So we start hour number three. Welcome back. Good afternoon. I am Jim Rome. The show is brought to you by FanDuel.
Speaking of FanDuel, we will have a FanDuel segment tomorrow with James Kelly because I'm not going to work on Thursday or Friday because it is Parents' Weekend in Boulder. Our younger son Logan Rome is a senior, so that will be our last Parents' Day. Jake has moved to Brooklyn. Logan is in Boulder. Logan, man, quick side side bar.
Logan and his boys; these guys are crazy. Like they they go to shows, shows all over the place, all the time. They fly out. They find a way to get themselves there. Logan's got a job, so he's paying for his flights.
I don't even know what the kids do in half the time.
So he shows up in Coachella for an EDM festival. And it's pissing. It's raining hard this weekend, hard in SoCal, and we need the water badly. It's been so hot, and all of a sudden the sky just opened up.
So he and his boys are in Coachella, and they're in a tent, and it's a big ass tent. It's part of the group that did the Moab, and by the way, the Moab was this past week too, and they shut that thing down. They canceled it midway through the race because the weather was so bad. And remember, last year Paulo Logan's best buddy ran the Moab, and the whole team was a part of that. Logan ran like ninety of the miles.
Paulo ran two hundred and forty miles. He started and finished that race, and the weather conditions were horrific, like the worst ever. They said, and this year's were even worse, and they didn't finish the race. Meantime, the this crew, I got to give it to these kids. These kids are all like from the Berbs.
Upper, I'd say upper middle class, Orange County, live in the bubble, and they're roughing it, man. I give them credit.
So they're in a big ass tent, and then they get washed out, and there's no way they're getting in a hotel or a motel. One, they don't want to pay for it. Two, they probably can't get in anyway.
So these kids are napping it out in the car. Spent the night in the car. Which I was proud of because I don't want that phone call. Like, hey, you old pop, Logan knows better. He's not calling us.
He's not calling us for any help.
So I don't really know how that ended up. Only that he made it back to Boulder, and Janelle and I are going to find him for Parents Weekend, which is a long way of saying he slept in a car, and I'm going to see him on Thursday and Friday, and I won't be here. All right. With that said, we all right. We go to the chat.
No, no, we don't. Chat. I'm doing just fine without you. I'm not saying stop doing it because I'll get back there at some point. Never say never.
I'm just saying, chat. Don't think you made me. I was doing just fine for 35 years without you. You're getting more and more aggro.
So let's go back to the content. And phone lines still ringing. Still, people on hold. One eight zero zero six three six eight six eight six. All right.
So what I'm trying to figure out is exactly how this second defensive coordinator thing is going to work for the Cowboys. Excuse me, senior defensive assistant is what the Cowboys are now calling Mike Pettine. A.K.A. the guy that they hired to help out their struggling D.C. Christian Parker, small problem.
Mike Pettin has way more experience than Christian Parker, and Parker appears to have no idea what he's doing. Pettin. He's been coaching NFL defenses for over twenty years. Christian Parker, while he had some value to the Eagles, has been an NFL defensive play caller for I don't know a month, and it's been a pretty disastrous month.
Meanwhile, Pettine has been an NFL head coach and spent the last four years chilling with KOC in Minnesota as his assistant head coach. And I don't know if you've been noticing Dallas, but they tend to win a lot of games up in Minnesota there, D. Last few years, and they tend to play much, much, much, much better defense than the Cowboys do. Jera, I know you've noticed this, or you wouldn't have gone to that staff to get that guy.
So. Who would you listen to if you were a Cowboys defensive player, and who would you like to be calling the plays and calling the shots if you were management or a Cowboys player? Yeah, because that's not going to be an issue for Parker or anything. But hey, maybe Jera didn't hire Mike Pettine to be a second D coordinator or to replace his D coordinator without firing his D coordinator. Maybe Jera.
