I believe that was abolished.

A mentally ill person...err transgender would NEVER make it in the Corps let alone the Military!

Oh if one or both of your lads was tran, I think you would know.

But if one or both liked a little bit o dat on the DL, well that is not something one shares with a 'conservative' papa.....

Though it could possibly lead to future fame on Dancing With the Stars, doncha know

My boys think they are freaks.
The wife I tell them that "Trans" (Mentally Ill) need help.
With their high suicide rate the sooner the help the better.
By not getting help might as well tell an alcoholic that they don't have a problem either.

Tirico is fantastic, probably the 2nd best in the world behind al but you don't want to breakup Chris and Al. They special.

I always felt like Tirico don't care too much for Gruden . I wonder if this has something to do with that

I think Gruden was making way more $$$ than Tirico.... that may be the rub.

He was quite the ladies man, er I mean sexual harasser, back in the day:


In another story, one female producer — who had been to dinner with Tirico and his fiancee — was startled to receive an email from him saying that he wanted to sleep with her. Later, when the staff went to a bar after a late night covering the NCAA tournament, Tirico approached her and said, "I wish I was single. If I were, I'd throw you on the table right here and fuck your brains out." After she tried to excuse him as drunk, he persisted: "I know you want to screw me. So let's leave." Later, he followed her on the highway and tried to get her to pull over, unsuccessfully.

Tirico was ultimately suspended for three months and is interviewed in the book, where he, like Reynolds, calls the incidents "misunderstandings."

Cosby's defense is misunderstandings with his incidents

Tirico's appearance is as bland & boring as his delivery. Ax both him & Gruden. Al & Chris are the best IMO>

When I discovered Tirico in the Chair at MNF my immediate shocked thought: WTF just happened here??!!? as I expected Al Michaels would do MNF forever. I still don't understand what happened. I guess Al Michaels was offered more money....? To leave MNF. Al Michaels is a God of Broadcasting. Tirico ain't even in the Temple.

maybe Al could go back to MNF.....we have an opening

I'd certainly Welcome this....just his funny little quips from the gambler's perspective alone should get him back....IMO:

"It ain't quite OVer YET!!....for some out there anyways!!"

Al Michaels' success in large part due to having a great Spotter, for 32 years now.....Malibu Kelly Hayes. Grew up in SoCal, a surfer and football player then onto Boston College where he came to work with Al Michaels, when they both were very very young....been with him ever since.

Great Article filling in the details of this working relationship, after Malibu Kelly's most immediate Off-Season concern which is to enrich you guyz's CULTURE, make you more SUAVE and culturally astute so that you can impress women at restaurants (and elsewhere that involves making a Wine selection.....knowing you WINES)

Aspen Times Weekly: Burgundy vs. Bordeaux 101


The most important thing about a wine is that you enjoy it.

But, if you have any interest in navigating the world’s best wines, the one thing you should know is the differences between the two most iconic wine regions in the world, Burgundy and Bordeaux. A little information can go a long way in helping you decide which region, and which region’s wines, best suit you.

So let’s take a quick look:

A couple of things. From all articles I have read Gruden and Tirico are good friends, hang out and socialize before and after the games. Al is 71 and apparently NBC want Al and Chris to do the five Thursday night games in addition to the Sunday Night game. His contract is for two more years. The rumor is that Al will give the Sunday night seat to Mike in two years and do the Thursday night games. Mike will not just do SNF, he will also eventually take over Bob Costas position as Olympic host. Tirico is only 49 and Al and Bob are not getting any younger. Being the Olympics hosts takes long hours and months of preparation. Would love to see Al and Chris work forever but 21 games a season is demanding and in an article I read Al's wife travels with him to each game. Tirico eventually be the lead dog at NBC and probably at a substantial increase in salary over what he makes at ESPN. He will also get to call a Super Bowl on NBC and he will never do that ESPN.
