I saw that, too. It looked as if Ozzy’s arm was draped across Cochran’s chest. It creeped me out more than a little bit, and I rewound it to see for sure. It turns out Cochran had his right arm in a weird position and it wasn’t Ozzy’s arm after all.

So no one has noted how crazy awesome it was to have Brandon’s Dad actually insinuate himself into strategy discussion? Frigging coming in and making deals? All the while with the trademark Hanz “Don’t fuck with me; I’m fucking nuts.” look in his eyes? I don’t think ever seen a “loved-ones visit” turn into that. They’ve got to get his Dad on the next show.

Yep. I did exactly the same thing for exactly the same reason.

He reminded me of a crazy sports dad making sure his son got playtime. The fact that he was talking to _Coach_ was the icing on the cake.

I totally noticed. That was really messed up.

Brandon to Dad: “my play will reflect Christian values”. Brandon’s Dad: “Fuck that, you’re going to fucking _win_, you little shit, and do NOT forget that”. And then the conversation with Coach: “Brandon’s going to do this, and you’re going to like it, _do you hear me?_”. Coach: “uh huh.” (departs in haste ASAP)

It was creepy as hell. No wonder Brandon is so messed up, his dad seems much worse than Russel, if that’s possible.

as much as I dislike Russel, maybe we need an all Hantz team. Or maybe Russell and Pa Hantz on opposite tribes.
