Facial expressions in impressions are a 'cheat' to make people believe the voice is better

The facial stuff is all a cheat. If you can do the mannerisms and the stuff with your face, it's a total cheat to get people to believe the voice is better than it is because people will start to see.

This is a professional observation from a veteran impressionist about performance psychology.

The Saints' running game is elite (and Buffalo's defense stinks)

In terms of rushing touchdowns, the Saints had a six-pack, or as they call it in Buffalo, an amuse-bouche... It was a bumpy, bumpy, red, infected day for the big Bills D.

The 2017 Saints finished 5th in rushing yards and 2nd in rushing touchdowns; Buffalo's defense struggled significantly that week.

Case Keenum is actually a pretty good quarterback

Case Keenum is pretty good. I'm feeling it... Vikings are kind of fly... Don't blink 182 now, but the Vikings are 7-2.

Keenum led the Vikings to the NFC Championship game that season, proving he was indeed playing at a high level in 2017.

Week 10 gave us clarity on who the actual good teams are in the NFL

I have one word for you for Week 10. You ready for it? Clarity. We actually know who's good now... it's basically the Vikings, the Rams, the Eagles [and] the Saints.

The four teams listed (Eagles, Vikings, Rams, Saints) all finished the season with 11+ wins and made the playoffs, with the Eagles winning the Super Bowl.

I am a ping pong shark who carries a $250 paddle just in case a game breaks out.

I used to get off a plane and go play in a ping pong tournament... Not Olympic level, but probably... I brought my paddle. It's a lot like Roy Hobbs in 'The Natural' carrying a trombone case. I carry it just in case a ping pong game breaks out and you never know what's going to happen... $250 paddles.

Jake confirms later in the episode that Frank is the best player to ever visit the office and 'destroyed' him.

Jon Gruden is exactly the same person in real life as he is on TV

He's actually a really funny guy. I mean, you think he's trying to be that way when you watch him on Monday night... That's just who he actually is. It's that crazy.

This aligns with numerous other accounts of Gruden's personality from players and colleagues.
