Nonsensical gibberish or, alternately, blindingly obvious observations spouted by one of the most inept football commentators in the history of the medium. Fox thought Pat was the senile one when it was John all along.
"To win the game, you have to score more points than the other team."
"It doinked the post, and whenever the ball doinks the post, you want it to bounce back between the posts."
"Donovan McNabb is doing the things
Donovan McNabb does."
"First down is a good down."
"The quarterback's job is to throw the ball to his receivers."
"That was a dumb play. Dumb play. You know, that was a dumb play. I mean, that was a dumb play. I've seen some dumb plays, but that was a dumb play! (lampooned by the Simpsons. Sez Homer, "that team sure did suck last night. They just plain sucked! I've seen teams suck before, but they were the suckiest bunch of sucks that ever sucked.")."

Get the maddenism mug.if you search every inch of the world you will never come across a person as perfect as maddyson, she is everything a boy could ever want

Get the maddyson mug.maddie is a wonderful girl, perfect inside and out. She has a beautiful smile on her face and normally have gorgeous eyes!! She is a crazy, funny and ‘has to be right’ but you will love her and will probably brighten up your day with one clumsy and stupid word however when you first meet her and she might come off as shy or quiet but really she’s quite the cracker! They don’t think that they’re that great but they really are! Boys secretly admire them but most maddie’s don’t recognise this and doesn’t like a lot of attention (e.g compliments). However, because she ‘has to be right’ she has a fiery but playful spirit and if you mess with her she will mess with you back! But she is such a lovely friend and is most of the time happy and makes sure everyone else around her is to! They are heard not to love as a friend!
Hey maddie !
