That’s a regular guitar Dolan is holding, Tom, not a bass guitar. A Fender Stratocaster, to be exact. A fine instrument that deserves better than to be pawed over by a dingus.

Phil’s right...she was Lindsay Soto until she married a guy named Matt Rhodes. Don’t know if Chris Rose is married, he spends a LOT of time being a jock-sniffer. Other than his constant need to let you know he’s besties with all the athletes he covers, he’s perfectly cromulent as a talking head.

+1 for ‘lorgnettes’ alone.

I’d say the odds of that happening are...100%, more or less. The Twins cut Ortiz loose, he didn’t leave. Every Twins fan I know was happy to see Big Papi get his rings.

Sweet Jesus...I just pictured Jerrah holding a press conference and saying, “Well, Coach Landry alternated Craig Morton and Roger Staubach as co-starters in 1971...and it worked out pretty good, won the Super Bowl. We hope for a similar result with Johnny and Robert...” While Jason Garrett stands behind him with a…

“What do you think about when someone says Wade Phillips’s name?”

And I’m pretty sure Billy did his commercials in between managerial stints.

“a long-suffering Wolves fan”...like there’s another kind?

“Cutting a player? Not that big a deal.”

Frank Gifford described interviewing Lombardi on the field before the game. He put his hand on Vince’s shoulder and was shocked to find he was trembling. The NFL put a ton of pressure on Lombardi to win the game and uphold the shield. He didn’t act as though he thought Kansas City was a cupcake.

“Big deal.”

Even when Carey has the advantage of slow motion replay, he gets it spectacularly wrong. The AFC championship, when Belichick challenged the call of an incomplete pass by Peyton? Nance asked Carey to look at the replay. The ball clearly went backward. But Carey he didn’t see anything to overturn the call and NE was…

“No harm, no foul, and a great reason to remind you of this:”

Keith Jackson is awesome. Even hearing him do Gatorade commercials quickens my pulse. But Vin Scully is the GOAT.
