Independence Denard: The Integration and Infiltration

PREVIOUSLY IN OUR STORY: Many ridiculous things happened! Desmond Howard's lower body was cloned by a nefarious organization bent on Michigan world domination. It was subsequently abducted by J Leman. Seven years later, Leman captured Tom Brady and brought him before Bob Zook and a duck, whereupon James Earl Jones and Lawrence Kasdan convinced Leman his actions were un-American, whereupon he freed Tom Brady, whereupon Tom Brady impressively KICKED the duck into a cloning machine, whereupon Bob Zook released Adrian Clayborn to devastatingly SACK Tom Brady into the same cloning machine, whereupon said cloning machine said a lot of ominous stuff and did this:

explosion

As the smoke clears, three separate pockets of life stir…

jleman_thumb6 What the…?

duck_thumb6 Quack.

jleman_thumb6 Oh my God! Poor thing. I have to get you out of here.

duck_thumb6 Qua—. On second and long Michigan will run a draw or throw a screen. Third and long pass. Punt. Waggle comes after approximately 3.5 successful runs on drive; give or take x, where x is a complicated polynomial expression elided. Quack. Jim Herrmann's favorite defense in a late-game situation is called "Charmin." Yost. Quack. Quack.

billbelichick_thumb6  Goddammit, where's Brady? Get him in here again.

charlieweis_thumb13 Quack.

tombrady2_thumb9 He says the Rams' two-minute defense has obvious weaknesses against four verticals.

billbelichick_thumb6 You got all that from "quack"?

tombrady2_thumb9 Definitely. I'm telling you, he gives us a decided schematic advantage.

billbelichick_thumb6 To me he just seems like a hideously malformed being with an enormous waist that says "quack" all the time.

tombrady2_thumb9He's a super genius. Srsly.

billbelichick_thumb6 Well, all right. Maybe that tip will come in handy tomorrow. I've got to go meet with the defense.

Good stuff and I'm glad that we can finally start laughing again. Also, since I am an AFLAC Agent It's nice to see a little marketing on display at my favorite website.  Keep up the good work Brian. Looking forward to the UFR!!

Ouch

My brain!

I got it all... I think.

Edit: A breakdown for everyone, and to see if it all makes the sense I think it does.

Denard Robinson is Tom Brady's torso on Desmon Howard's Legs.

Juice Williams is an evil duck on Desmond Howard's Legs.

Charlie Weis is fat Tom Brady's torso on an evil duck's legs.

I'm pretty sure you're right, but I don't understand how:

1.  The ducks have hands.

2.  Denard has dreads.  Brady has some dreamy hair.

How is it that no one's commented on THIS yet?

Between this and the various cloned-duck permutations, I have laughed way more than I should tonight, considering my throat is a bit sandpapery at the moment.  Thanks to both you and Brian for making my day of illness suck a bit less.

Yep, I agree

Not a big fan of these things (especially when they are done frequently).   But everyone tis' their own... or something like that.

+1 to you

I was going to say _literally_ the exact same thing, and lo and behold, there it was.

(Michigan) Man does not live by vegetables alone.

You need to throw in a little dessert every once in awhile (albeit Pixie-Stix in this case).

I don't think I am smart enough (nerdy enough?) for these. My head hurts.

 

Well...done?

Lawrence Kasdan?

Not to get all geeky...but I'm confused why you have a picture of Ghost Anakin and call him Lawrence Kasdan?

Ghost Anakin was played by Sebastian Shaw (before being removed in the DVD re-release and replaced by Hayden Christensen by ever fiddling George Lucas).  http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0789970/

Lawrence Kasdan is the screenplay writer for Empire and Jedi and maybe some others.  http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001410/

 

If the mis-match is intentional then it flew over my head.

 

cheers

It looks to me like Kasdan is

It looks to me like Kasdan is matched to his own photo, not Shaw's.  Plus his inclusion in the conspiracy for Michigan's world domination makes sense, since, like JEJ, Kasdan (1) attended Michigan and (2) made significant contributions to the good Star Wars movies.

Thanks for pointing it out and +1 for you.  I didn't realize the M connection for Kasdan but that explains why he refers to James Earl Jones rather than Vader.  I was obviously wrongly thinking that the ghost picture was Kasdan in the reference as oppossed to still being James Earl Jones.

I'm always learning something new from Brian's multi-level references and amazing grasp of pop-culture and Michigan.

