Magic 116, Cavs 87 – Somewhere, The Magic Just Made Another Three.
April 4, 2009Jackets Playoff Push Update – 4/4
April 4, 2009So this past Monday I was reading through my Twitter feed and came across this gem from USC Head Football Coach Pete Carroll (@petecarroll):
“Just finished talking ball with Cleveland Browns head coach Eric Mangini in my office…”
This got me wondering what they could be talking about aside from football, and what things Mangini might pick up from the most capable recruiter and arguably the most successful NCAA coach that’s out there right now (don’t flame me about it, you know it’s true). Here are some of my ideas on the changes that could be made in Berea:
1) Mangini starts to use cool California words like “rip”, “gnarly” and “dude”. This will be one of the hardest things to verify, since he says so much at his pressers it’s nearly impossible to catch all the words that he uses. However, with sideline camera technology we may be able to catch his response when if Braylon actually catches the ball. Odds of Mangini speaking surfer talk: 5 to 1. (Odds of Braylon catching the ball 2:1)
2) The internet will become flooded with pictures depicting how fun of a guy Mangini is. He could be just hanging out in his swim trunks, having a laugh. He could be dancing the Soulja Boy dance. Mangini dancing – I think it would probably look like this. Mangini starts the fire, then makes the beans. Odds of Mangini being fun: 7 to 2
3) Popular social networking websites will become part of Mangini’s repertoire. Here he will utilize his new found internet savvy to spread his new words – “rip”, “gnarly”, and “dude”. His Facebook marital status will say “Divorced from William Belichick”. His Twitter feed would have great insightful messages like “No comment” and “I don’t have a lot to say about that right now but maybe later I will have something to say, but not right now”. These words, along with his worldwide reach by internet will allow him to recruit players to the Browns: “@David_Bowens : You used to play for me, and it was neat wasn’t it?” “@JayCutler : Brett Favre says he loved playing for me” “@David_Bowens : Come on, the Browns have a great AARP membership”. He’s got a lot to learn from Coach Carroll in this department. Odds of Mangini rocking the inter-nets: 10 to 1.
4) Much like Carroll’s former players, the players who learn from Mangini will have sweet dance moves, which their coach probably taught them. Odds of Mangini teaching his dance moves to players: 12 to 1.
5) Hugely impressed by Southern Cal, Mangini will bring in the cold-weather version of the Song Girls. Please Coach Mangini – please. The rest of this post was in jest. This point was not. Do it. Odds of this actually happening: 10000 to 1. 🙁

I hope he was talking to Carroll about Rey Maualuga… yes, we still are at the “14-year-old-school-at-a-Jonas-Brothers-concert” level on our man crush on Maualuga at NoLogoNeeded.com
Mangini, make this happen!
I agree with Don, provided we trade out of #5. Rey’s a bit of a reach there.
Don,
Thanks for bringing the Jonas Brothers into this.
Oh is so hope they draft him. Who freaking cares if they pick him at #5. Seriously, what does that matter on the field? I know that I am not alone, especially on this site when I say that he is going to be a freaking warrior on Sundays and the Browns would be stupid to pass him up, no matter where they draft him at!!!
Forget Rey Rey
Clay Matthews FTW
Maualuga is a 2 down linebacker. He has bust written all over him. Most scouts think he sucks. He may fall into 2nd round.
maualuga is not a 2-down backer. Phil said it to make waves and it’s caught on some blogs.
Rey and Taylor have been USC’s playmakers the past 2 seasons and it’s not like that will go away. Rey does need more discipline, and he needs a coach that won’t put up with his crud. Sounds a lot like a certain coach that was hired here actually.
that said, I agree that he doesn’t have enough value at #5….if we trade down, or get extra picks and trade up into the late 1st; it would be nice.
[…] Izzo to the NBA talk is heating up…again Tom and Giseles 2nd wedding was a blast. With gunfire. Eric Mangini and Pete Carroll are teaming up? Trot Nixon is also known as the president of Syria Tommy John surgery is like steroids for pitchers […]
Well now that Kellen Winslow has a raise @ 36.1 Million dollars
do you think Braylon will tell himself I’m better than KW maybe I’ll try the open market. End result I can only see Eric Heiden. As for Mangini talking to Pete Carroll in his office Don’t theyboth seem a little flaky? I wish Mangini would either start Brady Quinn and use him all the upcoming year or trade him. Quinn deserves better than hanging out on he bench. Realbrow
