Nobody thought of Pancho Sanza, Don Quixote's follower and helpmate?

That's what I was thinking. The deluded optimist.

Quixote was a befuddled old romantic fool. Nobody on the Patriots fits that description.

The name Pancho means 'man from France' or' one who is free'. This name is of Spanish origin and it is also used as a nickname for Frank or Francisco. Pancho is used for naming male children. It was made famous by a Mexican bandit who lived in the late 1800's.

One of my favorite sidekick names was the Lone Ranger's Tonto, which is Spanish for stupid.

Not a big fan of the play on the name Sancho Panza. Its too close Sanchez imo.

If we and his Patriot teammates are going to give Garappolo an ethnic name.. it really has to be something.. Italian!

Exactly. Bersagliere (bur-sa-lary) is Italian for "sharpshooter." I like that.

"Pancho Sanza"? Sidekick to Quon Dixote, perhaps?

He, however, was an eternal optimist. Can't beat that.

So Guacamole was at QB last night and Fauria called Halapio 'Jon Jalapeño' at least twice.

Someone must like Mexican food.

Further thoughts: Pancho Villa was not just a Mexican Revolutionary, he was also a great lover of women and attracted a great deal of women, bedding many of them in the process, and this may be the parallel that Mayo and his teammates see between Pancho and Garo- both of who seem to have a certain panache about them.

1) Don Quiote's "squire" was Sancho, not Pancho.

Other "Sancho"

2) Pancho's last words were, "Don't let it end like this. Tell them I said something."

I don't know why it's always "Grope" that rolls off my tongue, but I'd still prefer JAG.

You know you're an alpha male when you cop a feel on Miss Piggy in a picture.

Pancho was a bandit boys
His horse was fast as polished steel
Wore his gun outside his pants
For all the honest world to feel

Uh, clearly you are no expert on pig anatomy. His hands are directly over her teets. Unless you subscribe to the inane and debunked belief that Miss Piggy is some sort of Anthropomorphic pig/human combo with human-like breasts and if so you and I are going to have words at MuppetCon 2016.

In as many words you are accusing the dearly departed Christopher Reeve of bestiality. For shame.

Frank Oz, the man who voiced Miss Piggy, compared her to a "truck driver who wants to be a woman."

Touching a boob does not constitute sex. I hope this information does not cause a shock or a change in virginity status for you.

Look, you denied Miss Piggy's rather obvious human hybrid attributes while praising Mr. Reeve for "copping a feel." I just hope nobody under age 10 is reading this thread.
