1. That guy is

LOCO. I would never want to be on his team. I'd be fearful for my life.

2. Here you go...

"Late in a New England Patriots practice in 1980, Rick Sanford and a few other players were trying to weasel their way out of the workout. The linebackers coach was having none of it.

''What do I look like, Charlie the Tuna?'' the assistant coach said.

That's how Bill Parcells got nicknamed the Tuna."

Hard to believe he's playing for first place in week 14 with a team that's basically the same as last year's...

5. misplaced metaphor?

Charlie was the one who was "let go", not the one who DID the letting go.
And I'm too polite to make any sort of comment like jocks IQs being displayed on their jerseys.
Yes I am.