Just want to hire a head coach or somebody with head coaching experience, just in case he wants to bleep can Shotty, or Parker, or both midseason. Not likely, knowing Jera the way Jera does things, but possible. As I mentioned about chat, never say never. I would just say it's probably not a great sign that, in addition to hiring Pettin, the Cowboys are also pulling Christian Parker off the sidelines.
Now they're going to have the guy upstairs in the booth. That all feels pretty familiar, doesn't it? And it also feels like a full-on demotion, doesn't it? Especially when you consider the Cowboys made the exact same move last year with Matt Eberflus when everything started to go to crap, and we all know how that ended with the Flus being shown the door right after the season. But I'm sure everything will be immediately better for Christian Parker, right?
I mean, what would he have to worry about? Other than this, Ed Warder post on X, Warder Ed NFL quote: "The Cowboys are carefully representing the hiring of Petten as somebody was here to support Christian Parker and offer advice based on his experience, but NFL coaches that I've spoken to who know Petten." And the dynamics of the situation with the Cowboys believe the more influence and responsibility Pettin has, the better for the team. One head coach who had Pettin on his staff quote, "They finally hired a real coach. Pettin is legit. Dallas will walk away with that division now." End of quote.
That's a hell of a take. Just adding Petten to help out means they're going to walk away with the division right now. If they were going to walk away with the division right now because of Petten, why wouldn't Jerry have hired Petten to be his head coach instead of Shoddy? Or is the division that ass? Or is that quote that wild?
Anyway, leave it to Jera to just hire a second D coordinator without firing his actual D coordinator, and then presenting it as a supportive move when it's really anything but.
Sounds like classic Cowboys to me. Classic, just like this soundbite from Jera that went viral this morning, which is also classic Cowboys and classic Jera. Was the clip from Jara that went viral today about the defensive hire that they just made? Of course not. Was it about anything related to his current football team?
Of course not. Was it all about Jera? Of course. Was it a kooky story about some Wisco lady mooning Jera and his grandkids like twenty-five years ago? Of course, that's what it was.
One of my greatest memories, and this is not the area you are talking about, was after the game against Green Bay, maybe twenty-five years ago. All of my grandchildren were very small. Four or five years old, and I had a car full of them. We had been up to watch Green Bay in Green Bay. It was so cold, and as we left the stadium, we won.
As we left the stadium, we were in a long, big car, and I saw this lady headed toward the car, and she comes up beside the car, running. She's so upset as a Green Bay fan. And she was pretty hefty, and she turns around and pulls it all down and just plants it right up against the window. And everybody inside was in awe and couldn't believe it. And then her skin, her skin, stuck to the window.
It was so cold. And and when she pulled away, there was just a big print. Sitting there, my word! There were about ten or eleven of us in the car, and we can still see it today. Good one, Jera.
He called that one of his greatest memories. You know why that's one of your greatest memories of the last 25 years because you haven't won anything in the last 25 years. Of course, when somebody says, "Hey," first of all, they didn't ask him. I don't think for one of his greatest memories of the last 25 years, he just volunteered that because it's one of his greatest hits. I'm sure that's on high rotation.
I'm sure he breaks that thing out at least once a week. Anyway, he's telling this story about some hefty backer woman, and we won hefty. Hefty, who just dropped it all, planted her butt cheeks up against the window to the horror of the little grandkids, and that's one of my greatest memories. Right, because you can't point to any great memories of any great wins. Just hefty women with big old butt cheeks up on your window that are still there.
That's one of your greatest memories. Man, this dude's lived like a pretty remarkable, pretty iconic life.
Now that said, he hasn't won anything remarkable or iconic in the last thirty years.
So if you're asking him one of his greatest memories, especially over the last twenty-five years, that's what he's going to come up with. I don't know, Jerry. Even football aside. Even football aside, you you have lived a pretty remarkable life. I remember when I interviewed Jerry for the first time; he regaled me with the great story about how he went all in when he bought the Cowboys—literally everything he had to the center of the table.
