It truly is. It's like, what top player other than Hellmuth wouldn't have gotten away from that hand? That's how big Phil's pressure-cooker ego is: even when he reads the situation correctly, he lets his ego override his skill. How many times have we all heard him say something like "these donkeys can't just keep…

Did my best to give you credit, man.

Dude, attribution if you're gonna crib from me.

He chased me and ran up under me and undercut me

The year was 1948, the president was sideline siren Phyllis George, and everybody was doing a dance called the Nagurski Two-Step! [suddenly falls asleep, snoring]

The antidote to viewing Barkley's beer pong ineptitude (I know, I know, 2009 called & etc, it's still fun to watch):

Beer pong wasn't a thing when Sir Charles was at Auburn. Hell, I'm like a decade younger than he is and beer pong wasn't even a thing yet when I was in college. In our day, we played Quarters.

He was off ALL the sides, that's how offsides he was. Hence, "offsides."

Frowning Nagle.

Animated GIFs. Grainy, maddeningly endless-looping visual detritus that illuminate nothing. Animated GIFs were over in like, 2006... until Buzzfeed and Deadspin managed to re-animate* them via web saturation. Do the right thing, Deadspin, and bury those annoying web 1.0 turds for good this time.

He was damn good as Chicken George in Roots, too. One of the only things about that miniseries that holds up.

PLEASE go back to coaching, Gruden. For the sake of all of our ears. There are plenty of good announcers out there. I'm just sick for the guys who can no longer color commentate. Do the best you can to lose your job.
