Absurd Jon Gruden Quotes

[HammerDown]

I've been meaning to do this the last three weeks and wish I had to keep a running log of his lame-brained statements. Here are my two favorites from tonight and it's just the start of the second half.

"Break the season into quarters. If you can go 2-2 in each quarter, you're 8-8 but if you can win all four games, that's really good."

"The Saints defense is forcing the Miami QB to move the drive down the field."

Add yours as he says them. I'm not watching the second half of this game but no doubt he has at least one more Grudenism in him tonight.

Ray Lewis is a high character guy

He actually knows his football

 

[Thruthefog]

But he's terrible as a broadcaster.

 

[NinerSickness]

How 'bout the one he made tonight?

"I'm calling him the road runner because when he catches you it's all over."



Shouldn't you be calling him Wile e Coyote then?

But he's terrible as a broadcaster.

If by terrible you mean good, then yeah

The one good thing about being back to work way up north is I don't get ESPN. As much as I love watching football, I cannot watch MNF. Gruden is the most annoying commentator I have ever heard in 40 plus years of watching. Kornheiser maybe as bad but he was just comic relief.

Maybe in Gruden's mind road runners are terrifying creatures.

Anyone notice this annoying habit of Gruden? If not, you will next week. Anytime a word begins with a T he adds extra emphasis to it. Wish I hadn't started noticing it because now it drives me nuts.

You must either be

His agent
Related to him or
Just kidding

He has a weird obsession with Junior Gallette

There was a 15 second span where he said his name 3/4 times

"DJ Fluker is the tallest tackle I've ever seen and I've stood next to some monsters."

Fluker is 6' 5" and the he's not even the taller than the Chargers OG's, both 6' 6", or King Dunlap 6' 9".

What an idiot.

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

That guy there......


I tell ya......

 

[Smart]

He even said on drat day that Russell Wilson was a special player who deserved to be taken before the third round. God, what an idiot.

 

[HammerDown]

I shit you not. He just said this. Verbatim quote.

"Pressure is the only way the Chargers have gotten legitimate pressure on Luck tonight."

 

[pumpkinhead33793]

What a weirdo he is.

"For those playing football on Thanksgiving with your friends make sure to get out and practice "Spider 3 Y Banana"

"Ben Rothlisberger is like trying to sack an oak tree..he's that strong"

"I'm going to get back at Andy Reid and Mariucchi. Look at that Le Sabre I had to drive"

I shit you not. He just said this. Verbatim quote.

"Pressure is the only way the Chargers have gotten legitimate pressure on Luck tonight."

I heard that and thought maybe I had just had a few too many. Thanks for confirming.

I love the nicknames he comes up for guys. Jon Gruden is great because it's like he drank a 12 pack before he gets in the booth.