Man, a hundred and fifty mil—that's every cent, everything he had. He bet on the Cowboys, America's team, and look what it paid off, man! He's got the richest franchise ever. What a remarkable life! One of the all-time American success stories, and yet one of his greatest memories is of some hefty chicken, Green Bay, smashing her ass up against the window.
Pretty hefty, pulling it all down and scaring the grandkids to death. And by the way, those cheek prints are still there. Just a big print. Just a big print. Notice he's not talking about some great win.
Is one of the greatest moments. God forbid, right? They'd have to give Gemma some credit. Just a fat chick with fat ass cheeks stuck to his fat window. Not even a business triumph, pretty hefty.
But just Wisconsin woman who decided to move his car 25 years ago. Thanks for that, Jera. As always, I'm sure that story made Cowboy fan feel much better about everything. I'm sure now they'll run away with that division. What with the reset of Wisconsin woman, we had Portland woman, and now we have Wisconsin woman.
Great story, Jera. Thanks for sharing. Thanks for sharing that with us. How about your head coach? How about your defense?
How about whack? How about whack getting hooked by some third-party employee? How about any of the things that matter, Jera? And I feel badly for those hosts who have to laugh. They don't laugh; they probably get fired.
There is no way they thought that was funny. There's no way anybody thought that was funny. You know why nobody thought that was funny? Because it wasn't funny. Jera, do something to help the team.
That story's not helping anybody with anything. It's just showing how far out there you are. That's not. That's not helping them, Jara. That's hurting them, and you shouldn't be talking about hefty women and their butt cheeks on the radio, man.
Just a big print. Or the big print, man. All right, let's go to the chat. Let's not. No need.
When we come back, wow! Phone line still ringing. Love to see it one eight hundred six three six eight six eight six.

Application times may vary. Rates may vary. One quick question for you: Why is Old Trapper Beef Jerky so amazing? Why don't we start with the fact that? It's a family-run business, a family-run business that I know, and a family-run business that stands by quality and produces the world's finest beef jerky.
Do not be fooled by the other brands. All beef jerky is not the same. Make sure you choose Old Trapper. You can actually see the quality right through their iconic clear view packages. They do that on purpose.
They want you to know exactly what you're getting. Every single bite of Old Trapper is tender. It's never tough because they use just the best ingredients. Once again, they don't. Need to do that.
They choose to do that. From their lean strips of beef seasoned with top quality spices to their real wood fired smoke, Old Trapper delivers quality in every single bite, and it comes in four amazing flavors: old fashioned classic beef jerky flavor, exceptionally tender. It's smoky. It's delicious. Also teriyaki with the yellow label, where Old Trapper turned the flavor dial to eleven.
Hot and spicy, with a spice so nice you know you're gonna want to stack twice. And then you've got peppered tender seasoned beef covered in cracked pepper, a cold beer's best friend.
So grab and go with a four ounce bag, or load up with an eighteen ounce bag. That way there's enough for the entire team. If you don't see it, and you will, but if you don't see it, ask for it by name because no other jerky compares. Old Trapper, what is your beef? All right, some more reaction.
Three hour show, so we're not done yet. Not even close.
So you won the argument last night.
Some guy in the comments said your team is done. You came back with stats, receipts, and a gift. Game over. Not so fast. He searched your username.

Jamie Green Bay is in. If Albert is this mad about you rooting for the Brewers, wait until he finds out your stance on cockfighting or daughters in porn. I know, right? What's going on, man? What's going on, man?
Jamie and Green Bay back to back, like me on Bourbon Street. That hefty Packer chick left half herself on my car window. Twenty percent of me has been left on berthing street. Forty percent of that hefty gal is on my windshield. Hundred percent of that hefty ass is on my passenger window.
Twenty-five years later, DXA Jim, the Brewers are going to win it all. They have the energy and the swag and the Dodgers, or that the Dodgers had last year. You can feel it, Damian in Vancouver. Man, Wisco Jim hope so. Wisco Jim hope so.
