SMART BANKING WITH MIKE LEACH

by Orson on Oct 27, 2009 1:31 PM EDT

Mike Leach does a different banking segment each week as part of an endorsement deal with trusted local Lubbock financiers Vista Bank, and we'll be damned if they don't feel like mid-80s Letterman schtick in its prime. (Like "How Much Gas is In Larry Holmes' Car?", where Dave would simply call Larry Holmes, chitchat with him politely, and then ask how much gas was in his car.) This week's tip: know your checking balance. Oh, it all sounds so simple, Mike Leach, until you find yourself stranded in a Miami hotel room at 5 in the morning with an empty bucket of chicken, three beers, and no gas money back home. Then talk to us about knowing the rules of smart banking, Mr. "I don't have uncontrollable benders with extensive memory gaps." We have a series, and it's called "Smart Coaching." Rule three is "Don't lose to a Texas A&M team coached by Mike Sherman."

AAAARRRRR, I thought pirates raped and pillaged and had no need for debit cards, as they paid for dinner at the Waffle House with pieces of eight and doubloons.

Mike Sherman, breaking the spirits of his fans and occasionally his opponents with the same lack of enthusiasm since 2008!

I eagerly await Coach Leach’s dating advice; specifically his stance on fat girlfriends.

…make them “conversate”??? Capn Leach coins a new word. Or maybe that’s some Wyoming lingo.

I hate to quibble, Orson, because the work is always top notch, but the heavyweight in question in re Letterman is Joe Frazier. “Good afternoon, Smokin’ Joe Frazier’s office.” “Did you top off the tank, Joe?” “Why take the top off, Dave?”
