Love to spare when job-seeking Gruden's on air

I'm Jon Gruden and I love you.

If you haven't noticed by now, on the Monday Night Football broadcasts, I express my love for everything and everyone.

I love rainbows, giraffes and late fees. I love three-step drops, Oreck vacuums and yards after contact.

I love Greg Jennings and Waylon Jennings.

Hyperbole? Jon Gruden gives that an emphatic thumbs-up. (US Presswire)

And I love you. Wooo-daddy!

Some of you might think I express my unabashed and shameless love for every single player in the NFL because I'm setting myself up to be a coach. You people are such cynical weenies. But I still love you.

By the way, the Buffalo Bills are a helluva franchise and I love them, and my undying Bills declaration has nothing to do with the fact they have a coaching opening. Love how Dick Jauron looks like Skeletor. Have you seen the Bills? Great team, man! That Terrell Owens is special.

I coached Skeletor once, and he's a helluva guy. Love that boney-ass face, man.

I love icicles, gargoyles and the Mayans. The Mayans are my boys. Hoo-ey!

That federal stimulus money is doing a helluva job. Love tax breaks, too, man. Every American should have a tax break and a Favre jersey.

I love Juicy Fruit, pepperoni and Bill Belichick. Fourth-down plays that don't work? Beautiful, man.

Notre Dame is having a great year. Love me some Irish. So what if Army, Navy and Air Force beat them every season by 30? Have you seen Charlie Weis? I'd love to have a slim waistline like his. Who wouldn't?

Speaking of Notre Dame, give me Brady Quinn any day of the freaking week, man. What an accurate thrower. Love me some Brady.

I love herbal tea, Dick Vitale and mammograms.

And I love Tim Tebow. Did you see what I told the Orlando Sentinel about Tim Tebow?

"Tim Tebow is so interesting to me," I said. "He's like Brandon Jacobs playing quarterback. He's 250 pounds. He's the strongest human being who's ever played the position. Ever. He will kick the living [expletive] out of a defensive lineman. He'll fight anybody. He is rare. Tebow is the kind of guy who could revolutionize the game. He's the 'wildcat' who can throw. Most of the teams that have the wildcat back there, it's Ronnie Brown, it's Jerious Norwood, it's whoever you want to say it is. This guy here is 250 pounds of concrete cyanide, man. And he can throw. He throws well enough at any level to play quarterback."

Concrete cyanide. Love me some concrete.

You know what I love besides every team in the history of the NFL? A sunset. Nutin' like a sunset, man. Makes you all tranquil and stuff.

I love the name Anquan. I'm naming my next son Anquan. Anquan Gruden. That's beautiful!

Have you ever read the RICO Act? Man, it's a thing of great beauty. I love the RICO.

I love everything.

Except Keyshawn Johnson. Can't stand him.

But I love you.

Hoo-ey!

I wouldn't expect most people to get the humor from this article. Really the only people who would get it are people from the Boston area that listen to 98.5 sports hub.

Freeman is an idiot but he is right on this one...probably using the Toucher and Rich material to try and get some praise. Who knows. However, Jon Gruden is absolutely absurd when he is in the booth on Monday Night

I don't love your writing Mike, but I love this article. And I hate Jon Gruden. A part of me died when I heard they extended this sh!tstain's commentary contract.  Hell, I'd rather they bring Kornheiser back than have to listen to Gruden's ridiculous color commentary.

Let me guess, you look up to Stephen King and you probably have never heard of Hemmingway. (I know you have, but man you suck at writing) Your attempt to be whtty are down right shameful. We all know why you and the other hack keep your jobs. You eityher write garbage pieces (ahem) that get people to respond with anger, or you write purposefully infamatory stories (trollish) to get response. You a ...(more)

I generally give every writer a chance and try not to be the one to criticize but I'm not sure I follow the point to this article. It didn't really seem like there was any insight just random comments that are supposed to be reflecting somebody's attitude. i don't know I just don't get the point of spending time typing up such an article.
