That's from an old SNL skit.  I posted it a moment ago (28 second clip) but we'll see if it holds up.

One thing that doesn't go with a Jayden sandwich is stout.  Hopefully not a porter or any kind of ale.

Is pizza just an opened faced sammie?

Pizza is an honorific.  It is "Pizza".  And capitalize it.  That's how special Pizza is.

Just we are all clear,  here's the definition of a Sandwich:

 

"Merriam-Webster defines a “sandwich” to be “two or more slices of bread or a split roll having a filling in between” or “one slice of bread covered with food.” Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg even weighed-in on the topic, stating that under Stephen Colbert's definition of a “sandwich,” a hot dog is indeed a sandwich."

The reason why a hotdog (not a "hot dog") is not a sammich is because in a sammich, you have to remove the bun to put the condiments on, otherwise you're putting the condiment on the side of the sammich.  In a hotdog, you put the condiment on top of the wiener while it's in the bun.  (You can put the condiments in the bun and then add the wiener but the norm is put slather stuff on top of the dog.)

Wouldn't it be funny if Daniels develops a reputation for quiet, serious, intense study of the game, and mastery of practice, with the showmanship of John Riggins ("24th rushing TD of the season setting an NFL record?"  casually flips the ball to the nearest ref) but gets nicknamed "Hotdog" because of this discussion on his thread.

No, because there's nothing BETWEEN in a burrito.  It's INSIDE.  

 

Btw, I am now totally jonesing for a really good Reuben.  Damn, I love a good Reuben.  And there can be no debating whether or not a Reuben is a sandwich.  

A Reuben and a Cobb salad make this unbearable life worth hanging on for.

I get a game on my birthday.  Yay!

Is that the hit Dexter put on Danny White, ringing his clock? If so said he was going to do it before the playoff game, and backed it up. White was never the same after that game. Monte closing in too.

Dexter didn't just "ring his clock" (one of the best mixed metaphors of all time), Dexter also tipped Hogeboom's pass that Darryl Grant picked off and high-stepped into the endzone with to seal the game.  (Well, Riggo sealed it but big DG put it out of reach.)  If he coulda just stayed off the nose candy....  What a game-changer.

Fat AH had a relentless motor before he came to us and got overpaid. He was awesome. Same with Wilkerson.

It's Wilkinson, and with a great block from D. Green he had an 88 yd pick-6 against the Bears in 1999.  Oddly, Big Daddy had 4 picks while he played for us.  For a DT, that's pretty good.  Wilkinson was ok; Stumblefield was the real problem.

Except for . . . Doug Flutie. . . . 
Some guys just take longer to develop. 

To be fair, it took Flutie awhile to grow into it. . . .

(Those Flutie Flakes probably stunted his growth -- 28g carbs,13g  sugar, 1g protein.  Want to get big and strong?  Grass-fed beef, free-range eggs, extra sharp cheddar, mushrooms, onions, garlic, and wash it down with a cold Miller Lite.)

What about his athletic ability will start immediately eroding when he wakes up on his 27th birthday? 

Depends on the hangover....

That's a great video of Newton.  Unless he's got a secret dark side (and with a cute baby like that, I doubt it), there's no way he's going to slack off, not do his job, party hearty, etc.  Didn't having a kid turn things around for Sean Taylor? (RIP)

Slater is one example. I can’t name many tackles with 33 inch arms who are studs at the position in the example. Year after year, there are college tackles with short arms who the draft community pushes as tackles in the pros and, more often than not, they move inside. Alijah Vera Tucker is a great recent example of this.

Russ Grimm is even better.  "It's comin' at you, Randy"

That dude's [Turner's] separation ability was so bad he got tackled before he caught a pass.

Isn't that pass interference?  I've got no problem with a TE or WR whose separation ability is so bad they routinely draw PI penalties.

Rene' Bugner must be European.  They use "," in numbers where we use "." -- 3,72 vs  3.72.

So Johnny "Fig" Newton is the steal of the draft?

The Chig is up!

And when he gets cut, the Chig has gone away.

6'5/313, runs a 4.99-40, basketball background, and explosive?  Tight end!  Set a pick, catch the rock, and charging's legal in football.  Perfect safety valve for Daniels.

Because you didnt add a damn thing that helps your team for 2 or 3 years. Thats why. 

And paid $100,000,000.  That's a lot of zeroes not to pair it with Rome Odunze or any other force multiplier.  Literally *any* position other than QB would've improved the team they're spending a tenth of a BILLION $ on for one guy.

“We can’t address all of our roster issues in one offseason” - Washington fans every offseason since the signing of the Magna Carta. 

Mark May, Russ Grimm, Joe Jacoby, Dexter Manley, Charlie Brown, Clint Didier, Darryl Grant, Mel Kaufman, Otis Wonsley.

Dude's composite speed is weird.  Very slow acceleration.  Great footwork.

It's just common curtesy to thank the city hosting the event you're speaking at.  D. Green is a class act so he obviously did just that.

 

I really think you're looking for/trying to create something that's not there.  

Yeah, I think the last guy who would ever troll/clown anybody is Darrell Green.  They called Walter Payton "Sweetness" but DG28 just personifies that word.  Check out the 1987 America's Game on the Skins; DG is one of the participants.  "They didn't know me from a chicken."  Dude is as humble as he was great.

5'9/182?  Why not just bring Darrell back outta retirement?  He's already at the draft.  That would've been hilarious.  "With the 50th pick in the 2024 draft, the Commanders select, ME?"  He couldn't wear his old #28 though, it's been retired.

I think that's an EXCELLENT trade for us.  I can't be that mad about it.  

#78 moving up 25 spots to 53 is great!

3-man IDL?

What're the products or services being pitched in the commercials?
