Search and Destroy."

He would be better off holding a gun to his head and saying, "if I don't get elected President, the n***** gets it" a la Clevon Little in Blazing Saddles.

That was a parody of the time when Brent and The Greek were caught with Phyllis "going against the spread."

Chuck Bednarik is impressed.

At least the kid will be able to articulate better than Michael Irvin.

My family has just won the battle. There no longer is a reason NOT TO GO TO CHURCH on Sunday mornings. There is nothing worthwhile in the pregame show anymore.

@Lunatic Fringe:

When I heard the words "NFL Poetry" I immediately thought of:

Terry Francona: "Can I keep my stapler?"

Is that one of the "Good Ole Boys" (from the Blues Brothers) sitting in front of Jerry and Larry?

While the Red Sox ring has "Greatest Comeback Ever" on one side, I guess the other has "AL Wild Card Winner" on the other for full disclosure.
