OT: SNF MIA vs NYJ - Open Thread

Submitted by mgokev on

Open thread for tonight's game.  There are a lot of Wolverines playing tonight and I wish Edwards, Harris, Henne, and Long a great game.

I'm supposed to be a Jets fan, but since Harris and Edwards are already recognized, I'm pulling for Henne.  Yeah, I guess Long is already recognized, but he'll help Henne out.  And you beat me (below) to the description of the stylishly trimmed beard.  Maybe that's part of Braylon's penitence.

As I  look up the rosters for both teams, something jumped off the page for me:

Chad Henne will earn $950,340 this year while Chad Pennington will abscond with $5,750,000

Anyway, others to keep your eye on for the Dolphins:

Of course, Jake "the Pre-Lewan" Long

Joe Berger, the Miami center, played ball at Michigan Tech of all places.

and playing for the Jets:

Braylon "the beardless" and David Harris

of GR public schools.  Ottawa Hills is terrible in football(or in sports in general).  Seen Harris played in HS and came away unimpressed with him.  Kevin Grady as a freshman ran Harris over a couple of times.  Funny how it turned out.  Harris was a non-hyped recruit and became a NFL starting LB while Kevin was a highly anticipated, hyped 5* recruit and was a huge bust.

I thank you for the additional info, but I'm still at a loss. 

However, IF Mr. Ebert overcomes the tremendous odds and makes it on an NFL roster

and IF he somehow manages to start on an NFL team

and IF he is fortunate enough to play on an NFL team that plays in the game of the week on Sunday Night Football so that he gets to announce where he has previously received some level of education...

and he says "Jeremy Ebert, Hillard Darby High School"...

well then Mister, you are going to look silly, now aren't you?

OK, I'm pretty sure that is the second time that Chris has called him Dan Henning.  Is it too much to ask to know the starting QB on one of the teams that is playing?

No, I wasn't being sarcastic.  I'm pretty sure he was mixing up Chad Henne and Dan Henning. I could have misheard him if he was saying something like kudos to Dan Henning for that pass to Marshall and referencing the play call and not the actual pass itself.

 

Then again, I'm on a roll here with some Bell's Two Hearted, so who really knows anymore...

EDIT: At least I'm not pulling out power tools.  I still laugh whenever I drink thinking about drunk Brian and his power tools.
