Post St. Louis Rams Game Chat With Cleft Crusty

[Cleft Crusty]

Hey Cleft,

Nice day for football, great weather means that new hip must be feeling pretty good about now.

Sorry, I had to step out for a minute. I was just getting a dog and having a smoke, and the old ticker stopped ticking. Fortunately, a Packer trainer was still around and got me resuscitated - it took two hits with the paddles. Anyway, I got a bag of chips and I'm back.

Zig: My hip is Okay but I have a little chest pain, and the smell of burnt flesh on my chest is annoying.

Cleft,

Will you be travelling to Miami in two weeks to cover the game? How do you safeguard your pasty complexion?

Sunblock SPF 45. I also have a madras shirt and a nice wide-brimmed floppy hat. I have some nice white sweat socks that I wear up to my knees to keep my vericose veins in check, too.

[Cleft Crusty]

Cleft, what are you going to do tonight to sooth the pain of defeat?

You guys just don't get it. I couldn't care less who wins or loses. I get paid $200 a week and free erasers no matter the outcome.

Cleft,

anyone deserve to be "waived" this week?

Didn't Morency fumble away a drive that cost the Packers 7 points? And he fumbled on a another play, resulting in a long stretch on the pine. Still, he returned in the second half, so I guess they'll keep him another two weeks at least. After all, he wasn't a number one draft pick.

Cleft,

Is it true you're gonna try to give Fruit Of The Loom some competition with a line of clothing called Cleft's Crusty Underwear?

Cleft,

About your "notes" you are always referring to:

I heard that someone got a look at those notes recently, and all they say is "All work and no play makes Cleft a dull boy" over and over again.

What gives?

HERE'S JOHNNNYY! Seriously, I hate it when my editor 'Overlooks' my notes.

If they got those models to wear 'em, I bet they could sell 'em.

[Cleft Crusty]

That's four plays of 20 or more. I think the big play to Fisher for 40 happened just after Collins was hurt. I don't think the defense played all that poorly. Again it came down to big plays and missed opportunities. Three dropped interceptions and some chances to generate TDs over FGs. Who are the playmakers on this team?

But he was a high third that is a good enough back-up.