This is from Karlon Prescott. Dear Chat, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Signed clones who are still on X. I told you I. I'm not playing favorites here.
Whoever makes it better, X is also still involved. We're still reading from X. Let's go back to the phones. Hey, Chat, I'm gonna get to you. I will as soon as the phone calls run dry and they're no longer better than what you're dishing.
But right now, the phone calls are still better. Let's go to Will in Denver. Yo, Will, what's going on with you? Hey, Romy, what's good, man? Thanks for the vine.
You got it. Hey, this is a PSA for Vic and NoCal. This is your brain on C dot's nemesis. You can block me in the chat all you want, brother, but you have to listen to my ass on the phone. I recently found your X page again, and man, I gotta say that stuff still reads like a Unabomber manifesto.
But that banner picture of yours, man, I gotta say it's pretty good fake. Making you look like A. Rod, making out with Nir, until you got a little bit of Photoshop in there. You got that mattress perfectly staged in the corner of your one-room Unabomber shack. But the part that stuck out to me the most: A.
Rod's arms are just jacked on the steroids. Vic, in that picture, your arms—they have less definition than the word "woman" in today's society. I mean, let's be real here, brother. How did you even find the time to put something together like that? For four months out of the year, you're out spinning signs on the corner for Liberty Tax Service or H&R Block.
Then the other eight months out of the year, you're stealing Hellcats and taking over intersections in Ishole, Northern California. Finally, Rome. Amber in Portland called out Caleb Williams on X for having a vagina she could see from two thirds across the country. And Amber, I gotta say, that was a damn good blast, girl. But we really need something to compare that to.
So allow me. Caleb Williams might be dragging his manjine out onto a field in front of ninety thousand people and competing for wins in the NFL. But what's Amber doing with hers? Besides dragging it around town, leaving a trail for that slug tracker, Ira Craig. Romey wore big, being a gutless wonder.
Wore the Denver clone stock this weekend. I'm out. Wow, Will. You see, you see, chat. This is why we're rolling telephone calls.
Is there a Denver clone stock this weekend? Is there a Denver clone stock this weekend? First of all, dude, that was pretty gnarly about Amber. And you've got that beef, obviously, with Vic, who you say blocks you on chat, but he can't block you on the phones. Is there actually a Denver clone stock?
How far is Denver from Boulder? Would Dodger Jano sign off on our attending a Denver clone stock? Doubtful since his parents' weekend, but I will be in the same state. If there's a Denver clone stock, I'd like some deets. Not because I'm coming, because I'm not.
But I just want some deets. I'm all about clone stocks. I love when you clones mobilize to come together and gather.
So somebody hit me up. Let me know. Rolling telephone calls, man. That was pretty harsh. But see what I mean?
They're getting better and better and better and better. One eight hundred six three six eight six eight six. Phoenix was the place that kind of put this all in motion yesterday.
So why don't we go back there right now, Patrick? In Phoenix again, another telephone call, Patrick. What's going on with you, Romy? Romy, pimp in the box after defending Drake Greenlaw yesterday. I had no choice but to call back after Monday Night Football.
I'm tired of everyone criticizing Allrick Jackson for punching Bradley Chubb. Buffalo won in overtime. Jackson threw a punch after the game, meaning the punch occurred during neither regulation nor overtime.
So, if the NFL wants to discipline a player for something happening outside the game, where exactly does its authority begin and end? Are we flagging players in the parking lot, calling unnecessary roughness at Thanksgiving dinner? The final whistle has to mean something, Rome. Hmm. If this keeps up, the NFL Players Association might have to put me on retainer to defend these players exercising their First Amendment right to punch or headbutt somebody they don't like, which would be crazy because I'm not an attorney; I'm just a guy who sells meatballs for a living, pasta.
Hmm. I like the strategic use of hmm in the middle of every call that he makes.
So, if you're watching this on the stream right now, he comes over and oh, pretty good shot. Chub said something and pointed. Bam! It's a short right hand. I'm watching this.
