Two observations from this installment of CTK:



- Funk looks like he'd rather be anywhere else than doing this interview

- I think offensive holding would've been called on Barnum at 0:50 - he is not in the proper position to take on Bolden's blitz

If you're not cheating you're not trying.  Holding could be called every single play if the refs wanted to, the number of times that a linemen gets busted for it and it hurts you are probably almost equal to the number of times you get away with it and it helps you.  I don't get to mad about holding (or try not to =P).

I've been keeping it together pretty well up until now. But something about Temptation triggered the lizard brain Brian spoke of last week.

Must. Have. Football.

This is insane. I can't take this anymore. I keep torturing myself thinking what if the last two weeks were the most elaborate dream ever. I imagine waking up gameday morning and the thread at the top of the blog reads Countdown to Kickoff Day 22. I would imagine the following moments would probably be the most disturbing mental break down in history.



Yeah. I haven't slept in awhile.

I say this knowing full well that I may wake up tomorrow with Taylor Lewan dangling me out of my apt window...but Darrell Funk kinda looks like actor (?) Gary Busey....but clearly doesn't have a tiny spanish mariachi band and synethized polka music playing in his head like GB does.    

 

Please...please can we kick-off now????

Anyone else think today's the day the Fitz saga comes to an end?  When he's left off the plane we will have our definitive answer as I think Hoke specificied they won't travel if they won't play.

I absolutely love the joy of life in Denard, smiling his million watt smile, enjoying his last year, hearing the band, lifting his legs and having a good time. If you think about it, the players on the team never get to see the band this way, especially at half time. Watch the second clip to see Denard, if nothing else.  The relevant part starts around 2:00, and is about 20 seconds long.

listening to the band gets me jacked up.  My wife wants to kill me when I blast the victors to let everyone knows its game time......its borderline ear popping but I gots to do it.

Is it just me or does Funk look a bit like Mikey Rourke?  Or maybe a mixture of Rourke and Alec Baldwin.  He looks like someone and I can't exactly put my finger on it...
