LISTEN: The Rosenthal & Jeselnik Vanity Project Ep. 7

Kirk Cousins gets the RJVP treatment this week.

A week has passed and for some reason the NFL decided to let Anthony Jeselnik and Gregg Rosenthal back in the booth. And while this podcast is bleeped and edited, it’s actually complete.

Of course, Jeselnik and Rosenthal expected to be back, but with the NFL you just never know. The rules can change on a dime.

They spend a lot of time talking about Jeselnik’s jersey preference, then go on to Fox News suspensions and how much the NFL doesn’t want them to play rap songs. In this regard, I agree wholeheartedly with the NFL. The less rap the better.

There was also an issue with a producer, which might be solved by getting him fired. I think his name was Brandon. Brendan. Brindin. One of Tom Peters’ kids. Anyway, there’s a woman now and they seem to get along well with her.

The best segment was an audio piece making fun of Kirk Cousins, who really loves to stay positive.

“I can’t stand when quarterbacks don’t try to sound like quarterbacks” Jeselnik said. “Kirk Cousins sounds like a divorced dad trying to make Christmas OK for his kids even though he can’t buy presents. They’re sitting around and old Christmas tree and he’s like ‘Guys, isn’t this great? We’re a family. We’re together.’ He should have been fired on the spot.”

Rosenthal took issue with the question that brought it on.

“That person should have their press credentials removed,” Rosenthal said. “That’s the most ridiculous, homer question ever. And for a player to call you out twice and say how much they appreciate that particular question, that’s the last thing you want to hear as a reporter.”

The talk about Antonio Brown’s touchdown celebration, how many cups he had to be wearing when he did it and how that celebration alone will put Brown’s jersey on Jeselnik’s back, replacing the 10,079 Hines Ward jerseys he already owns.

They also cover some territory that I wanted to go over, but haven’t really found a PG-13 ish angle on and that’s the shenanigans that seem to keep happening at Buffalo Bills games. Social media has exploded with people having sex at the games, doing cocaine in the stands. Some girl hit Craigslist  looking for a guy she gave a handy to while her boyfriend was in the rest room. It’s Sodom and Gamorrah over there and I’ve been trying to find the time and angle to approach it.

Rosenthal and Jeselnik did, but it evidently crossed that NFL line because it was edited out too. It can’t be discussed. It’s a Caligula party at every Bills game and we’re all just going to have to pretend it isn’t happening.

In not sports talk, they discussed some Fox News suspensions and why the lady and man, who I would not be able to pick out of a police line up, called Barack Obama a bad name. They should come to my mom’s on Thanksgiving.
