Telling your quarterback to quit scoring touchdowns is next level coaching.

You mean the Milford / VT game hasn’t been played yet? Who is Milford playing this week, that they needed T-Swift to come give the a pep talk? This schedule is so confusing.

Valley Tech is playing the 1960 Steelers? And Coach said he didn’t want celebrities.

P2: Amateur announcer. A pro would have named “the defender”. And “Pedro’s second touchdown” is more succinct. Leaves room to relay yardage, why play worked, updated score, and/or key block(s).

Save that magic for next week? You mean like replacing the fans in the stands with a special effects green screen? Making it look like the non-Marty Moon announcer is piloting a submarine? How about making your father disappear?

All Valley, All State QB Pedro wears #45. I know we have snarked this topic before. If he was an emergency QB I’d get it. Many of us are wired in our stereotypical experiences and I for one try to remind myself it’s just a comic.

So, Pedro, how’s your dad doing?

P1 no 52 is playing in his jeans. Must be playing at levy’s stadium.

Ah…… the Arc du Jour wheel spins once again. HB must have ADD. He can’t keep a single story arc going for more than 2 hours.

He’s got a buildup of testosterone since his girlfriend got knocked up and had an abortion.

How can he save the magic if he’s already used it in the game?

Got to love the way yesterday’s strip transitions to today’s. Wait, what? Oh, yeah. There was no transition. Who are these people? Did one of them kill Marty Moon and take over his job?

“Pedro is dancing away from the defender…yes, he’s Dancing with Mr D. Sorry guy, You Cant Always Get What You Want. Let’s go to Angie on the sidelines. Start it Up Angie!”

“… I plan to be doin a lot of makin out with Keri during the game…”

We haven’t seen Keri in a while. Maybe Mimi sent her to a convent.

good game pedro says coach kim dont forget your free pedicure from kwan

marty moon sits in his room drinking root beer wishing a old lady would make him tuna casserole and muffins and listen to his problems

Clearly this is a non- conference opponent since VT’s opposition is not wearing (entirely) blue.

saturdays strip will feature nora and jami just to put everyone in a bad mood

P2- Cameo today by Andre the Giant.

Never knew a Head Coach to leave the sidelines during a game, to sit and talk to a player while the game is being played. Most often they are watching the game and giving directions on the field. Usually they wait till the game is over to talk to the players.

If he is concerned about the amount of risk Pedro is taking, he would take him out of the game and save him for Milford instead of telling Pedro to play conservative. When a player stops playing all out and holds up he is likely to get hurt.

52 is wearing his best jeans. Like Peter Brady and his teammates when they met Deacon Jones.

I guess Marty gave up broadcasting VT’s games. Looks like they hired a pilot to cover the games while doing flybys. And speaking of flyby, don’t just fly by today’s Mopped Up Thorp, take some time to examine all its nuances.
