Let’s imagine Tom Friedman is in an Indianapolis taxi driving to Lucas Oil Stadium for the NFL Scouting Combine. Tom Friedman asks the cab driver what he thinks about the NFL Scouting Combine because that would be a most Tom Friedman thing to do.
Years ago the late, great Jack Germond said reporters simply shouldn't fall back on the taxi driver cliche. As usual, he was 100% correct.
This also brings to mind George Burns' wonderful observation: "It's a shame all the people who know how to run this country are driving taxis and cutting hair."
I have a very cool NFL Combine t-shirt from 2008. Bought it at a thrift store - it was either a buck or a buck and a half. Looks like it was given to participants - certainly not sold to fans.
The cab driver should take Friedman for a 'ride'.
"What does this pretend Allen Iverson say to our imaginary Thomas Friedman about the NFL Scouting Combine?"
Your wife is flat.
He should have realized that his tattooist needed some practice.
"They pay me to practice. I play for free."
