Limerick Friday #422: Gottfried Gott Fired, Plus No Hiding From The Fake News


Had lots of optimism from the start
A promising beginning fell apart
Couldn’t keep a roster intact
Defense was a rumor not a fact
Gottfried built a program with no heart

His Hall of Fame bets I did hedge
Thought Jason Taylor was right on the ledge
He stood out on bad teams
As the ‘Fins fell apart at the seams
But he was always a terror off the edge

When all is lost, it seems
Can find stray sunbeams
Happiness a choice they say
Time is nothing but the next day
Solace can be found in dreams

To watch requires Zoloft
With mind-numbing turnovers oft
Individuals who don’t blend
And are pretty easy to defend
The Pack is just way too soft

Hard to avert your eyes
And ignore all the fraudulent lies
The scariest phrase in the mirror
Is our new “post-truth era”
Fascism with no pretense of disguise

Limerick Friday #421: How Long ‘Til Mark Gott Fired?, Plus Disney And “The OA” Good Distractions



Players with no heart
Strategy not worth a fart
A staff with no vision
Makes it an easy decision
Fire Gottfried for a fresh start

The Cheatriots did it again
Fell straight into a win
Brady is no joke
But Matty Ice was an epic choke
Evil Empire has me drinking gin

Rides in every park
Fireworks in the dark
Beers around the world
After we looped and twirled
Disney always hits the mark

Once they were relevant in March
Now for wins they are parched
Apathy has set in
Time to press reset again
Wolfpack Nation now turns to Arch

On NetFlix, I found “The OA”
It’s kinda pretty OK
On focus, it’s a bit bleary
On plot, it’s a bit eerie
We all need easy entertainment today
