Ditkaless Wonders Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 (edited) So I am watching Mike and Mike this morning. They are showing clips of the press conference from yesterday pertaining to the players vote. Player rep Jeff Saturday takes the mike for comments one presumes he has had time to contemplate. He is going to comment on the importance of Robert Kraft's involvement in getting to a deal even in the face of his wife's condition. He states: "I don't want to be climatic, but ... [the deal doesn't get done w/o Krafts' involvement]" Really Jeff? We don't want you to be "climatic" either. He goes on to say that for Krafts' participation the players are very "gracious" We have not seen language use like this since Mike Tyson, a graduate of the Yogi Berra school of speach, proudly stated he was going to knock an opponent into "bolivian". My take, clearly the NFL needs to do even more to protect these guys from the ravages of concussions, or as Saturday might say "percussions".

peepinmofo Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 http://weblogs.baltimoresun.com/sports/rav...ng_lockout.html He also went on to say something about how he was brought in to just "piss everyone off", or something like that. When listening live in my car, I actually umm... "lol'd". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WaterMan Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Who can blame Saturday when he has mush mouth yelling behind his ear on every snap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duchess Jack Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 (edited) I can't imagine you can get by being Manning's center w/o being a smart guy. I fondly remember Dickerson's sideline reporting on MNFB. He wasn't very insightful, but he did remind me of a blind toothless blues singer. Kind of like Ozzy if Ozzy were black. Had a good beat and meter to it, kind of like scat (no Cliaz, not that scat). Didn't understand a word he said, and would prefer that to most sideline reporting.

Duchess Jack Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 good point. Dickerson talks about as well as I type - but unlike him, I can edit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chargerz Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I thought maybe Saturday had taken a bite out of somebody's ear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
