Deep Thoughts By No-Look McFadden: Episode 17


#1
I can’t tell you how much I would pay for a Doug Heffernan bobblehead doll. Hell, for that matter, I would also kill for a George Costanza one as well.

#2
Brandon Marshall and a fifth-rounder for Ned Ginn and two second-rounders? Sold.

#3
Not to dwell on Ned Ginn too much, because he took an insane amount of heat in Miami, and even though it was deserved, it’s not like the guy ever embarrassed the team off the field or anything. But his “fuck” and “bitch”-laden Twitter tirade was just more proof that it was time for him to go -- anywhere. And note to Ned: Don’t have a Twitter account if you can’t handle the occasional buttnugget weighing in with some criticism.
And best of luck in San Francisco … seems like the right town for you.

#4
So KFC has a new sandwich called the Bunless Double-Down Sandwich, which replaces the buns on a chicken sandwich with more, well, chicken. I honestly thought it was an SNL sketch ("Pizza?! Now that’s what I call a taco!") the first time I saw it.

#5
Strong speculation is that Wolfpack rising junior guard Julius Mays is transferring out of the program after recognizing that he won’t be seeing many minutes in the next couple of years as the Pack dramatically upgrades its backcourt talent. I for one will always remember Mays as only State player who played with any heart at all during the ACC Tournament loss to Maryland in 2008-09, when he dropped in a career-best 18 points.
Best of luck to Mays wherever he ends up.

#6
I had vomit-accompanied déjà vu when Jack W. Bauer dropped a “nucular” during a recent episode of “24.”

#7
“Hospitality is making your guests feel at home, even if you wish they were.” Learn it. Know it. Live it.

#8
Another clue to some of the answers to “Lost” was revealed when the Man In Black admitted that he had occasionally taken the form of dead loved ones in order to influence the survivors for his own purposes. So some of the “ghosts” are those who are essentially in purgatory and can’t “move on” (Michael’s words) while others are appropriated by the MIB for mischievous reasons.
There is also a theory that Desmond is replacing Jacob as the “fix-it man” while Jack is being groomed to replace the MIB as the “mischief man.” However, a more plausible theory could be that Desmond is trying to reunite the survivors to force those off the island to remember their on-island lives, thus blending and merging the alternate timelines. Also, is the “mysterious child” the judge between good and evil?
Carry on.

Hey C.J. Leslie, Kate Gosselin thinks you’re attention-starved. Quit looking for a spotlight that isn’t there and make a big-boy decision.

#10
Coupla thoughts about Jason Taylor to the New York Jets, outside of the do-I-even-have-to-say-it dry-heaving reaction. First thing to keep in mind is Taylor has the Miami media in his pocket, so you have to take half the reaction from the hand-wringing, up-in-arms columnists with a grain of salt, because their opinions are rife with his ready-made phrasing. The second thing is that the Dolphins do have a lot to learn about PR, lest they travel down the road of Jimmy Johnson and combine failure with fan acrimony. I agree with Zach Thomas in that there is a right and wrong way to treat a player who is and was a pillar of the franchise, and too often, Miami is taking the wrong way.
All that being said, F you JT. You still chose to dance with the devil.
