“I don’t know,” Lewis said. “I watched games because it had an affect on things I was doing and so forth and strategically and so forth if I had an opportunity to watch another game. But I’d probably spend more time watching golf on TV than football, and with my responsibilities here at ASU, I’ll probably be a little busy on Sundays.”"

Merv, we don't miss you either and so forth.

He did well there.

It's like watching a long and disappointing marriage end.  We've divorced Marvin and we are hooking up with ZT and saying "Things are going to be much better with you, because everything that went wrong before was 100% the fault of my ex!"  

What a sexy simile that is!
