I watched one today for the first time in a while. It seems that with no FBG branding, Lammey and Bloom may have taken the 5MD away from the FBG franchise.
Well written David!
Boy that sucks on ON Networks part. Interestingly though they have a link for a free issue of Footballguys.com magazine for filling out a survey (to first 100) that is displayed right next to where the video is playing. Made it seem like there was still a connection there.
Don't go there, RN. Now that T5MD has gone all corporate and gotten away from their grassroots beginnings, The Man is forcing Lammey to keep that haircut. I miss the faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaade!!! This last episode he didn't even point at the camera... talk about mailing it in.
It came up on the right hand side and said limited to the first 100 sign ups. I would figure since they were still advertising it , that they didnt hit the 100 signups yet.
LOLDon't tell Steve Smith
The new haircut is awesome, especially since I don't have a blind barber anymore.
Let's just say "the suits" told me after Draftguys TV, "we can't tell you to lose weight, you just need to get tighter."So now I'm eating right for the first time in my life (metabolism isn't what it used to be) and I'm working out. :flex:
Cecil, consider that your 'Welcome to Hollywood'.Just picture the 'E!' Entertainment Exec from Knocked Up saying 'tighten'.The new haircut is awesome, especially since I don't have a blind barber anymore.

try loading them from the main page, or you can check them out on youtube as well
You ARE the Man, Cecil. Good for you on the eating right and getting "healthy," but I want to see your next "You know the drill!" with 1/2 a chili dog in your mouth. That'll learn 'em.The new haircut is awesome, especially since I don't have a blind barber anymore.Let's just say "the suits" told me after Draftguys TV, "we can't tell you to lose weight, you just need to get tighter."

That's how they roll, alright. They take turns wearing the "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire Blue" button down. It's all part of the 5MD Drinking game we came up with last season. (That chili dog gimmick from up above would be a good addition. ) I'm also convinced that since we never see them from the waist down that both Cecil and Sigmund aren't wearing any pants when these are filmed.....and I feel about as bad as a person can feel for Faletti because of it.
Cecil....bro....you've gotta bring back the "White Dude Road Runner Fade" at some point. The Drill sans Road Runner Fade is like having pizza with no sauce, LenDale White without the fat jokes, or going to see Donnie Iris in concert without The Cruisers. It just ain't natural.If Cecil won't bring back the coif, that leaves you, Sig. You may have to step up and take one for the team.
Great point. This is the first time I've seen the show, only watched the Week 2 prep, so take my remarks off a limited sample for what it is -- just a new fan of the show offering some constructive criticism -- you guys are great, the show is compelling and chock full of fantastic info, so I know you can take constructive criticism.You obviously don't want to stand there like stiffs, so a little animated emphasis is obviously what you gotta do. But in the Week 2 prep vid, it almost looks like you were overcoached on the hand gestures, and were stressing every word, rather than the impact bites. Most noticeable by Bloom in the "tusnami sweeping through the rest of the pats offence" bit at around 1:27.It was almost like you guys were overcoached on the hand gestures just prior to the show, so there was some overcompensation during your takes.Anyway, that's all I got -- overall, you come across as authoritative, the energy level is great, and the delivery is succinct and engaging. Keep up the fantastic work, looking forward to next week! :XGood episode this week with the 'Week 2 Prep'... Oh, can you guys tie your hands behind your back next week? The incessant orchestra conducting is a bit distracting.
I got a fever....and the only cure is MORE hand gestures! :XGood episode this week with the 'Week 2 Prep'... Oh, can you guys tie your hands behind your back next week? The incessant orchestra conducting is a bit distracting.
you should see what happens if we accidentally spill water on our shirts. Faletti goes
:yktd:
Cecil - since I cant find THE 5 MIN DRILL under the podcasts, where exactly can I find it?!?you should see what happens if we accidentally spill water on our shirts. Faletti goes

See Dodds post earlier in this thread, and I'm editing the Drive Block right now and will release to Itunes shortly.
I never took a public speaking class in college. Almost did, though. Can you elaborate on the theory behind this? Are people in PS classes taught to use hand motion for emphasis, because it makes your point more convincing? I notice politicians also do it constantly.I take cues on hand gestures from my days of public speaking. We'll keep an eye on that as to not go overboard.
The theory is really just a way to keep the audience engaged in what you're saying. When I was in front of an audience I would do several things to keep their attention and (hopefully) keep them hanging on every word.Hand gestures have a way of emphasizing certain words, and you can speak with your hands almost as much as you speak with your mouth. You can convey emotion - panic, uncertainty, comfort, etc - all through various hand gestures. There are also gestures that you must stay away from because they make an audience feel uncomfortable (hands together at the fingertips is one of them). One must show confidence and conviction when public speaking, and gestures show a mastery of what you're saying.I would also use (and still do) fluctuations in my voice. I love taking the audience for a ride and by emphasizing, whispering, stretching or shortening words you ensure that the crowd is listening at all times. Nobody likes to hear a monotone speaker for very long. You can turn your sentences into cliffhangers with only your voice.And finally I would walk around while speaking - and MAINTAIN EYE CONTACT. I was in several speaking competitions - that I won - because I was going up against speakers that would stand behind the podium with hands locked onto the sides. Even if they were good speakers, who are you going to remember? Is it the guy standing still, or the guy wandering around engaging the audience and using his voice to make it fun to listen to. I remember often being the ONLY one to walk away from the podium. At first I was apprehensive, but my speaking coach reassured me it would work and after the first competition I recognized the power in speaking to and audience and not AT and audience.Raider Nation said:I never took a public speaking class in college.

Good stuff.I think I remember Bill Clinton being a "hands together at the fingertips" kinda guy.
