Note: It should be “altogether”. “Altogether” is an adverb, modifying the verb “avoid”, meaning “completely or utterly”. “All together” is just a phrase that means that things are in a group. Example: “My family was gathered all together for Thanksgiving and we were altogether disappointed by my mother’s cooking.”
Note: “Cold Pizza” was a show on ESPN2 that Woody was co-host of for a while.
Who's on first? No, who's the headliner?
Note: I’m not sure if Woody’s joking or not, so, in the interest of being historically accurate, the famous General at The Battle of the Little Big Horn was “Custer”, not “Custard”.
Note: Zorn = Jim Zorn, the head coach of the Washington Redskins.
Note: Plaschke = Bill Plaschke, another panelist on the show.
