Huzzah, the NFL returns this weekend!

The entire flubby clan is looking forward to football season.
I find myself more patient with idiot coworkers this week. I let people cut in traffic much more than I normally do. I’ve been doling out high-fives to strangers. The soundtrack to my life is awash with angelic choruses. I feel that we are all on the cusp of something magical and wondrous. After months staring at the television in utter disappointment, the wait is over. Real live football returns Sunday night on NBC when the Redskins and Colts meet in the less than meaningless, utterly pointless but oh-so-wonderful Hall of Fame Game. THANK YOU JEBUS AND ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD FOR THE PRIVILEGE OF WATCHING JIM SORGI PLAY FOR TWO SERIES!!!
For me, more than most, the preseason arrives not a moment too soon. I had become so starved for football entertainment that I had begun working out a buddy-cop sitcom pilot based solely on this picture of Kellen Winslow:

One’s a slick-talking tight end who knows his way around a battlefield.
The other rocks the white man’s fro and has an invisible friend named Leon—together they solve crimes!!!

where the fuck do I get one of those crochet sarapes?
August 1st, 2008 at 1:22 pm
Seeing this picture makes me want to get into a motorcycle accident.
August 1st, 2008 at 1:25 pm
I’d watch that show
August 1st, 2008 at 1:29 pm
I’m not sure which is stupider, the Rorschach tattoo or the U one.
August 1st, 2008 at 1:30 pm
Leon has the entire Communist Manifesto tattooed on his back. Hijinks!
August 1st, 2008 at 1:34 pm
Apparently the show is sponsored by Nike.
August 1st, 2008 at 1:45 pm
That first photo with the gay crocheted dashiki looks oh so cheerful. Those colors just scream 1970s malaise.
August 1st, 2008 at 1:46 pm
I disagree, not nearly enough Winslows died for this piece (Not you Lt.)
August 1st, 2008 at 1:46 pm
that guy just asked winslow if he wanted a mustache ride
August 1st, 2008 at 2:04 pm
Winslow definitely rides a motorcycle in every episode (badly).
And its nice to see Jimmy Fallon getting TV work again.
August 1st, 2008 at 2:04 pm
YAY! I get to watch an almost unrecognizable squad wearing my team’s uniforms! Wheee!
But it is real, live football, and not a moment too soon.
August 1st, 2008 at 2:09 pm
There’s got to be room for a gay next door neighbor in there somewhere. Always bustin’ in at inopportune times and showing off his new tights. If only there was someone to play that role… hmm…. I wonder what Leslie Nielsen’s up to these days.
August 1st, 2008 at 2:11 pm
Could we include Jeremy Shockey as the streetwise pimp that helps our detectives when their investigations hit a wall?
August 1st, 2008 at 2:11 pm
Please DON’T tell me what those stains are on winslow’s man-purse.
August 1st, 2008 at 2:13 pm
@ Last Unitard — gay next door neighbor? What about a Brady Quinn and Jeff Garcia as a wacky gay next door couple?
August 1st, 2008 at 2:15 pm
Terrell Owens could be cast as the informant who owns the Kornz-a-Poppin’ kiosk in the local mall.
August 1st, 2008 at 2:17 pm
‘rides a motorcycle in every episode(badly)’+ ‘hits a wall’.
Yes, please.
August 1st, 2008 at 2:20 pm
The alleged Ms. Flubby is a babe.
That’s all for now.
August 1st, 2008 at 2:25 pm
flubby, I honestly could hug you.
August 1st, 2008 at 2:31 pm
First episode and Kellen already gave him a dirty sanchez?
And let’s not gloss over this “Jim Sorgi for two series” business. I’ve been waiting a year to see if he’s improved.
August 1st, 2008 at 2:44 pm
@The Last Unitard: Jim J. Bullock might be available for that character
August 1st, 2008 at 2:45 pm
I knitted my oriental girlfriend when I was at State. Ah, the memories!
August 1st, 2008 at 2:48 pm
582…
You knitted a girlfriend? An actual human female? Can you teach me how to do that from the comfort of my mom’s basement?
August 1st, 2008 at 2:52 pm
As a person who makes stupid faces in photos, my opinion of Kellen Winslow just went up
August 1st, 2008 at 3:28 pm
For the irritable lieutenant who can’t stand their rule-breaking ways? Bill Cowher.
August 1st, 2008 at 3:41 pm
that family portrait SCREAMS sexy friday
August 1st, 2008 at 3:41 pm
I think I know the flubby clan from that picture up there. They were the hippy weirdos who taught music and art at my elementary school. They were concerned about the kids’ self-esteem and wanted to make a difference. I can smell their coffee breath right now.
August 1st, 2008 at 3:52 pm
This week has definitely been a very good week. Not only do I get football this weekend, but next week rescue me kinda starts back and then the shield is like three weeks away. I don’t think I have ever looked forward to anything as much as I have the final season of the shield. Ok anyways back to the dick jokes and shenanigans.
August 1st, 2008 at 3:54 pm
Is the Shield that close to coming back? Oh, sweet Jesus, fall can’t get here fast enough.

