"Hello, John Madden here for Sunday Night Football.  Boy, this game should be, uh, great!  Matt, we have the New England Patriots taking on the Assorted Current Baseball Players Playing, uh, Football.  Man, that's a mouth, uh, full!"

"That's right, John.  And even though you really stink, you are broadcasting this game!  Wait, didn't you retire?"

"Uh, uh, doink!  Surprise!  I'm back!"

"Great, John..."

"Look Matt, the game's, uh, starting.  Can you run through the ACBPPF's (Assorted Baseball Players Playing Football) line-up?

"Sure, John...After the coin toss, it was decided that the ACBPPF's will start the game by receiving the ball.  Their offensive line-up:

"On the line is Prince Fielder playing left tackle, the left guard today is Jose Molina, the center is Bengie Molina, the right guard is Yadi Molina, and the right tackle is Poablo Sandoval.

"Wow."

"Yes, John."

"Wow."

"You just said that, John."

"What?"

"I said you just said that"

"What did you say I say, uh, I just said?"

"Forget it!" 

"The kicker is out, Izzy Alcantara, most famous for his kicking the catcher during a minor league ball game.  The hike.  Oh, and a perfect set up, but Izzy misses, and kicks the setter.  Izzy'll grab the ball, and run towards the wrong end zone, and fall over.  I've never seen this!"

"Wow"

"Hey, Bob, can you get this geezer out of here?"
