And of course, their uniform numbers have nothing to do with their inmate numbers. Doing a play-by-play like that will get Marty drinking again really fast.
Huh? Based on yesterday’s strip, I thought that this silly game was over, since that goofball warden was talking about how much money was raised to help spring these punks.
I’m looking all over Hulu to see if I can find a broadcast of a Juvie Detention Center Football Game and I’m coming up empty. I must be looking in the wrong place.
Just when I thought the script couldn’t get any worse. Aside from ridiculous play-by-play using 5-digit inmate #‘s instead of jersey #’s, HD apparently doesn’t know a “deflection” is when something(usually a hand) affects the trajectory of the football. P2 looks more like a sack throwing a dying quail .
How about using the numbers on their jerseys? Isn’t that what they’re for? Or maybe put their inmate numbers on there instead, because this way I’m just confused.
Looks like the Orange Juliuses are now taking it to the Purple People Eaters. Think this is due to Gil changing up the game plan? Bah ha ha, Gil having a game plan, let alone changing it, what was I thinking? And speaking of thinking, you should be thinking of reading today’s Mopped Up Thorp.

Inmate numbers, detention centre football league, spectators and broadcasts – my suspension of disbelief has suffered a debilitating strain.

P2: TB12 attempts a skyhook pass while escaping a flying hug/tackle.

Just how many inmates are there in juvie? Tens of thousands? In Milford? Do you really need to call the “00” on the front end of each number, Marty?

This strip is now like watching the proverbial train wreck.

How the mighty have fallen—once-vaunted Marty Moon is now doing play by play in a juvey foobaw game.

P2- Gil’s Junior goons are closing the gap, 8/2. I predict they score again tomorrow.
Waiting for former Heisman Trophy winner Nate Scarborough to insert himself in the game.

Everyone’s snarking and I’m just sitting here waiting for Inmate #006798 to shank ToBe.

…Meanwhile back at the Thorp residence, E(mimi)ly and Ericka are locked in on a torrid #00069 which is quickly transforming into a scorching #00077…
I hope somebody remembered to give Meemaw her sleeping pills.

P2: Andrew Ridgeley and George Michael form a fearsome pass rush indeed.

Yes, fans, 00526 Intercepts the pass, but gets an additional 5 years for stealing the football.

The game was over. Gil was mad they were being taken advantage of. But business as usual?

Wouldn’t it be easier (and less confusing) to call them by the number on their jersey?

P 4: “… and inmate # 001234 sure is taking a long time to retrieve that loose ball that rolled into the tunnel…”

I think prison yard nicknames would be better: “… ball deflected by booty bandit and intercepted by pockets…”
