Football Guy of the Week Nominees: CFB Week 13 and NFL Week 12
Last week, CFL fan Chris Matthew won the Football Guy of the Week vote after it was revealed that he hadn’t worn pants in 18 years and wouldn’t do so until the Winnipeg Blue Bombers won the Grey Cup. Well, luckily for him, that indeed did become reality yesterday. Switching gears to this week, we have a fine slate of nominees. Here we go:
Raiders HC Jon Gruden for calling a ref a “fucking cocksucking motherfucker.”
Mr. Cat and Mr. Commenter made a good point on today’s show. It probably would have been the smart thing to do for Coach Gruden to cover his mouth whith a playbook or folder to ensure viewers wouldn’t be able to lip-read this phrase. But on the other hand, Coach Gruden probably couldn’t case less that this is out there. He’s got bigger issues to deal with after yesterday’s loss to the Jets.
Michael Irvin for getting very spiritual when breaking down Cowboys-Patriots.
This seemed like a solid way for Irvin to pump up his former team. Unfortunately for him, it didn’t work, as Jason Garrett was content kicking a field goal late in the game.
Injured Youngstown State QB Nathan Mays for taking one last snap of his career despite being out for the season.
There is always room for a feel-good story on this weekly list, and more likely than not they emerge as the winner of the poll. But we will see what happens with this instance, as Mays showed true grit by suiting up for Youngstown State and literally being carried to the huddle to take one last kneel down.
Texas HC Tom Herman for pumping his players up by head butting them without a helmet.
Similar to Irvin, this seemed like it would be a great idea at first. But with the way Texas played, it’s safe to say it didn’t work. Also, this decision by Coach Herman might leave a mark or two on his noggin.
