Back to the show, I'm still enjoying it. Maybe it's the editing, but O'Brien seems to be walking a very solid path between being a disciplinarian and being lighthearted. There are still multiple crack-up lines every episode. Watt is the least interesting player on the team; Charles James should stay on the roster if only for entertainment value.
Also, Mallett is a whiny bitch and would be the #3 QB (and traded/cut if another QB comes available) if I was in charge. Skipping practice the day after getting told he wasn't the starting QB - on a team that started 4 QBs last year - was a bitch move. He's 27, btw, a point that O'Brien made when he was told that someone was on the way to Mallett's home to find him once he failed to show and failed to answer any calls; O'Brien told them to turn (the fuck) around.
That was bad. Coming in the next day, and blaming the whole thing on forgetting to set an alarm and a dysfunctional phone, was worse. Oh, and his dog ate his playbook too. Skipping practice showed a lack of commitment; not taking responsibility for it shows a distinct lack of maturity. How can you lead the team in the heat of an NFL game when they see you behave like a spoiled baby?
Also, Savage has looked a more composed and effective QB anyway.