If you're missing on the radio. Chub kind of points at him, and let me see if he makes contact. It's tough to see. He gets out that right finger, and if he touches him, okay, I could see. Look, if he makes contact, that's a reason to go.
Now the NFL might not see it that way, but I think anybody on a street. If somebody pokes you in the face, you're gonna let the hands go. It almost looks like. First of all, if you're jabbing a finger on somebody, the other guy's gonna let the hands go. He almost looks like.
I don't know if he was kind of touching his lips, like shut your mouth. It looks like he made contact. I will say, given the nature of that short right hand. Chubb only took a back. The only he didn't even he took one step back.
Like he absorbed the punch pretty nicely, and then didn't escalate. Didn't escalate, which surprised me. Like, how do you get punched in the face and then not throw a punch back? Which he didn't.
Now his teammates did jump. His teammates did jump in and grab him, but that even the Rams. Yeah, let's go. That's enough. That's pretty funny.
Hmm. Maybe Chubbs looked at him like what happened was it was the end of a game, and of course they went with the nonsense about you know things were really emotional. It was an emotional night, tempers flared, but not so much that they weren't exchanging jerseys. They were exchanging jerseys afterwards, and then they exchanged words, and then Chub got punched in the face. Hmm.
So, what he's saying is, well, okay.
So, how was that not grounds? He he took that back to yesterday's call about Drake Greenlaw and wanted to know why Greenlaw was suspended. It is. I'm sure there will be discipline, and there it is. Shefty says.
29 minutes ago, Jackson is expected to be suspended two games, two games for punching Bills outside linebacker Bradley Chubb during Monday night's post game gathering. Per sources, but the NFL has not yet notified the team nor the NFLPA.
So the NFLPA, I'm sure, will have something to say about that. But yes. If you want to know well what happens, where do we draw the line? If it happens after the game, is it okay? If it happens in the street, is it okay?
No. If it happens on camera in front of everybody on the field, somebody's getting suspended. And in this case, according to Sheffy, Jackson is expected to be suspended for two games. Dumb man, dumb. That is your left tackle.
Bro, keep your bleeping head. You're two and three. You're the left tackle. You got to provide blindside support for your 38 year old quarterback. Don't be doing that.
Hmm. Hmm. You're making it worse. You already lost a game in overtime that you should have won at home, and now you've taken yourself off the field for two games, and you're making it worse because you can't keep your head. The Rams.
Still committing penalties even after the freaking game was over. Damn, that's dumb, man. That's dumb. I don't know what was said. And you know, you know what they always say: you always get the guy who threw the second punch.
Right, right. What are you gonna say? Chubbs started it. That's not gonna work. Mmm.
Dumb man. Still getting penalized, and not not penalized, but suspended after the game. You want to talk about adding insult to injury? Dumb man. Where is the discipline?
What happened to the discipline of the Rams? I mean, we knew their special teams were horrible. They always are. But all these penalties, and now a suspension for something that happened after the game when players were exchanging jerseys. Dumb.
Mmm. Wow. Let's go to the phones. Dumb. Let's go to the phones.
Why not? One eight hundred six three six. Eight six, eight six. We can wait. All right.
So, Bradley Chubb on his interaction: "Quote, it's just emotions." See, like I said, he said it. "Quote, they always catch the second guy, so I let him swing, and then my teammate held me back, and I just chilled." There you go. That actually, it actually answered my point about how do you let a guy hit you in the face and do nothing? He just said it. It's just emotions.
They always catch the second guy.
So I let him swing, and then my teammates held me back, and I just chilled. Like he's like, I baited him, man. I hooked him. I was the first guy. They always catch the second guy.
He's like, that's why I'm good. I'm cool. We wanted to. I'm cool. They're dragging.
They're dragging. Meanwhile, they're dragging him out of there. They're dragging him out of there. I'm sure the Rams will present this in the appeal. Amen.
He didn't throw the first punch. He just said it. They always catch the second guy.
