Lombardi’s continued involvement with and peripherally to the NFL makes me think I can be a GM someday. If morons like him can do it, then why not morons like me?

7 essential qualities? Check, check, check, check, check, check and check.

he is a great example of the good ole boy network. He is without talent, but chock full of cliches. A joke.

What’s really rich is that Lombardi tries to pretend to be a football guru while none of the Browns 2013 draft class he presided over still plays football for the Browns, if at all.

The best is that Simmons hyped him up on there (“HE’S AVAILABLE, NFL TEAMS, HIRE HIM AS GM! HE’S BRILLIANT AND NO ONE DENIES THIS”) and then after landing a gig with the Browns, he bombed through his only year, drafted horribly, and was canned.

Holy fuck you couldn’t be more right. I don’t know why I punish myself by listening to Simmons and Lombardi talk about Jimmy Garoppolo like he’s Johnny Unitas. Also, if I have to listen to one more person talk about how smart the Patriots are for drafting Tom Brady, I’m going to fucking smash my own face with a brick.…

His appearancs on Simmons’s podcasts are nothing but cliches and self-invented catchphrases. It’s a wonder any NFL team after his first employed him.

My least favorite is the Cheesecake Factory menu. I get it. Focus on what you’re good on and don’t try to get too fancy. You don’t need to repeat the same stock phrase every time you come on because you think you’re clever.

He makes Mays unlistenable which is an accomplishment. Their run-up to the draft has been insane. Once a week Mays will talk to a draft specialist about a specific position group and it will be in depth and engaging. Then the other episode for the week will be Lombardi hurling cliches at him for twenty minutes.

I distinctly remember Lombardi claiming that Brian Hoyer (of all people) was a blue chip QB. That opinion was so stupid it imbeded itself in my brain and I can’t remove it

I like Simmons, and I enjoyed Grantland and The Ringer.

God...I hate the Canadiens but even still I love P.K. Subban so much. This hit only makes it more so.

This forever

MAN MLS SUCKS!!! wait...

And in other news, Sunderland continued to play their way into the Championship.

This is the exact image I had of the star turning back to look into the camera. Tom Emanski, you bastard, your late-night ESPN commercials have bounced around my head for the last 20 years....

LOL at this point is just something people type when they don’t know what to say.

Nantz: Aaaannnd we’re *back*.

Magic: decidedly not crafty.

I spent my entire weekend calling in rules violations to the LPGA, so it was nice being able to take this game off. Good job refs.
