Yes, we admit it. We’re lazy and evil. Also, we got a little behind with the holidays. This is the first chance we’ve had to post this week’s mini-TMQ watch for this week’s mini-TMQ.
Before we start, though, we do want to note that NFL.com is currently reporting the firing of Andy Reid as head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles, but it does not sound like the team has made an official announcement. Yet. Monday is the usual “blood in the streets” day for NFL firings.
After the jump…
The major item this week is TMQ’s “Christmas Wish List” for every NFL team, which we won’t bother to recap. You can read it yourself if you’d like, but (with one or two exceptions) we see it as yet another example of TMQ thinking he’s more amusing than he really is, and find this entire item eminently skippable.
Sweet: New Orleans – Dallas, Green Bay – Tennessee. Sour: St. Louis – Tampa Bay. Mixed: Atlanta – Detroit.
Creep. “Who can say what the cosmic enterprise may call for?” We can; the cosmic enterprise calls for faster horses, younger women, older whisky, and more money.
And lo, the “football gods” waxed wrothful at the 49ers for trying to kick a field goal. We swear that TMQ is trying to create football agnostics, if not outright football atheists.
We’ll see how that strategy plays out tomorrow, won’t we?
TMQ seems to be in favor of manufacturing moving back to the United States from the Asian countries, but thinks there is still a place for globalized production. We’re not sure how we feel about that, to be honest. It is sort of a plus for David Simon’s “we used to make s–t in this country”, but on the other hand, there are reasons we stopped making s–t in this country, too; what’s changed that makes this a better idea now?
Jerry Rice still holds a bunch of records by large margins. “Most of the stellar Christmas pop tunes are prewar.” Pre what war, Gregg? If you take the position that the “stellar” ones are also the most played (which we will admit is a position that is open to debate), that assertion is also arguable. What defines a “stellar” Christmas song anyway?
“Kiss her once for TMQ!” Ewwww. You’ve got your own woman, Gregg. Find some mistletoe and kiss her yourself.
That’s all for mini-TMQ watch. Tune in next week, when, if we’re lucky, we’ll hear Easterbrook warble that stellar Christmas tune, “Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer”.
