I just can’t get enough of watching Arthur Blanke getting down with it. Second only to that other rhythm machine, Tom “Boogie” Benson.

HBO should do itself a favor and hold off on pursuing any team until this mess is solved.

Maybe they’re too busy making a sequel to that stupid “Play 60″ school bus commercial that the NFL Network plays 100 times per hour.”

Totally agree with you. It’s a very good cause, but Holy Crap that commercial got played out.

Martin Mayhew may not beat out Belichick in the secrecy department, but he’s very close, and learning fast.

The Lions are focused on football, which is what Mayhew and Coach Schwartz want. Hard Knocks is for the Rex Ryans of the league, who think every day there’s a headline about their team in the news, that’s a good day. Look for one of the more clueless owners in the league to grab Hard Knocks, in the hope that it helps them sell tickets.

A couple of possible candidates might be Zygli Wilf of the Vikings, and Bud Adams of the Titans. Both teams are coming off bad seasons, need a boost in ticket sales, and neither owner has a clue what a serious distraction Hard Knocks would be to a team trying to groom a new rookie quarterback.

In addition, the history of both teams also suggests there would be plenty of ‘colorful’ quotes and incidents.

Maybe we can get Dee Smith to ask for a “God Damn snack!”
