PrintI'm a lightweight. I used to be able to put back beer after beer after beer with no problem. Unfortunately, I'm now 33 years old, and my alcohol consumption is now 1-2 times per month instead of 4-5 times per week. Last night I drank like I was 22. I told Wade Phillips I thought he'd do a good job in Houston. I woke up about an hour ago and I'm pretty sure I'm still a bit inebriated I feel like I got hit by a bus. My eyes are neon red. The stink of Jager and Sam Adams is oozing out of my pores. I'm wearing the same clothes I wore yesterday, and to top it off, I'm actually currently sitting next to John Clayton from ESPN. It's a bad scene in JimmyK world (sorry for the Cam Newton-esque use of third person). Anyway, for your viewing pleasure, I thought I'd pass along a transcript of the conversation I had at 1am with the Redskins brass (Mike Shanahan, Dan Snyder, Jim Haslett), who were all sitting at a table in the corner of an Indianapolis bar:
JimmyK: Hey Mike, I'm Jimmy. I cover the Eagles... (Incoherent rambling).... Donovan McNabb... (incoherent rambling)... 2 and a 4... (Incoherent rambling about McNabb's contract)... Hey, where's Dan Snyder anyway? I though he was sitting here.
Mike Shanahan: He's sitting right next to you.
JimmyK: Oh. (turns to Dan Snyder)... (incoherent rambling). Do you know Jeffrey Lurie?
Dan Snyder: Yes.
Mike Shanahan: Hey Jimmy, why don't you just leave?
JimmyK: Good idea. Sorry.

Jimmy, first you hold a door open for Jerry Jones, then you tell Wade Phillips he will be good in Houston, then you ask to see Dan Snyder and then you get dissed by Mike Shannahan?

I’m thinking we’re going to have to pull you out of there pretty soon. The only way you can redeem yourself is if you walk up to Tom Coughlin and ask if he is scouting punters this week.

You forgot to add...
I was with JimmyK in the 5 minute leadup to this. He was saying he had to go up to the table but didn’t know what to say. I told Jimmy, “Eagles arguably have the most stable front office in all of the NFL, ask Snyder if he talks to Jeff Lurie and if there’s anything he’s learned from that.”
When JimmyK came back to us with this story, laughter was at a very high level.

A few questions
1) Does Clayton have a ponytail?
2) Could you warm your hands with the radiant heat coming off Shanahan’s skin?
3) Did you set your drink on Danny Boy’s head?
4) If given the chance, would you rather ask for Shanahan’s opinions on nepotism or oral hygiene?
5) How could you have talked to Wade without telling him he was second only to Dave Campo in the Cowboys’ coaching pantheon?
1. No
2. He was much less red in person.
3. I was sitting right next to Danny Boy, and didn’t even know it was him.
4. I think I’d settle for just being able to get out a coherent sentence or two.
5. Wade was actually really nice. Kevin said something to the effect of “It must be nice to get away from the headset in the sky,” and he laughed.

Blast
I really wanted Clayton to have a ponytail. Ah, well. Don’t beat yourself up about it, old boy. I’ve blown plenty of interviews in my day and I didn’t have the advantage of drunkenness. Besides, in 20 years, the story will be that you grilled Snyder about Dave McKenna for 15 minutes before calling Shanahan a “lobster-colored, big-toothed asshole” and slapped a drink out of his hand.

That smell is 3rd behind turkey roasting on Thanksgiving and well cared for,aroused, pussy.
"What a gorgeous dog. What do you feed him?"

You’re having the time of your life.

Damn
You should have taped that shit.
AR should have to wear a Flava Flav necklace until he learns how to manage a fucking clock.
If you have a drink, will you please put in the air.
That party last night was awfully crazy, I wish we taped it…

I wonder
what the conversation would have been like if you didn’t have liquid confidence in you…

Nice job doing it at the bar
and not putting your credential at risk.
He didn’t really just say “why don’t you just leave?” did he?

I don’t remember his exact words (or even how I got back to my hotel for that matter), but it was something to that effect.

you had them all in the same room and didn't
thank them for being so fucking stupid?
Defensive player of the year for 2011 is...
Wild_Eagle!
Yes, Wild_Eagle's infamous reputation did help him get this award. But he shows that he walks the talk that he serves...with his keyboard. Wild_Eagle protects the motherland (BGN) from the evils of noobs, douche-bags, and other assholes. Although he may be crude and unnecessary, all great defenders draws the yellow flag from time to time.
