Gamblers love company, prison uniform anyone?

Coming to you from the NYC long weekend studio -

Prison Uniform Anyone?
Are you one to fall for the latest marketing ploy? The Pittsburgh Steelers are hoping so with the jersey the players wore during the SNF game. Certainly neither McLovin, nor I would wear this prison uniform replica so why would you? Wear it to the wrong state or city you may be getting more than you asked for in return for your investment.
Without the name, do you think chain gang
or football member
Peter Makes New Friends
What will get you lots of unwanted attention? Tweet your personal phone number. We’ve heard or seen this done before either accidentally by the owner or intentionally by someone holding a grudge or pranking someone. Most recently, Peter King did this to himself. 350+ calls and 270+ texts later he has changed his number and upset PR people across a nation.
Peter is lonely no more
Someone Made Dad Mad
Another way to tick Dan off – don’t watch him on TV when he uses your material from the show during major network time. This is what happened Sunday. Dan dropped the "Little Buckaroo" tag on the Buccaneer highlights expecting he would get a thank you from Fritzy. Nothing. No text, no email, no phone call, not even an acknowledgement when he came in this morning. What did Dan get from Fritzy? A text about Faith Hill and Byron Leftwich’s legs. What was Fritzy doing when Dan bestowed this honor? Listening to the Broncos game. No surprise, but Todd should have watched or listened to the taped broadcast before he got to work in the morning. You never know when dad will throw a life test your way. Don’t look for this opportunity to come along again anytime soon Fritzy. Dad was sulky and mad most of the show.  Good job bro.

Text-worthy legs
I Want You Back
Could we see another new hairstyle from McLovin? Don’t be surprised if you do. Dan was complimenting Seton again today on how well the bet cut looked on him, comparing him to Brad Pitt from one of his movies. The green eyed jealousy monster came out of McLovin once again. What will McLovin do to get Dan’s attention back?

If you turn out the lights, are
these McLovin's eyes?
Coffee Table Idea
Quickie interview with new Cup Champ, Brad Keselowski, as they were going up against the hard break. Brad did manage a total of three hours sleep after taking a little too much advantage of his sponsor’s product, Miller Lite beer. He had that raspy alcohol voice that made him sound as if he had been a long time smoker. His only thought during the race was, don’t screw up. Gotta wonder if that went out the window after a few gigantic glasses of beer. Did you see any of his post race interviews? Maybe the end of that motivational speech Ray Lewis left on his phone said …and party like a rock star after you take the championship. Dan wondered how much of what Brad does is to be an entertainer. All Brad knew was that when he is an entertainer, it tends to get him in trouble or cost him money like it did last week, 25K. Maybe he got into trouble last night, maybe today, he doesn’t know yet but he’ll be able to afford it a little more now after he gets his cut of the 5.6+ million dollar check coming his way from winning the championship. What is a red flag like for a driver in comparison to the average person? Like sitting in the parking lot at the grocery store and you’d rather be checking out what’s going on elsewhere than go inside. Roger Penske, the car owner, will be keeping the winning car for his museum, so nothing coming to the man cave there. Dan was interested that they recycle the cars that will no longer be used and then crush them. Maybe a nice car cube table for the green room would be useful.

Just a the remote and a few
magazines and you're good
Gamblers Love Company
Always entertaining, Shae in Irving with his love/hate relationship with his Cowboys and his weekend gambling stories. Comical how he tried to get Dan to come back to the fold. Shout out to the sneaky good audience member who got a sign calling out Shae in Irving on ESPN College Game Day.

More unrest in the man cave, stab your sword, women of Buffalo

From the pre-show run down meeting:
If Dan fell asleep, how would he want it to be handled? We didn’t learn the answer to that question. There must be times that this may have occurred. Maybe during one of the lengthy against the grain segments that had no visual aids? Let’s take a trip down memory lane to one of McLovin’s more entertaining ATG segments.



The video open was an ode to those having quality time with Fergie’s bust, most prominently Fritzy. Hopefully Fergie didn’t see that open. If she did, hope it didn’t creep her out too much.