Yeah, but he kind of jabbed his finger at you, sort of, kind of, and you went with a full short right hand and connected. If optics matter, so we'll see if anything happens to Chub Jackson. Got two games, Jackson. All right, let's break. We'll come back.
I don't know. Are we going to make it two full days? Without chat getting on the air, hey callers! If you want to box out the chat, call up. If any of you want to box out chat for two full days, because chat's getting pretty uppity, actually.
Box out one eight hundred. Six three six eight six eight six. Or anybody on X, you want to box out chat? Hey X, you've been so bent since chat arrived. Do your thing on X.

We are scheduled to speak to Bruce Arians. La bia. Scheduled to run down Moose Johnston, who we had last week, but couldn't run down. And it looks like we'll run him down tomorrow.
So good things tomorrow. And then I'm off on Thursday and Friday. And you know, Chad, hopefully, Chad, you're back in tomorrow. I mean, damn, Chad, hopefully, you're back in before the end of today. But if I can't get you in today, hopefully, you're in tomorrow before I take off because man, a week without Chad.
Hey, chat. Let me ask you something. How many of you in chat right now are high? Honestly, how many of you are high right now? That's why you're not getting on the air, because I don't really trust you.
You just sound high. You read high. You read high. I'm looking for sober people. You know what else?
I'm looking for energy. Not like yo, bro. Yo, yo, Frisco fan. Yo, chat. Yo, chat member.
Pass the cron. Pass the flower. Let me hit that flower. No, I want some energy. I want some clarity.
I want some. I want some lucid responses like this guy. I literally, actually, we'll go back to this guy again. This guy a second time is better than chat the first time, because I know this guy's got crazy energy. I'm even gonna allow it.
Matt in L.A. is back. Matt, that's how bad it is. Chat. I would rather take a second call from Matt in L.A.
today than go to any of your. High submissions. That's incredible, right? But that's what it is. Best submission, best energy, best take gets on the air.
Let's go to Matt for a second time. Matt in LA. Matt, good to have you back on. What's going on, Matt? Yo, pimp.
This is me calling back again. Much like my first two wives had with me, Jim. I've had second thoughts on the L.A. Dodgers. It's not Matt Toberbrah; it's Brew Tober, 'cause the Brewers are going all the way, Jim.
I don't know if I was smoking meth with V and the B out in that landfill where Homeboy made his phone call at smack off thirty, but I'm here to own my own foolishness, Jim. Bro, bro! If you want to pretend to be Matt in LA, not a very good call. You need to at least sound like Matt in LA, or at least more than you sound like Jeff in Richmond. You can't sound more like another caller if you're pretending to be the first caller.
You sounded more like Jeff in Richmond than you did Matt in LA.
So I thought that was funny in the sense that this is great. Matt in L.A. gets to be on a second time before any of chat gets through. It's crazy, but it wasn't Matt in L.A. There was some dude pretending to be Matt in L.A.
who sounded more like Jeff in Richmond. Nice try with that, whoever the hell you were. Wait, what is this?
Okay. All right. All right. It actually is. This is wild.
All right. So it actually is Matt. Like Matt's had enough. Matt's had enough of you morons pretending to be him.
So he's calling.
So what I said stands. I would rather take a second call from Matt in L.A. than I would a first submission from chat. We may make it through two full days without chat getting on the air. Because I know what I am getting with Matt.
Number one, he's sober. Two, he's got good energy, and three, he's Matt in L.A.
So crazy things come flying out of his hole. Let's do it. We go back to L.A. All right. So this time I know I have him.
This time I know I have not some guy pretending to be him who sounds like Jeff and Richmond. We go to L.A. Matt, my brother in L.A. Matt, what's going on? From Bel Air to Bellflower, from Inglewood to Ira's Puffin, from Kenoger Park to Chats' Not Worth Reading, and from Whittier to World Series, the Dodgers won't be in.
