FUAD REVEIZ
PHIL RIPPA
(with the assist from Ed Agner)
First – I provide you
with a little glimpse at how things work around here. And this will be
funnier than anything I will be able to write about Fuad Reveiz. A
conversation Ed and I had… 
Rippa: Man - I should do
Fuad Reveiz just so I could see how many times I would spell it wrong
Ed: OOOO! I thought about
him
Ed: But my folks are
always watching his home fixit show when I'm over there
Rippa: WHAT?!?!?!?!?!!
Ed: Oh yeah
Rippa: Okay - I need info
on that and I am so writing that one now
Ed: Well here's this
Ed: But it has nothing
about his TV show
Rippa: See the TV show
has me fascinated now and I want to know if I get it on DirecTV
Ed: Oh yeah
Rippa: And the fact that
Jeff Gaylord got drafted in like the third round still makes me giggle
Ed: THE Jeff Gaylord?
Rippa: Unless there were
two who went to Missouri
Rippa: Or if the
wrestling one stole the football ones ID
Ed: Man, I will never
find that show now
Ed: Ooo! Ooo!
Ed: I knew it was on one
of those home improvement channels
Rippa: Of course - I have
never watched Dyi
Rippa: Oh that’s even
better
Ed: Me neither
Rippa: He had to have his
house redone
Ed: But my folks watch
the heck out of it
Rippa: So many potential
photos
Ed: I walked in once and
went - FUAD REVEIZ?!?!?!
Ed: And neither Mom nor
Dad knew who he was
Rippa: Hehehe
Ed: God damn, Fuad is a
busy man
Rippa: God - I think I
need to write the Dan McGwire one just because I still can’t get over
that Bill didn't know that it was Mark's brother
Ed: WHAT?
Ed: Oh and the name of
Fuad's show is Weekend Remodeling
Rippa: Hehehehe
Rippa: Okay - remember
when we were talking about who might be the worst brother tandem?
Ed: Right
Rippa: I some how brought
up Dan McGwire
Rippa: And Bill had no
idea that he was Mark's brother nor that he was drafted that high
Ed: HAH
Ed: God I bet I still
have a Dan McGwire draft pick card somewhere
Rippa: Let me know if you
do
Ed: God is Dan McGwire
not represented on the net at all
Rippa: Mark probably
asked that sites remove all references to him
Ed: Hehehehe
Ed: Oh yeah. Accuse him
of roiding is OK
Ed: But connecting him to
Dan is not
Ed: I am happy that I
found the Reveiz show though
Rippa: I am too
Ed: Almost as glad as
when I caught the folks watching it
Ed: I still can't believe
that Dad didn't know who he was
Ed: OK. This still isn't
solving my need for one more person on the ruin list
Rippa: I should save this
conversation. It could make up half the write up
Ed: Hehehehe
Ed: Sweet-sweet useless
DIY channel
Ed: I pop in on the folks
and they're usually asleep in their chairs with that channel on
Yes, we got that
excited about a remodeling show. Well and Amy Wynne.
Anyway, Fuad Reveiz was
what a kicker should be foreign (being from Colombia) with a funny name
that was impossible to spell. He even through in kicker for the
Dolphins and Vikings which were basically the Ellis Islands for kickers
(well, except Sebastian Janikowski. Poor Ed).
Reveiz still holds a
bunch of records at the University of Tennessee. This earned him a
selection in the 1985 draft. Mind you, it was in the 7th round by Miami
(when the draft was still 12 rounds). Not like Sebastian Janikowski who
was drafted in the first round. Aww… Poor Ed.
Most people reading this
will know of Fuad Reveiz for one reason. No, no, no – not because he
held the consecutive field goals made record for awhile. No, no, no –
not because he was an All-Pro in 1994. The reason is that Reveiz was in
the original Tecmo Bowl as the kicker for the Dolphins.
Now Fuad is a TV whore
with his home remodeling and his work on ESPN Desportes. He is in no
danger of being deported. Unlike Sebastian Janikowski. Aww… Poor Ed.
