Jeff is back from No. Cal. and he has lots to say as the show goes for 2 hours and 34 minutes. The guys talk a little about Thanksgiving turkeys gone bad, football and picks. Jeff shares some stories of he and his son shooting guns while Steven was left to take care of Jeff’s mom for Thanksgiving. The guys then focus on the NFL News with Andre Johnson and Cortland Finnegan getting fined $25,000 each but neither got a suspension, which leads Steven to ask, “What do you have to do to get suspended in the NFL?”
The guys talk about Spygate II and Josh McDaniels getting fined $50,000 for video taping that happened in London. Rex Ryan talks about HIS supermodel wife, take that Tom Brady! DeSean Jackson getting his “wittle feelers” hurt, and the up to the minute news as the guys learn that Frank Gore broke his hip and will be out for the rest of the year.
The guys finish up by talking about all 16 games. Steven and Jeff differed on 10 games, with Steven getting six correct and Jeff getting four. Not a failed attempt but not that successful either. Nipper did lose to Steven, but his fashion picks wound up beating Jeff so the next time Nipper comes on the show, he gets to use his fashion sense again. With the Packers losing to the Falcons, Jeff tied the Challenge Game picks at 6 each.
Fried soda does exist. At the Utah state fair they had fried coke and pepsi. Basically it is small pieces of dough like you would use to make scones and fry those in soda. It is not any good.
Enjoyed the show, thanks guys! Jeff clearly raising his game to avoid being benched again :-)
A quick @theashes update (her name is Ashley, that’s where the nickname started, not whatever thought Jeff had in his head!!) – she now has over 9,000 followers, Vodafone (who sponsor the series) have offered her tickets to the games and a phone to tweet from in Australia, she has been on the radio in the UK and she will be joining the BBC commentary team by phone during the coverage of the second match starting tomorrow. She is selling T-shirts with her classic catchphrase, “I am NOT a freaking cricket match”, so hopefully she’s earning a few bob out of it all. And I’m sure she speaks for much of America when she tweets, “Bed soon, but I was just sent the 1st test result… how is it a draw if Australia gets 588 & England gets 777?? ” Brilliant stuff!
Loved having Nippers on the week 12 preview show, you got to bring him back when Steven disappears. Alternativly Jeff could bring the boy into the stoplight.
