Listening to it now...if I could give one advice to Aman and Gifford....have fun. It's football. They are stiff, need to loosen up and just talk. Gifford needs to give deeper insight. He has recent experience. Don't be so vanilla. He has potential but he needs to get comfortable enough to just talk and not be so controlled. I did enjoy his comments about the offense reminding him of the TJ Wiest era.

The middle part about the draft was ok...but it definitely got a bit looser when DO came on. You can tell Dan is a little more mature and comfortable talking on a podcast. DO comments that we don't know all about what happened with RE and why he left the first time. But he is honest that he was upset with RE when he left. I think like all of us, while not happy with how he left, he is very happy he is back. I can see how DO could become part of the team as a coach. He seems like a bright guy and has passion for the school.

The guy they brought on from PFF needs to get his pulse checked, jeez. Sounded like he was falling asleep on air.

It just takes time, there's definitely a comfort level that's needed. I do stand-up comedy on the side and I've been doing it almost three years and I'm just barely comfortable talking on stage. When you start, you're just too anxious to be yourself. That's the whole process -- learning to adapt and become your true self, whether it's on stage or on the mic.

I agree...experience and time will help.

There are a lot of comedians on this board. The problem is they don't know they are being comical. :rolleyes:

Loop and I have butted heads in the past (good natured, at least on my part) on here. I was gonna comment that he's been doing stand up comedy here for much longer than 3 years. Thanks for ruining my joke.

I think it's good natured on my part. Luckily, my parents trained me from a young age to be wrong all the time, which really gave me a head start for arguing with strangers on the internet.

Am I to suppose that Orlovsky means that Edsall left for a reason other than Hathaway?

Or am I suppose that he thinks only a small percentage realize that?

I'd assume the latter. Most people don't know that. No one I have ever talked to in person understood it.

eh Dan was just answering the question. I'm sure he's not well versed as to who the precise audience is.
