The Notre Dame Fighting Irish had a rough day on Saturday.
Mine wasn't quite so bad. After four swings and misses, I persuaded Mrs. Florio to make the trek to New York for the taping of the halftime segment with Peter King and Jimmy Roberts.
But then she had the choice of watching the thing from the back of the studio or sitting out in the hallway while Saturday Night Live cast members milled about dress rehearsal.
And she chose to sit out in the hallway for the SNL dress rehearsal.
But she can still see what she missed, along with the rest of you who didn't catch the intermission period of Navy's sinking of Charlie Weis' battleship.
And, yes, another free one-year subscription goes to the best caption for the still photo below.
I wouldn't want to watch you either, now that I know you're anti-rookie pay scale.
Which one of these is not like the other . . .
Mike Florio gets a glimpse of himself 15 years from now and has to look away.
King: Hey Mike, do you think Mangini will be the coach of the Browns next year.
Florio: (mumbling) This fool sounds like a broken record.
All I can think about watching this is "What makes this guy credible?"
It's has always been enjoyable watching Mike Florio deliver his comments with rectitude; either in print or his videos with Joe.
I'm one of many who remember Mike back when.........etc.....since 1999?
It's a bit surrealistic to see Florio on the big stage embellishing his pensive opinions. And then I remember why I started listening to Mike in the first place. I'm proud of Mike, at least most of the time, and it's good that more of us (fans) to enjoy his work.

PETER KING:
"My God... Herman Munster Actually Turned His Neck."
hey peter how are you gonna go as a skunk when i told you that is what the misses is
Couple of thoughts...
- Don't spin too much...You look sometimes like you're watching a tennis match.
- Don't know how much control you have over this, but don't let King always get the last laugh...Too many times he gets a little word in which renders irrelevent whatever you just said...
Love the site, and the constant sarcasm, so keep it up!
"You play for a professional Football team? Here, in Cleveland? I didn't know we still had a NFL team." - Jake Taylor
....and Michael Florio, "He's actually 5'5", with the jewfro, 5'9", pretty good dribbler....
Mike: Hey Peter you should take the GM job for the Browns.
King: Sure, I can hire you as the coach, cant be as bad as Man-Genius is, and maybe the players will like you as well.
Mike: not a bad idea, what garbage team should I rob for players
KING: Hey Mike, is that your ol' lady in the hallway getting seduced from Mango?
KING: Look over there! It's little Visanthe!
FLORIO: All of a sudden I'm hungry for a kielbasa.
I can't believe I'm here with the big boys!
Hey Pete - even with his booster seat we're still both 4 inches taller than Jimmy!
FLORIO: "My sources tell me that congratulations Jimmy (Roberts), you've been named general manager of the Browns!"
KING: "Wow, who'd you tick off at NBC to get that gig?"
KING: And here's Mike's head coming around for a full 360....
Playing a fart noise whenever the Browns helmet is shown never gets old.
"Screw the Browns, let's get a look at Favre rubbing his groin again!"
UUUGGGHHH!!! Peyton Manning is a great player, but for his constant shill, peter king, to put in that "by far" in the MVP race is so funny. Almost every year, Indy's #1 pick is offence. He should be good.
Atleast give Brees and the "old guy in Minny some due. By far....UGH!
Caption: He..he..he...... did he just say Kopenis?!?!
Now that the Cryin Irish are assured of a toilet bowl appearance, how bout dedicating some time to fixing the login problem and restoring the comments Florio?
Haven't they invented "remote" capabilities for this lame show to connect to your house in West VA yet Florio? Travelling to the studio each week for this show is a time waster all the way around. Florio Jr may have a band gig one of these weeks - way more important than appearing on the half time show of a half a$$ed team that has made losing to Navy at home a habit.
The Browns have been ranked the 2nd best football team in the city of Cleveland...losing by a wide margin to the Cleveland City Stars of the United Soccer League.
King: Brett Favre, Brett Favre, Starbucks, Brett Favre, Pujols, Brett Favre,.....
Florio: Release the hounds