Cliff Notes

For those of you who had trouble understanding this series:

Quick notes:

  • It's humor
  • In 2008, Brian did one of these that was the spoonful of sugar to make that awful season go down.
  • J Leman was an Illinois linebacker who could tackle, making him a hero to UI, whose class photo with a huge mullet and U.S.A. tie endeared him for life to bloggers world- (i.e. Big Ten)-wide.
  • Mr. Burns and Darth Vader are clandestine evil chairmen.
  • Sometimes just writing words in English doesn't quite convey the feeling of something. This is when art kicks in. You are meant to wonder at the potential awesomeness of a Tom Brady with Desmond Howard legs, and then wonder at the fact that this perfectly describe's Denard's start vs. UConn.

On with the show:

Part I: The Dark Before the Dawn

  • A band of secret, powerful men meet in 1992 to discuss a nefarious plot to make Michigan good for all-time by cloning Desmond Howard.
  • This plan has a setback: they can only clone Desmond's legs. The scientist is ordered to dispose of the legs.
  • This secret group is also planning to position Bob Davie as Notre Dame's head coach, since part of their plot is to destroy ND football.
  • Before the legs can be destroyed, J Leman busts in and steals them.
  • We follow Leman back to Illinois, which is run by a talking duck, and where Ron Zook's evil twin is involved in a  sub-plot to destroy Michigan because they think we are their rivals (running joke: they believe they are our rivals).
  • The "evil twin" trope is from an Original Start Trek episode where Spock's evil twin was distinguished by having a mustache and goatee.
  • Illinois has kidnapped Tom Brady, who can't figure out, having been told only that his tormentors are Michigan's arch-rivals, exactly who has kidnapped him (Ohio State? Notre Dame? MSU? Minnesota?)
  • J Leman is visited by Jedi apparations who convince him what he is doing is un-American. Leman turns on Illinois
  • In the ensuing violence, Tom Brady, the legs of Desmond Howard, and the duck are thrown into a cloning machine, which explodes....end of Part I

Part II: The Integration and Infiltration\

  • J Leman awakes. He sees a duck atop the legs of Desmon Howard. The duck/Desmond knows everything about Michigan and how to torment Michigan, but is otherwise useless.
  • Tom Brady awakes. He finds an incredibly bright, incredibly fast half-Brady/half-Desmond Howard. This being shows it is capable, unlike Brady, of defeating really good defensive ends like Adrian Clayborn.
  • Bob Zook wakes and finds a half-Brady/Half-Duck that can only quack. Also, the Illinois duck can now only say "AFLAC." Since the duck can no longer make decisions, Zook uses this to get his brother Ron installed as the next Illini head coach.
  • Outside, Leman discovers the Duck/Desmond thing knows a ton about beating Michigan but nothing else. He names it "Juice Williams."
  • Brady and the Brady/Desmond thing emerge from underground and are rescued by hot models and Gisele Bundchen.
  • Bob Zook gets the Bradyduck stoned, and ever-after the quacking Brady/Duck needs to eat incessently. Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen arrive and steal the Brady/Duck away.
  • 3 years later, Tom Brady has made the Duck/Brady with munchies abomination into Charlie Weiss, and convinced Bill Bellicheck that Weiss is a great offensive coordinator -- this is all a plot to install Weiss as Notre Dame's head coach.
  • 4 years later, the Brady/Desmond super-smart super-happy super-awesome abomination is Denard Robinson and playing for a Florida high school. In order to hide its abilities until they are needed, Weiss is used to ruin Denard's stats.
  • Meanwhile, but 2008 the Duck/Desmond abomination, Juice Williams, is using its incomparable knowledge of Michigan football to make Mike Williams totally incapacitated and destroy Michigan.
  • By pre-season 2009 Denard is on campus at Michigan and expectations for RR are high, but they discover that Denard (either through having some genetic duck in him, or because he was subjected to Weiss) is a year away from being useful.
  • In 2009, Juice Williams destroys Mike Williams and the Michigan defense again, but in every other game he is exactly as competent as you would expect a duck with Desmond Howard's legs would be.
  • Denard Robinson gets a "montage" so as to get good at football. As soon as he has done this, he is awesome and demolishes Connecticut. Rich Rodriguez smiles: Notre Dame's program has been demolished, J Leman has been turned to good, and we have Tom Brady with the legs of Desmond Howard at quarterback.
  • This is good.

Yes true,

but it really did have to be explained.

It's like reading the comics in the New Yorker.  There's always one or two really obscure ones that you don 't get.

This was so good that I am upset with the fact that there are no plans for a trilogy.
