NFL Lockout Update: Chester Pitts Has a Pretty Good Barak Obama Impression

by Danny Kelly on May 10, 2011 12:55 PM PDT

Check out Chester Pitts and Raheem Brock crank-callin Roger Goodell. Even though he didn't actually use the word "turd" it's still pretty funny. This is what the NFL offseason has degenerated into. Video after the jump.

In serious news,

it looks like another day is going to go by without a ruling on the stay. I find it funny (and incredibly infuriating) how easily the judges found it to rule on and grant the temporary stay yet they refuse to sit down, take some time and rule on the permanent stay.

by Coach Owens on May 10, 2011 1:02 PM PDT reply actions

They may well leave the stay in place until the ruling

It is a bit aggravating, but what do you do?

by Thomas Beekers on May 10, 2011 1:35 PM PDT up reply actions

The ruling on the appeal may not before for two months.

by Coach Owens on May 10, 2011 2:17 PM PDT up reply actions

The appeal hearing is early June

That will hopefully be followed by an expedited decision but there’s no guarantees.

I’m just saying, there’s no reason for them not to hold up the temporary stay until then if they’re so inclined.

by Thomas Beekers on May 10, 2011 2:27 PM PDT up reply actions

My point is that the temp. stay was only so the players could reply

to the owners’ request for the permanent stay. Now the judges are instead going to just refuse to rule on the permanent stay? Why not just grant the stay then? It’s frustrating.

by Coach Owens on May 10, 2011 2:57 PM PDT up reply actions

Plus the problem is that if the panel of judges who are going to rule on the appeal

doesn’t overturn Nelson’s ruling, the NFL will just appeal to have the whole 8th Circuit hear the case. It could take months.

by Coach Owens on May 10, 2011 3:28 PM PDT up reply actions

Possibly the reason why they didn't rule on it?

They were at a retirement proceeding. Seriously. WHY DON’T THEY SCHEDULE THESE THINGS FOR THE WEEKEND WHEN THE COURTS ARE CLOSED?!?!

by Coach Owens on May 10, 2011 3:48 PM PDT up reply actions

Pitts is funny. He's also a smart dude.

I hope he doesn’t catch too much flack for this. I mean he played oboe… that’s a hard instrument to play.

Too bad "funny" and "plays oboe" doesn't translate to NFL performance...

Also, this wasn't really very funny.

Yeah, I agree.

And I wish they wouldn’t keep tagging the Seahawks name on this. Aren’t both of these guys FA’s?

Offseason 2011: Kelly Jennings, Craig Terrill, and Matt Hasselbeck...good riddance.

Yes, I'm actually kind of embarrassed that it's associated with the Seahawks.

I thought the bit about

Refrigerator Perry was funny

But it was worth it for the Refrigerator Perry one alone

Tough crowd. Though I agree it wasn't super hilarious.

I pretty much just thought Chester Pitts did a pretty good Obama. Probably better than that guy on SNL (Fred Armison), which isn’t saying much.

by Danny Kelly on May 10, 2011 2:33 PM PDT up reply actions

I actually thought his DeMaurice Smith was his best impression.

(If I’m complimenting this skit that is …)

The Rock did a pretty decent Obama on SNL.

Seriously.

Armison is TERRIBLE. Worse presidential impersonator in the history of SNL.

To be fair only Hartman and Ferrell were actually any good at it.

by Coach Owens on May 10, 2011 5:22 PM PDT up reply actions

I enjoyed Darrell Hammond's Clinton quite a bit

but then again, Hammond was an impersonation specialist.

by Kip Earlywine on May 10, 2011 5:26 PM PDT up reply actions

I liked prefered Hartman's Clinton.

by Coach Owens on May 10, 2011 5:29 PM PDT up reply actions

He did fine... I agree.

Also, Chevy Chase’s Ford Christmas scene was AMAZING.

And Dana Carvey’s Bush Snr. was great too. Don’t know how you have either forgotten or don’t appreciate “Got my Nikes on, Just Do It.”

Carvey was great as both Bush and Perot.

by Kip Earlywine on May 10, 2011 10:16 PM PDT up reply actions

Oh, his Perot... I had forgotten!

And Bob Dole, for that matter.

And Norm was great as Dole too…

If you like Norm MacDonald, his new show's worth checking out.

I watched it for the 1st time last night.

It was no 1998 ESPY’s, but it was solid stuff.

Love Hammond's Clinton

Can’t stand Ferrell’s Bush…[insert textual W. snicker here]

Speaking of not liking Busch: it looks like the whole Advanced Stats thing is just a cover.

How on earth did you find that?

Teams (for foreign blogs): Seahawks, Mariners, Huskies and Broncos. Yes, I recognize the contradiction; I was born in Denver.

Haha...

I knew I was committing sacrilege when criticizing Ferrell (always thought it was one-dimensional, and the wrong dimension at that) so I figured I’d try to find an impersonator that took full advantage of the opportunity Bush presents.

To find the long lost Field Gulls front man was an absolute stroke of luckitude.

by trippsixxes on May 11, 2011 11:18 AM PDT up reply actions

Chevy Chase fell down a lot!!!

I haven’t seen Arnisen because the only good aspects of today’s SNL are the digital shorts and those are invariably available all over the place the next day anyway. Anyway, I doubt he’s as bad as Dana Carvey doing Bush Sr.

by Johnny Slick on May 10, 2011 7:19 PM PDT up reply actions

I loved Bush Snr. by Carvey.

And the best thing about SNL these days is far and away Kristen Wiig. She’s the best female castmate ever, and comedy gold.

I like her in just about every movie she's been in but I hear her big character on SNL is beyond annoying.

by Johnny Slick on May 10, 2011 8:25 PM PDT up reply actions

Wait... "You hear" her big character is annoying?

Her “big character” is genius. But of course, it fits my comedy style. But she has several different characters both repeating and singular who are pretty funny…. sometimes painful, but dreadfully funny.

I disagree

Bill Hader doing Stephon is the funniest thing SNL has going for it.

Andy Samberg

Is the best thing on SNL. Kristen Wiig and the rest of the cast are mostly good but the writing is terrible. Some of the characters are godawful and they seem to have forgotten how to write a conclusion to almost every sketch they do.

They need to get away from making everything a "Talk Show Skit"

They need to get Jay Pharoah in front of the camera more.

Ending skits has always been an issue on SNL.

Though, to be fair, it’s an issue with all skit shows.

by djafrot on May 12, 2011 9:19 AM PDT up reply actions

I don't feel like this video is supposed to be terribly funny

If anything, it’s just out there to dig at the commissioner in a “light-hearted” way.

SNL Presidential Related

Tina Fey of course. Her Palin was awesome.

But the best impression EVER on SNL was John Goodman as Linda Tripp (the woman that ratted out Clinton and Monica Lewinski). His portrayal of Tripp was inspired!

by Tigloki on May 11, 2011 8:10 AM PDT reply actions

agreed on both counts...

Also, makes you wonder. I never thought Tina Fey looked anything like Sarah Palin going in.

Coming out of those skits, all I can think is, “I wonder what Sarah Palin actually looks like under all her expensive makeup.”
