Mike Reiss

Also floating around on Twitter, John, is this from Doug Kyde.

"PFWA pool reporter Mike Reese interview with referee Bill Vinovich, uh, uh, from today.

Question: What led to Mike Vrabel being assessed, uh, an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty? Uh, Vinovich replies, 'He was out of the box, came up to the official and said, "That was an effing terrible call." Question: In a situation like that, is there any warning given? Vinovich: "Uh, I don't know how you're going to give a warning.

It's not something that is going to happen twice.

I mean, he leads the league in turnovers, and obviously the pick to Travis Hunter in the back of the end zone, that looks like something a practice squad player.

I mean, at one point in time, I saw Mike Reese, like his first turnover.

Well, that ties Cooper Rush on the season for turnovers.

And then he just kept having them as the game went on.

And that went on at the Super Bowl and for literally the next seven months up until last week, where once again, Drake May sucked eggs.

And Mike Reese, who started the whole thing, decides to ask him about his shoulder.

And once again, Drake May breathes life into the fact that there's something wrong with his shoulder.

And so it continued to this week and then even the next day, Monday, three days ago, Mike Vrabel is asked about it, his shoulder.

during training camp.

But again, I didn't think of it until Mike Reese and Doug Codd followed up yesterday.

And Drake didn't necessarily shoot it down.

He sort of danced around it.

... that, that looks like something a practice squad player.

I mean, at one point in time I saw Mike Reese, like his first turnover.

Well, that ties Cooper Rush on the season for turnovers, and then he just kept having them as the game went on.

I'm like, that's not good company to be in.

If we're talking February 2013, which would be eight years after the February 2005 episode aired, they were recording it, like, within a couple months of that date when they did their commentary.

The commentary is pretty fun, too, because there must have been, like, a Harvard reunion or something going on because Jon Vitti, Mike Reiss, and Laura McMullen are all on the commentary, who are all Harvard Lampoon grads.

I mean, it's not so crazy to hear Mike Reiss on a commentary in this season, but it's not usual.

Mm-hmm.

And Vitti and McMullen are especially...

And I knew some people who could get it to The Simpsons guys, and this was maybe season two of The Simpsons when I gave it to them.

And they were very nice, Mike Reese and Al Jean.

And they said- Mike's been here.

We don't need anyone right now, but we'll keep you in mind.

In, in seasons one through four it was all, um, uh, Harvard Lampoon writers, you know?

Kogan, Reiss, Jean, yeah.

Yeah, for the most part.

Uh, Conan, Greg Daniels, George Meyer, John Swartzwelder, a genius.

He had a contract.

In four months his contract was up, and his job was to pitch jokes, and he said nothing for four months, because he just felt like, "Better to get fired, which I know I will be.

Rather that than embarrass myself with a bad pitch in front of Greg Daniels, George Meyer, Mike Reiss, you know, John Swartzwelder." And, and so that's, that's the way it was.

I think that's...
