Hey I want to do more crowd-sourced posts for FART. I was thinking it would be fun to do some Gruden-isms. You know the ones where he says stuff like, "I call this guy the ________ because ________!"

Maybe we could leave the medium very open on this so people can write stuff, make images, MS-Paint, photoshop, whatever.

Here are some actual Gruden-isms:

“Mike, did you ever see the movie ‘Cast Away?’ In that movie, Tom Hanks’ only friend was a ball named Wilson. In this game, Russell Wilson’s only friend is a football.”

“Mike, the best band to ever come out of Seattle was, of course, Pearl Jam. And that’s what I expect the Seahawks to do – just jam it up the middle.”

“I call this guy ‘Road Rage’ because he makes some of the most violent runs in football.”

Gruden loving rules and is 90% of the reason why MNF is awesome

You know who Blake Bortles reminds me of? Apollo 13. He'll never get the touch down, but you really have to admire his tenacity in sticking around in there the whole play. Just one hell of a tough kid, that Blake.

Also, points for not saying Nirvana, Jon, but everyone knows Soundgarden is better than Pearl Jam.

Mike, let me tell you two things I learned from coaching. The first, if you can run spider 2 wide banana you can get some yards. These guys are PLAYMAKERS out there in the National Football League. That's the only way they know how to play football. The second thing? Well I'll tell you, if I knew what the second thing was I would still be down there instead of up here with you and apart of FCAA, The Fired Football Coaches Association.

Also, I'm poor, and the site still doesn't get enough traffic on a regular basis to warrant upgrades to my hosting beyond the basics, so if a comic gets hotlinked to a popular forum somewhere, my site takes the slow down and suffers the consequences even though no one is actually visiting. Maybe one day I'll be popular enough to warrant better hosting that can handle it and I'll care about all this less, but as of right now I'm still mostly a nobody.

Mike, that play just took too long to develop. That's why I like to call reverses, offenses run reverses I like to call them my cousin Chris. You know that kid who faked a deep voice in junior high because puberty was evading him like Mike Vick in his prime? Well that was my cousin Chris

Mike, I look at that Houston defensive line, and you know what I see? The planet Venus. It's supposed to be the goddess of beauty, and yet it's dangerous with volcanoes and noxious gasses, just ready to kill someone. And speaking of volcanoes, look at JJ all fired up down there. I love that kid. Let me tell you, if I was still coaching, I'd do anything to have him on my squad.

That's a paddlin'

Mike, this Bears defense really reminds me of "Self-portrait of a young man"(1634) by the great painter Rembrandt. The titular figure appears to be overshadowed by something just out of frame, and yet the sharp, bright center draws the eye right to the middle of the piece, as the artist himself chooses to focus inward. The artist has chosen to paint himself in modest garb, which contributes to the very plain yet sensible aesthetic and muted color palate. Though the subject appears to carry an aloof demeanor, one can still feel the sadness he must carry within himself, to be in the prime of his life yet to feel so hopeless.

Mike, the Brian Schottenheimer playsheet reminds me of Debate and Discussion. Yeah, on paper a lot is happening, but they never seem to convert that into any real success. Mainly I'm just confused and bored. Speaking of confused and bored, Richard Sherman just got caught napping on that play!

Hey, Mike - you remember that story your Dad read you when you were a kid? "The Little Engine That Could." Brian Hoyer makes me think of that story. He's so full of optimism and hope and he's out there telling himself, "I think I can, I think I can" over and over just like that little engine. So much grit and toughness in the guy.

And you know how in the story just as the little engine feels like he's about to give out, he reaches the top of the hill and beams with pride at his accomplishments all the way down. Except this isn't a children's story. He's still Brian Hoyer and he plays for the Cleveland Browns. He doesn't realize this hill goes on forever and no matter how hard he hopes and sweats and tries he's never going to make it to the top of that hill. That's why I call him "Sisyphus."

You know Mike, we're here in Minnesota, which is where General Mills headquarters is. And man, I love me some of their Cinnamon Toast Crunch. You know, Christian Ponder reminds me of Cinnamon Toast Crunch, because nobody can see why the Vikings like him.

Alternate: General Mills, the company that makes Chex. And it's fitting that they're here because watching Matt Kalil pass protect is like pouring milk into your Chex.

This Jon Gruden cat. He's like Ron Paul, I just agree with everything I hear him say. I watch Monday Night Football and it's like he's in my head. It's uncanny. Sometimes watching the game Tuesday morning I can even finish his sentences. I really, really love that guy.
