Lupus steals a young life, NFL coach yard sale

The show came to you from the NYC vacation man cave - 

If you’re a former NFL head coach do you hold a yard sale?
Tony dungy doesn’t wear any of his Buccaneers or Colts gear or either of his Super Bowl rings.  Now I can understand not wearing the rings.  They’re big, they’re expensive and not something you’d want on your hand if you were washing the car.  But what about the clothing?  Ok, so you’re an analyst and you want to be objective.  I’m not saying wear it during interviews or while on air but you could still wear it while you’re cleaning your gutters, taking out the trash, lounging around watching pro-bowling or sleeping if you don’t go bare.  At some point his wife is going to say that stuff is taking up too much space in the closet or basement and it’s going to have to go.  Tony, whatever you don’t give to charity to auction off you can send my way.  Thanks – me

I'd look good in this sweet sweater vest

Does Fritzy have a ghostwriter?
Fritzy’s MNF song was good, really good, maybe too good.  Did he get help from his professional writing brother?  When confronted by Dan, he couldn’t produce the script. It was on his brother’s computer.  Hmmm  His brother’s computer.  His brother that lives and works in California and writes for a living computer.  We heard a letter from the brother saying he in no way had anything to do with the MNF song.  Things just aren’t fitting together.  Great MNF song, on brother’s computer, not Fritzy’s…something’s fishy in the aquarium.  Too bad his brother didn’t help Fritzy with today’s mock headlines.

Did an ugly truth about a MNF song come out?

“I don’t give a rat’s ass about USC” Drama
Jim Mora Jr. is still a big thing.  Why is he still a big thing?  Because he’s making a stink over words that came out of his mouth on DP’s show.  Jim you said it.  It was not taken out of context. It was not edited. Go to The Dan Patrick Show website. The full interview is posted for your listening pleasure. After you sit quietly in a dark room and listen to the words coming out of your mouth, take your lumps, don’t be a high school girl - put on your big boy pants, call DP and give him an apology for bad mouthing a Marconi winner. Oh, well.  So Jim won’t be back on the show by his choice.  His loss, not ours.

I.Did.Not.Say.Rat's.Ass Grrrr

McLovin Jealousy and Hair Paint

Who spent time with Dan during the Thanksgiving weekend?  Not McLovin.  Dan and his son and Seton and his son all got together during the long weekend and did what multi-generational males do. Whatever it was, it was the highlight of Dan’s weekend.   Once again there were no pictures. Just like a previous Thanksgiving Dan/Seton get together there was no photographic evidence.  A little odd since Seton is one of the shows Twitter kings. In a move to shift the attention back to him, McLovin will have a painted hair reveal on Wednesday.  The blogger, who truly wants to be a talking hair do, thought his hair paint over the weekend didn’t go so well, had Dan look at it in private and got a two day hat permit.

Mani's, spray tans, paint -
so high maintenance

Fritzy’s Sharp Left Pervy Turn
In some crazy attempt to become relevant in the conversation about McLovin’s hair paint and how the camera shows your flaws - Fritzy contributed:  “TV adds a few inches”, “I’ve had some alone time in the back”, “Sometimes I hang out with the cleaning lady and we play cards”, “That (the groan from the back) was from the person who deals cards when we play strip poker”.  What goes through this man’s head while the show is in progress is amazing sometimes.

Not my idea of a great
strip poker view

Condolences 
To the Kevin McHale family in the loss of Kevin’s daughter, Alexandra “Sasha” McHale, who passed away Saturday at the age of 23 of complications from Lupus.  Kevin is the head coach of the Houston Rockets.

Busta kitty, wag a finger, thank a veteran

Exciting new addition to the man cave! Fergie came through and sent her plated bust form that was made to fit her form and used to produce her outfit she wore during her Super Bowl appearance. A message was hand written on the bust as well. 

So smooth and shiny. Fritzy said he wouldn't touch it 
with his hands. Creepy thoughts setting in.

Family First:
Your wife is pregnant and due while the season is underway. Your team is doing fairly well in the standings. You’re considered one of the leaders on your NFL team. If your wife goes into labor on game day, do you miss the birth? This is what’s facing both Charles Tillman of the Bears and Ben Rottesberger of the Steelers. Although in most cases births go smoothly, nothing is 100% and Tillman knows that from the complications that occurred with the birth of his first child. Besides, there’s no push present large enough to erase the anger of your wife if you intentionally miss the birth. I just hope Tillman has the same support of his football family that Ben has been given.

If your father worked for you, would you be able to fire him? That’s a question that may cross Lane Kiffin’s path. His father Monte runs the USC defense. The defense that has given up yardage like it was the land rush. Add to this the Nerf footballs the student equipment manager has been putting out there, it’s enough to cause some sleepless nights. Of the on air personnel, only McLovin and Seton still have fathers so Dan wasn’t going to go around the room, as he usually does, to see how everyone would vote. Maybe we could have worded that poll question differently.

A man in termoil, Lane Kiffin

Seton paid up a portion of his bet debt and wore the tiger costume with tiger face paint. He was such a funny little kitty playing with the basketball, drinking coffee and sliding the control board knobs. Such a cute kitty.

Here kitty, kitty!  Have a little Devil's Cut and you'll feel better.

Are these parents for real? There was a review of several college hoops player names than you would swear were made up and part of one of Fritzy’s mock pieces. Everyone’s favorite, including mine, was Peter Jurkin. Really mom and dad, you didn’t think that one through did you. To see more of these well thought out names check out http://rushedthecourt.wordpress.com/2012/11/01/top-50-names-in-di-college-basketball  Speaking of names, Tampa Bay Buccaneer's Doug Martin isn’t crazy about his nickname, Muscle Hamster, and wants another one. Isn’t a nickname something that’s given to you and not something you get to decide? The Tampa Tribune gave it a shot with Pocket Rocket and Skid Mark. They were joking, right? They know what those things are, don’t they? Fritzy did have about a dozen great options. Should the opportunity arise, Dan may use his favorite on FNIA – Little Buckaroo.

What a furry little belly you have!

The passion bucket got two more dollars today. One from Dan and the other from…repeat offender McLovin. This sloppiness just contributed to Dan’s mood. I’m sure this week Dan wanted to have a good showing, after all this is the first week the show was being broadcast on NBCSN. During one of the look ins Dan had had enough. There had been too much goofing off and mailing it in. Every day is the Super Bowl on the show isn’t it? After returning to his side of the studio he must have felt he came down too hard on the guys. He came back and started to say there’s a reason he likes to come to their side of the room but Seton had to turn him away and send him back to where he came as they were coming back from commercial.

I think someone copied
DP's hair style

Dan did it again! He guessed Fritzy’s cougar of the week in only two clues. Fritzy did not take it well and had a hard time focusing on the box appearance in his blue funk. Who was the COTW? Julianne Moore.

COTW Julianne Moore

Is your favorite magazine the same as one of the Danettes? Paulie – GQ, McLovin – Sports Illustrated, Fritzy – Playboy, Seton – Tiger Beat Baahaha!!! No surprises here!

Mark McGwire, hitting coach for the St. Louis Cardinals, spoke openly about the mistakes of the past, learning from them and teaching his boys life lessons from his actions. Nothing worthwhile is easy. You always have to work for something and that there are second chances in life. Mark’s second chance has given him the opportunity to be home to raise his sons as well as do something he loves and enjoys as a new career – teaching others the art of hitting the ball.

Happy with his second chance opportunity