That pic is from flubby clans trip to Norway. The pennent is from Storjkaten U’s ice futbol game. (storjkaten is norwegian for pussy basket.)

August 1st, 2008 at 4:04 pm
While we’re at it, how about we combine “The Shield” and “Rescue Me” for our new show? Kellen W. can play the Vic Mackey character and that other guy can be like Richard, the retarded brother of that chick Franco was dating. Kellen Sr. will play the Chief who reconciles with his gay son and then kills himself.

August 1st, 2008 at 4:08 pm
Here’s what gets me about the pic…..they hired some third grade class to cut out some leaves from construction paper to ’set the mood’. Malaise indeed.
August 1st, 2008 at 4:38 pm
that’s a rare picture of the short-lived line of pinata-themed baby clothing.

August 1st, 2008 at 4:42 pm
Man, I think the 70’s are calling and they want their version of sexy back……
August 1st, 2008 at 5:03 pm
While we’re at it, how about we combine “The Shield” and “Rescue Me” for our new show?
I think “Shield Me” would have to be about the relationship between a QB and his left tackle. Somebody get me Orlando Pace.
August 1st, 2008 at 5:20 pm
I still need my sexiness on friday
August 1st, 2008 at 5:23 pm
When was Geraldo Rivera a model for the Sears catalog?
Rowr… what a treat for Sexy Friday. The only thing hotter than a man in uniform is a man in a poncho.
August 1st, 2008 at 5:32 pm
“Shield Me”- that’s a brilliant idea for a new show. It’ll have plenty of violence, sexy chicks, explosions, retards, fucked-up families, fires, motorcyclical irresponsibility and product placement. Must See TV.
August 1st, 2008 at 5:39 pm
It’s Sexy Friday and I’m getting my sex on ……
Wait, I’m supposed to get it on with this picture in my mind????
In that case, from right to left: guy, baby, yes.
August 1st, 2008 at 6:34 pm
The guy on the right looks like the guy from Bachelor Party w/ Tom Hanks.
Here, let me reference the movie AND caption the picture:
“She was a DUDE ! I’m such a SCHMUCK !”

@Tyler Durden
I wasn’t expecting to think about “Bachelor Party” today. Well played, sir. Throw in Adrian Zmed and the bad guy who played the bad guy in “Real Genius” and you’ve got a delicious comedy stew.
August 1st, 2008 at 6:52 pm
Oh yeah, don’t forget the hookers who do the girl-on-girl act at the bachelorette party. Comedic gold.
August 1st, 2008 at 11:51 pm
Rescue me is for the homos. It was good for about the first half season until Lenny Clarke started getting betting tips from the midget and had the monkey. Gay! Always liked the Shield though. Except for that way too long shitty storyline with Forrest Whitaker. Glad for football finally. Second the idea for worst major city in the US. I nominate Houston.
August 2nd, 2008 at 12:12 am
Is Kellen Clemens one of the many newly-deceased Kellens?
August 2nd, 2008 at 11:51 am
@ mini dagger: Baby Pinata?

@IZZY
Every time I look at the KSK comments I find an hilarious and obscure reference to something that only smart, like-minded idiots with substance abuse problems would catch. Score on the Mark Lynn Baker allusion. Though you’re a Perfect Stranger, the people of Mepos love you.

Fixed that picture for you:

Whoa. Does my TV need adjusting, or is Jim Zorn sporting the ShanaTan?
August 4th, 2008 at 10:11 am
J.A. Adande has been working out.
