Fritzy Foot Fouls, Movie Talk, Fans v Fritzy and More

　

Movie Talk

Blonde?

Whose movie taste do you trust?  If the Danettes gave you their opinion on a movie, would you watch it? The movie In Bruges, a dark comedy with Colin Farrell and Ralph Fiennes was brought in for Dan to watch.  Paulie considers it fantastic, one of the top ten films of all time. The more he watches it the better it gets.  Seton said it was a really good movie.  McLovin said it wasn’t bad.  Keep in mind that any time The Devil Wears Prada is on, McLovin watches it.  Fritzy, well Dan didn’t dare go to Fritzy for his opinion.  Fritzy’s critique would only be on the actress, Clemence Poesy, who Jesse Palmer thinks is incredibly hot.  Hotter than Homeland’s Morena Baccarin?

Or Brunette?

That’s My Boy Nominated

For a Razzie that is. If there’s a red carpet, Dan and the boys will be there. How about gift bags? Appetizers? A Miss Razzie? Who’s their competition? So much anticipation. The entire cast was recognized, not favorably, but still recognized. Trophies for everyone? We’ll have to see if they win.

      Career Advice

Guidance Counselor Burgundy

One of the memorable final moments of Dan being with ESPN was when Will Ferrell called in, in the character of Ron Burgundy, from Anchorman, to give Dan career advice upon his leaving the network. Ferrell stayed in character for a good 8-9 minutes on air with Dan.









Wheel of Punishment Violation?

McLovin man enough to sport
thiese sides?

McLovin returned today without his mustache. Now the question becomes, did he violate the wheel of punishment? Plus, what happened to all of those things that McLovin said the mustache did for him? He was empowered, there was a new vibe he was getting from women, and he felt like a new man. He claims it was giving him respiratory problems, that it was becoming a hideous growth by curling in and it was getting uglier. McLovin says he’ll do something special for sweeps, like grow out George Foster sideburns, to make up for the loss. Don’t hold your breath everyone because we know how good he is at follow through. Doesn’t he realize that the ugly mustache would have been better for the show? eDP owns your likeness when you become part of the show. McLovin’s hair, anywhere on his head, his walk, his lack of athletic display, Dan owns all of that. Sure, there’s a limit to the value, but DP still owns it. McLovin is sometimes exhausting entertainment, but he’s still entertainment. R.I.P. @McLovinsstache (original). In its place during The Box Score Show, Casey Geraghty gave McLovin a Sharpie stache that looked better than the original, from a distance. He lost a few epithelial cells during the break, but the Sharpie stache is gone now too.

Possible NYC Guest Monday

Where am I going to be Monday?

Charlie Sheen contacted Dan. Charlie is going to be in NYC next week and would like to stop by the NYC man cave. Now this is Charlie, and he’s not what you would characterize as fully dependable or fully organized in planned thought so this may not occur. If it does, it would be another fine DP Show moment.






            Speaking of NYC

The boys are readying themselves
for New Orleans

Have you seen the promo piece shot in the NYC man cave for the upcoming road trip to New Orleans for the Super Bowl? Pompous McLovin, Paulie with no joy, Seton’s facial expressions and whoever’s scream that was, topped by Fritzy’s exhibitionous display. Laugh not only at content but the guys wearing make up too. Funny stuff. Great job Directv people on another original promo.





Locker Room Vacant

Under renovation

We learned the reason that the website locker room is down. That portion of the audience participation is being updated. It coincides with improvements associated with the addition of NBC Sports Network. Dan appreciates the audience and what that brings to the show just as much as the audience appreciates that this is something that differentiates DP from other sports shows. The locker room will be back. It needs to come back. It provides an enormous percent of McLovin’s content on the show.

Fans v Fritzy

Baseball HOF Mock headlines edition. It seems that this will be a regular segment as there was intro music made for the piece. The jabs were flying back and forth between Paulie, representing the fans and Fritzy. Then Fritzy learning from the past took a walk off on his line - Juice for Jesus. Then the fans came back one more time with Back Back Bacne. Fritzy couldn’t resist and wanted a bonus round, a one off winner take all with Sven in CA being the final fan headline even though Paulie still had two in the bag. Fritzy went first because he asked for the bonus round and went with his Dire Straits take off. Instead of going with either of the headlines Paulie was holding, they went to Sven who WHIFFED. Overall the fans had better headlines but the win went to Fritzy. Was the decision thrown because Dan knew he would loose Fritzy for the rest of the show if he had lost? Hmmm. In the end, it’s better to play with others than to play with yourself.

Special Deliveries to the Man Cave

One of Dan’s basketball idols is Pete Maravich. He showed an action figure that came with a hand written letter from Pete Maravich to the fan that originally had the figurine and letter. That fan had now sent it on to Dan. This was a special piece for Dan that is on his side of the studio.

Another special item on Dan’s side is a firefighter helmet from Edwardsville, IL. Love and admiration to first responders! @rushdude

He doesn't need a designer,
he needs a barber.

The head of Sony, Steve Mosko, asked Dan who the set decorator was for the show. Dan told him that this was a former dance studio that the DIY Man Cave show did the bones renovation and the rest was all Dan. Is there an Emmy for TV show set design?





Social News

From Ralph Lauren to Derek Jeter

From the social news department of the show: Derek Jeter is dating Ralph Lauren model, Hannah Davis. Step up, step down or lateral move for Jeter? Dan and the boys approve, do you?




Fritzy Foot Fouls

Ride, then drive....away

Fritzy’s foot found it’s way to his mouth again. In making analogies of college coaches talking to other teams while they were under contract with someone else Fritzy had to chime in. Dan had been talking about the relationship between the school and coach as a marriage. Fritzy added that he saw nothing wrong with test driving a car (mistress), because it doesn’t mean you’re going to sell old one you have now (wife). Should make for interesting conversation when he gets home.

How does that taste.
Chew good, swallow hard.

Fritzy also claims that he had not talked to anyone about other job opportunities. Talks, not offers. The I Team believes they have something here and the wheel of punishment is on the line. Stay tuned for updates to come. Go I Team Go!
