Ask Me Anything, As Long As It Ain't Stupid

Hey Mung,
We love your great insight! What do you make of Marshawn Lynch's post game interview after the win against Arizona?
Chuck and Leslie D., Tucson, AZ

Mung:
Man that dude's got some pair of stones. Every question they asked, he said the same thing - "Thanks you"..."Thank you for asking"..."I know, thank you for asking..."
Guys, I don't know where his gripes with reporters comes from, but he sure ain't worth talkin' to. Yeah, he had one hell of a touchdown run lookin' like an outta control tow truck, but if he's gonna pull a dummy act like that, well hell, they shouldn't bother with him. 

Mung,
Is Rex Ryan history with the Jets?
Corrine T., Valley Stream, NY

Mung:
I hate to say it but 'ol Rex is deader than the dude those boys propped up in "Weekend At Bernies." Three wins is three wins and even though the players say they love the guy, well heck -- they sure didn't show it. Six years ain't a bad run. Maybe Rex is just more suited to bein' a defensive coordinator.

Ask Me Anything, As Long As It Ain't Stupid

Hey Mung,
What do you think about the Rajon Rondo trade?
Delia H., Framingham, MA

Mung:
Well that's a mullet-scratcher for sure Delia. We all know Rondo can walk at the end of the season but I think Mark Cuban wouldn't send all those folks to Beantown without havin' somethin' up his sleeve. Anytime you can trade a bunch of seat warmers for a proven star 'ya gotta go with it. I remember when I was still toyin' with engines the Lakers and Bucks made a big deal - Kareem for Brian Winters, Mel Bridgeman, Elmore Smith, and David Myers. Guess who got the better of that one! So now 'ya got Rondo join' the likes of Dirk Nowitski, Monta Ellis, Tyson Chandler and Chandler Parsons. Ain't too shabby if 'ya ask me. But the Celtics came away with some good stuff too -- they got a number one and number two pick and now they got eight first rounders in the next four years. Unless you're the Knicks you sure can build a team with that.

Ask Me Anything...As Long As It Ain't Stupid

Hey Mung,
Is Johnny Football Done?
Ned D., Austin, TX

Mung:
Good question Ned. It sure ain't fair to judge a man by just one game. But if you do, I'd have to say he's shot to hell. Aside from getting whacked 30-0 by Cincy he sure looked like a whooped school boy. I mean 80 yards and two picks -- they had that boy runnin' around like a baby with his diaper on fire! Those Browns had their offense on the field for only 20 minutes. But 'ya know what? Tomorrow's another day. And even if that tomorrow comes next Sunday at Carolina I think he's learned a lot. Ain't quite sure though if it's enough to keep him startin'.