I just don't think Dan can pull off a C cup
As the world becomes even more PC:UCLA has a problem with the USC tradition of the drum major Tommy Trojan planting the sword mid-field before the pre-game show. Should the sword be planted at the game, the USC band will not be allowed to play at half time. Really? It shows a lack of respect? Don’t you need a bit of a lack of respect to feel a competitive edge and go out there and beat the other team? Over all of the years and all of the games that this tradition has occurred you choose to defeat your opponent this way? Is this the only way you can get it done? Let’s just all hold hands and play ring around the rosy. Just don’t take away what truly matters to Dan and the Danettes – the USC song girl outfits.


The latest sports victim to political correctness

If UCLA thinks planting the USC sword is disrespectful, I can only imagine what they would think if UCLA pulled off what the 2004 Yale students did at a game versus Harvard at Harvard. Take a look.




In a rare on air appearance, Two-a-Days gave us a SOTD. Shortly after Seton was called to the box at the top of the hour. Dan asked him before going into the box what was wrong. Typical kid to parent response – "Nothin’." "Why the sad face? Is it because you didn’t have a good first hour?" Sulky Seton went into the box to become Mr. Positivity and turn his frown upside down. It wasn’t because TAD did a stat of the day. Actually for his first time, he did better than Paulie who’s on mic regularly and has done SOTD a few times. The only bumming Seton is doing about SOTD comes from suggestions from the audience that he had tried, being a man of the people, that just didn’t work out and he took the heat. He says he has a good s-o-u-r-c-e (Jay Glazer?) for stat information and will be returning back to that game plan.
SOTD complications make
little Seton tired and grumpy
Seton’s going into the box at the top of the hour created another problem during the next break. Dan caught Seton coming out of his bathroom. You do not use Dan’s bathroom unless he gives you permission first. The staff bathroom was busy during the break and Seton really had to go the break before but couldn’t because of his box appearance. Seton’s solution, use Dan’s bathroom. Dan’s solution, next time pee outside. McLovin wondered if Seton thought he had the liberty because Dan and Seton had a private lunch yesterday. "Two men don’t go out to lunch together." Uh, yeah McLovin they do all the time. The lunches are just titled differently – "business lunch" or  "watch the game".

Maybe Dan needs a new sign for this door
More unrest in the man cave?So Seton had a private lunch with Dan Wednesday and is having another one today. From Dan’s Boss’ Thoughts segment: The Danettes are able to speak off the record about other Danettes to Dan. He does encourage them to address the issue directly with each other because DP does not want to be a go between and he doesn’t want there to be gossip. Well the gossip amongst the three remaining Danettes had already started. Are they talking about one of us? What are they talking about? Will this count against the rest of us being able to go out for beer and wings on Friday? So what do you eat at a private lunch? A shared basket of a dozen wings, two cheeseburgers and eight beers. We’ll see tomorrow if today’s private lunch plays a role in tomorrow’s show.
Can beer and wings solve the Danette issues?
Fritzy is loosening his grip on mock headlines when it comes to Sven in CA. Today Sven went 2 for 3 with Fritzy actually clapping at the last one. Fritzy has been too busy today pulling pictures of Samantha Steele from ESPN’s Game Day since he learned that she’s Christian Ponder’s, Viking QB, girl friend. The IT guy was in not long ago and there was only one computer that had issues. It’s never a good sign when you get the blue screen with white writing. The IT guy can thank Fritzy for being able to drive his nice, shiny Mercedes.

If your girl looked like Samantha,
would you mind answering questions about her?
It’s not Reggie Bush but McLovin who has some beef with the women in Buffalo. This was proven by audio that Two –a-Days had pulled out of the archives for an I Team report. I don’t know. I think for someone, who looks and acts like McLovin, he’s being far too picky.

The new Coffee Break with McLovin featuring Wild Bill, the cameraman, was sweet. As you would expect, Wild Bill steals the spotlight.

A little coffee banter with the wild one
