Oldie but a Goodie: Mike Ditka “Rearranges His Furniture” on National TV

[Editor's note: I originally posted this on July 27th, 2010, but since it's a slow afternoon and everyone's appetite is now whet for football, it seemed at least mildly appropriate.]

I’m going to make this post like a Christopher Nolan movie. So allow me to answer a question before I’ve even asked it:

I’m 29 years old.

Now that we have that out of way, I want to share with you a video and descriptive phrase I just saw over at Pro Football Talk that made me laugh out loud. Yes, I give literal meaning to “LOL”.

I share with you in hopes that it inspires a similar reaction:

mike-ditkaFirst the funny description from Florio, which came in a post discussing the recent announcement that Mike and Mike mercifully will not be doing the second MNF game on opening weekend this year.

Still, the three-year experiment wasn’t a total waste.  Without it, cameras never would have captured the rearrangement of furniture that occurred in the booth when Mike and Mike were joined by another Mike.

I have never heard this described as “rearrangement of furniture” before – and when I first read that paragraph my initial reaction was that they were actually moving business furnishings around. It’s a great description. (Let’s just be happy that the phrase “moving office cubicles around” was not warranted, am i right?)

And now the video, which is made absolutely perfect by the inclusion of the theme song for the Chicago Bulls introductions during the MJ era.

That’s it.

And yes, I did just make this meaningless post on the heels of this meaningless post from this morning while our new writers are contributing great stuff like this, all on a day when there are serious NFL topics like this to discuss.

So, go ahead. Ask me.

How old are you?

I’m 29 years old.

What’s it to you?

[Editor's note: I promise I'll write something that requires an IQ of greater than 75 tomorrow.]
