Quick Revisiting of " I Guess I'm Hoping He Was Just Drunk?"

Also enjoyable: how serious Patrick gets when he has to interrupt his Britney talk with actual game-calling. "Georgia from the 25 ... " (Holy shit, holy shit, did anyone hear what I just said? Better make my voice extra-serious now. I hope no one heard. I'm going to get fired, aren't I? Serious voice, serious voice!)
Crowded FJM house chez Anthony Baseball. We got Junior, Coach, Jimmy Ballgame, Anthony Baseball, Anthony Baseball Sr., Murbles and dak all watching Alabama - Georgia on ESPN. Just waiting for the grill to get warm.

MP: "I have an important question. What is Britney doing with her life?" TB: "Who?" MP: "Britney!" TB: "...Britney who?" MP: "Spears! What is she doing with her career?" TB: "Why do we care at this point?...Is she here?" MP: "I don't think so." TB: "Is she a football fan?" MP: "Oh I'm sure she is." [two seconds pass] "Georgia from the 25."
