Did we get two new Tomlinisms here? I don't think I've ever heard him say “Guys just didn’t let go of the rope.” And I definitely haven't heard him quote The Godfather before.

It's always fun when he adds more cowboys to his western, or whatever the right metaphor for this is...

:tomlinism:

His quote about concession stands was pretty funny, regardless of how I feel about the situation.

I guess these types of wins really fire up the quote machine. :chuckle:

That's obviously a tried and true arrow in his quote quiver, but you forgot to throw a few "obviously"s in there. Obviously. :)

That may have been an anecdotal quip considering there were so many Steeler fans.

Wonder why he talks the way he does. Must drive his family crazy. [emoji38]

Kids, it's time to do your homework, the standard is the standard. Sorry son, that's obviously incorrect...take that to your teacher will be like walking into a hostile environment if you will. This effort here is not indicative of what your capable of son. Obviously, The other men in your class will be stepping up their game if you will and you'll want to ride with your brethren and be the best group of young men you can be. You want to be above the standard.

You need to challenge yourself to do better homework than your peers. The men in that classroom will compete together, obviously. Iron sharpens iron.

Looks to be an epic thread in the making...

Obviously son, this isn't your first rodeo. There are certain comforts with that continuity but you can't worry about style points if you will, you need to realize that at your age, the arrow is pointing up.
