Adam says the coach was wearing a Raider’s Jersey while coaching the ‘Bengals’ the coach said he hates the name and didn’t choose it, the coach who started the season and then flaked out had already ordered the Jerseys and now this guy had to see the season through with a team he hates.

Adam says his daughter’s balance is innate and he knew it, he talks about his unicycle riding and why turning is harder for him in one direction and how he forces himself to practice figure 8’s until he can get a certain amount done, a mind bet of sorts ala Ray Romano.
