The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for February 07, 2020

OK!

How many people remember Boomer Esiason?

Univ of MD quarterback who actually took the Cincinnati Bengals to the Super Bowl and then move d to ESPN commentator, asI recall.

“SUCK IT, TREBEK!” -S. Connery

“Sooner Boomer” is sometimes heard in Norman!

I see him every week during the season on NFL Today.

3rd contestant. Slipped one past the censors. Nice.

and from then on reinventing the wheel became popular

I had to Google that.

Not bad

It would have been less pejorative if Trebek asked about the Aloha State…

That question is much more difficult than the ones usually used on Celebrity Jeopardy.

e.g. “Who’s buried in Grant’s Tomb.”

I’ve NEVER understood the Oklahoma “Boomer Sooner” phrase. It’s just so clumsy…

Which state is The Later State?

Help. I get the Boomer Esiason joke. I get that the abbreviation for Oklahoma is OK. I see Tony Danza and Willem Dafoe. But how does any of that relate to a “pejorative retort” which is a disparaging comment? The University of Oklahoma fight song, by the way, is Boomer Sooner. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qILOCvvF-cA

I first saw the above joke on a SuperBowl commercial. But Hilburn took it to a new level but referencing OK. Nice!

I really, really hate “Okay, Boomer.” It’s stereotyping a whole generation, and the some of the kids who use it insult anyone older than they are with it. One little snot in a group I belong to said that Boomers knew nothing and brought nothing to technology. I said, “Steve Jobs.” I could have added Bill Gates, etc., but he shut up.

It took me a while to realize the football player’s name and put it together. As a woman who doesn’t watch football, it was a distant memory of an unusual name that finally came through.

And if he gets a franchise for a well known drive-in, he’ll be a Sonic Boomer.

He fumbled that one.

That guy’s getting kicked out of the studio. Who shouts answers on a game show?

And with John Bolton As Alex Trebeck

LMAO!!!
