Givin' 'n Gettin', Be Like Gronk

Givin’ 'n Gettin’ 

Pawn in a vicious game of words

Dan didn’t start out at his best today, reportedly because of the meds he’s taking pre-surgery.  Picking up on the weakness and Dan’s fear of the upcoming surgery, Fritzy decided today would be a good day to pick on the boss and dig, dig, dig.  When Dan started to push back and the front row, Seton and Paulie, joined in, Fritzy decided things had gone too far and went from being a mean Danette, back to the big baby Danette. Fritzy made a final move by delivering a hurtful slice in answering the phone when Joe Montana called in.  It was decided long ago that when Paulie’s living football hero called in, he would be answering the phone so he could say a few words to him before Joe went on the air.  Fritzy knew what this meant to Paulie and when the phone rang, Fritzy who normally has to be told to answer the phone, jumped on it beating Paulie.  The reaction to the move was explosive and comical, especially if you were able to see the responses.  Fritzy’s move was done on purpose but with regret.  Could it be because revenge is a dish served cold and Paulie will be all over the phones the next time John Elway, Fritzy’s living football idol, is scheduled to call in?

Be Like Gronk 

Gronk likes to put on a show
Do the Dan and the Danettes?

Rob Gronkowski may have been holding back when he appeared on the show last Thursday in New Orleans, but he was back to his normal self when he was partying with friends in Las Vegas. Dancing sans shirt on stage with a couple of wrestling moves thrown in brought Dan down memory lane and he took a few of the Danettes with him with stories of shirts and no shirts.  

Danny gotta dance to Hootie

Dan was dancing shirtless in Glaskow, Scotland when he joined Hootie and the Blowfish when they were on tour long ago.  The drummer would perform shirtless and Dan always stayed within eyeshot of the stage.  It was blazing hot in the club so he took off his shirt while he was dancing.  He described his dancing as the Dougie but the Danny and creepy.  This left a lasting memory for Darius Rucker, the lead singer, and years later when he visited the Milford man cave he sang a song that included lyrics about the shirtless, dancing Dan.  

Buzzzz

Dan was also at an after Sports Center gathering of about nine guys years ago listening to RHCP where he was the viewer of a butt shaving.  Too much beer, too late the hour, too much time. Oh the things we missed learning about pre-smart phones, TMZ and social media!

Fashion swimwear

Seton during his seven year heavy party period during a good day of cups took off his shirt and put on his friend’s grandmother’s moo moo and later ended up in the koi pond. 

Any man would show what
he could for a camp
counselor like this

Fritzy recalled removing his shirt, strutting his stuff and showing off to senior counselors when he was a camp counselor in training. His back row partner, McLovin, had nothing to contribute, as usual.


It should be noted that when Dan asked this morning if any of the Danettes in their current condition would remove their shirt to dance if a persuasive female asked them to do so.  Seton and McLovin were a resounding no, Paulie would, and girdle, surgical scars and all, Fritzy would as well.  Pass on the last.

Sweet sweater vest!
Wanta trade?

Back to Paulie.  He wasn’t going to offer up any stories but Dan did for him.  A story that Paulie had forgotten about and had also forgotten that he had once told Dan.  At a frat party at Ole Miss, a girl that was wearing a T-shirt and sweater vest liked the T-shirt and sweater vest Paulie was wearing so they exchanged tops and then danced together. Oh young lust. 

Random Adam Sandler, Creepy Yet Flattering, & More

Random Adam Sandler
How was it that Adam Sandler had a soundless guitar at the 121212 Concert? A trap door closed on top of his guitar cord, so no sound. Although he’s a Knicks fan, because he lives in LA he’ll be seen at those games more likely and either on or near the floor or up in his agency’s suite eating chicken. Kobe indicated in an interview with Dan that he’d like to be in a Sandler movie. Sandler was up for that. The next role for Dan will be in a Sandler western themed movie wearing cowboy gear head to toe including what sounds like ass chaps and a possible love interest. Script to be in Dan’s hands in about two weeks. Sandler guaranteed he’ll be a cool, funny cowboy that’s solid and more manly than Dan’s role in Grown Ups 2. There was no talk of parts for the Danettes. They were given one shot to prove themselves in That’s My Boy and they must not have gotten it done. No background extras, no ranch hands, no little buckaroos, no Danettes. Sounds like the closest they’ll get now is a possible invite to the next NYC premier whenever that happens. The Danettes were one and done like a Kentucky freshman basketball player.

Limited Danette Love

Happy Friday Fritzy
John Elway will be calling in tomorrow and Fritzy will be additionally nervous and jumping to answer the phone. He may stumble on his words a bit, but who wouldn’t after getting a chance to speak to one of their sports idols. If this were Joe Montana or David Beckham calling in, it would be Paulie doing the same thing.

Will John's smile be as wide after Fritzy answers the phone? 

Naughty Not Nice
While looking at more ornaments that came in, in the back room, Seton noticed that someone sent in one of his favorite treats, boxes of TastyKakes. There was one box that was opened, and TastyKakes were missing. The finger was pointed at Wild Bill, one of the cameramen, but he may not have been the culprit. Which BRG, back room guy, or Danette just couldn’t wait to fulfill the need of their sweet tooth? That’s yet to be learned. Just another man cave mystery. Dan and the boys found themselves coming back from break when they were still in the back room. Everyone was scrambling to get back. Dan was stuck behind Fritzy who was not moving as quickly as others were and received a "Let’s go! Move your fat ass!" from Dan as a motivator.

Has Seton introduced his son to these delights? 
Betcha he did!

Seeking Heat Seeking Missile
The Seton/DP favorite yellow football is still missing. The focus shifted to Paulie today who denied knowing where the football was. The intensity of questions from DP picked up after Paulie made a remark about not being able to catch the ball normally. Fritzy chimed in that he never saw Paulie play with it. Paulie said after the questioning he felt like Tommy Tuberville did after he was peppered with questions from Dan about college coaches not finishing out their contracts when those same coaches preach that the program is all about the kids. Something to keep in mind, Paulie never directly answered Dan’s questions. The yellow football mystery continues as well. While Seton was taking a quick look around the front of the desk area he a Paulie share, he pulled out a black sombrero that has a back story that couldn’t be talked about. Hmmm, saying there’s something that can’t be talked about means they need to talk about this. We can only hope it will be sometime soon.

What dark secret does this hat hold?

TMS
You’ve heard of TMI, today the BRG (back room guys) had TMS, too much sound. The sound of Dan using the bathroom was most likely not desired. Better to hear Dan than when Fritzy is in here.

Add no mic to the sign please, 
Thank you - BRG

Fritzy’s Joy
Nothing was more satisfying for Fritzy today, when he was having a mediocre day, than someone else trying to do what he does, without success. Sven in CA called in with his mock headlines and struggled big time. Chanukah joy for Fritzy.

If Fritzy could, he would 

They Remembered Me!
Dan let us know that he got a Christmas card from someone at the Mothership. He wouldn’t say who because they’re all on scholarships there. Wonder how Seton’s doing on his occupy ESPN Christmas tree project.

There were wishes of holiday happiness from an  ESPN person to DP 

Creepy, Yet Flattering
An ornament grouping that came in from CA was revealed today. Dan’s head was on the star for the top of the tree. Each Danette head was covering the face of four different SI swimsuit models from the wall of morale. For the Danette’s, the new images are etched in their minds and they’ll never look at the wall of morale quite the same.

Thanks for sharing???
