Lyrics

yeah, I recycled the Gruden Effect joke from my Nirvana jingle.


Waiting for an invitation to arrive
to Scott McCloughan’s office, or a tweet from his wife
Waiting for an invitation to arrive
To Thanksgiving dinner with the Griffins and Snyders
How exactly did Jay get this job?
Did he win a contest or is he using blackmail?
One thing for certain The Gruden Effect
Doesn’t appear to be genetic

I was struck by something watching Thursday’s game
Trying to keep Phil Simms from driving me insane
Jay’s a dead man coaching, he’s only got 5 wins
But what do you expect when you claim your best QB is Kirk Cousins?
He’s throws picks like Trump chucks hats to half-wits
You can’t run the ball down 23

    Vitamin String Quartet did an album of 80s/90s covers. i mostly used this version because i couldn't find any karaoke track without BGVs, but i do really like the effect of it.

    Here I was expecting to hear it was the Turtle Island Quartet only to find it's a 30 year old new wave/punk song arranged for string quartet. Brilliant!

    I watched the first quarter and then gave up. I do sometimes watch games on mute if there is good reason.

    I watched it because of fantasy implications... and it was awful. Had Matt Jones in and was going against Eli this week.

    i loathe the sound of Phil Simms's voice. i don't watch thursday games unless the taters are playing, and then only for research, obviously.

    This is nicely done. Phil Simms being the #1 option for CBS must make Collinsworth laugh himself to sleep on a pile of money every night.