I always got your back, and thank God October will soon be over, and we don't have to listen to that Martin LA's rehash takes and old. Anymore, the Brewers are making the Dodgers look like the next baseball fan. That was not Matt in LA either. That was parody, Larry. Damn, Chat!
How pathetic are you, Chat? That parody, Larry, can get on the phones pretending to be Matt. Before I could get any of you up here, but he's smart. Perry Larry spending all his time. See, Perry Larry knows he can't get on the phones, ever.
So he spends all his time in chat. But then all of a sudden, chat can't get on the air.
So Larry's thinks to himself, "How can I get on the air? How can I get anywhere with Rome if he won't see me outside in Frisco on the sidewalk at Super Bowl?" He won't take my tall phone calls, and he won't take my chat submissions because he's not taking anybody's chat submissions.
So now everybody's calling up pretending to be Matt in LA. The hell, crazy! All right, you got me twice. I'll give you that. All right, so quick reset.
We're running out of time. We wait. Wait, wait, wait, wait! All right, all right. We have the technology now, and we're using it.
I made my point to these guys, like, "Hey, fellas, we have it. You know who's calling? Can we please not have people deaking us, pretending to be Matt in LA? We know we have the real thing. All right, with that in mind, because everybody's clowning him so hard." Let him set the record straight.
I thought he did earlier, but he deserves a chance to rebut all these clowns that are clowning him so hard. Let's go to L.A. Matt in L.A. The real Matt in L.A. What's up, dude?
Van smack from Bellflower to Beaver Dam, from Fox Hills to Fox Lake. You're welcome. You pukes. Mattober rolls on, and unfortunately for your boy Matt in L.A., Act Two of the Theater of Pain reared its ugly head to thwart the Matstradomus Dodgers in five prognostication again. Sam's Vince Mill and Pam Anderson's former apparatus, er, Tommy Lee.
But this L.A. motley crew was unfortunately the Dodgers with runners in scoring position.
So I'll get back to that pimp, but another LA story was pure Matt Tobr on MMNF. Jimmy Jam, where the arrogant, caffeine-wired, always vaping boy wonder, ah, Sean McBag, keeps running out that portly place kicker who can't split the uprights unless he's being used as a human cannonball. McBag apparently thought his dream team, LA Rams. Could dominate despite this futile fat bastard who has trouble with chipies unless they're on a sandwich tray or they're being sprinkled on chocolate chips from Mrs. Field.
'Cause you damn sure can't hit a chip shop field goal. And I guess they broke 'em off so at least McBag knows and McBag will fulfill another Matchgridamus prediction that the Rams will go eight and nine and miss the playoffs like the old Philly Vince Long chocolate. Chip Cookie Dream Team that fell flat on their face. But another Monday night McCobb Matt Tabor moment was the Tampa Bay Rays puking up home field advantage to the Tribe. The Indians are hotter than smoke signals in the playoffs, Romy.
So that's acceptable. But that's not why I called Jim. I called to wear it, to wear this Dodger loss, to wear it like Keger, Squeegy, Lanny from Hilda and the bearded ladies of Whisco. I'll be wearing. An extra epidermal layer this winter from all the ranch dressing shops and deep fried pickles that you wiseguys are consuming in the wake of this 2-0 NLCS lead that Murphy and the Brew Crew got you, obese sturgeon spear hurling suckbuds.
So enjoy it now, you Bill Plaschke threatening, cheese worshiping, cow tipping, cattle prod wielding freaks. The Dodgers will reverse this temporary curse, capture their third consecutive, and get that imminent threepeat. But until tomorrow night, Romy, I'm on my way. I'm on my way home, sweet home. Let's rock him.
Rack him, you see. A second phone call from Matt in the same show was still better than any first submission from Chat. Man, Chat, it's been a rough week, hasn't it? Tomorrow's a new day. Tomorrow is a new day.
This guy, I got people pretending to be him. I've got him getting through twice, getting racked both times. Incredible! It really is Matt Tober. It is Matt Tober.
