DAVE LAPHAM NEEDS TO ENUNCIATE
We’re pretty sure that Dave Lapham’s saying “face-raking,” and just not enunciating all that well. However, the part of our brain that craves monster-truck-sized tires on old four-wheel roller skates and a world where Charles Bronson really does go home, pluck out a pipe, and splash a gallon of cologne on himself before smoking alone happily really wants him to have said “face-rape.” That’s a much better description of what happened on this play and to Iowa State in general in a 56-3 loss to Texas on Saturday.

I saw that live on Saturday. I definitely heard face-raping - even if that’s not what he actually said.

Dave and Brad can be pretty funny. I still like Lapham. I think that he is an idiot, but an idiot that loves football.
Aren’t we all?

Man, Lap and Brad are the greatest radio team in the NFL.
Nothing says love like hearing Lap say “PICK IT, PICK!” right before an interception.
Those two together have a totally warped sense of humor which is priceless when they’re doing games. They made the dark years bearable when you couldn’t hear the Bengals on TV, and when I was away in med school and couldn’t go to the bars to watch the games because I had to study (could always pick up the games online).

#10–it’s great stuff. Johansen will start calling a play, and Lapham will cut him off, screaming “GET ‘EM! GET ‘EM!” at the top of his lungs.

It was the only hole he hit the entire weekend.

I face-raped Darren McFourtyyards the night before the game.

#10 - What Bengals’ fans suffered through when they were losing, Lapham and Brad Johanssen more than made up for in humor from the booth. I don’t know how they got away with it given the petulant and hateful owner, but they were merciless.
Situation: Bengals losing by 28, late in the fourth quarter. They kick a field goal to avoid the shut-out.
Johanssen: Hold everything, we’ve got a whole new ballgame
Lapham: Yeah, that totally changed the complexion of this game.
