The Strouds basically dictating the whole season script by antagonizing the scriptwriter has been fantastic. Love it!
😂🤣
We are Stroud
Bullies!
Antagonizing? No.
_Terrifying?_ Yes.😈
@@tigcarn big bullies for sure!! 🤣
“Neither did 70”
“What”
“You’ll see” absolutely beautiful Tom
no one knows what was said. There were three lineman in his face. The cowboys were told 70 was eligible....
@@JohnAnderson-ze2huhe was no where near the ref watch again
The NFL punished the refs so that tells everyone the ref's messed up big because the NFL never disciplines their script enforcers 🤣🤣🤣
@@insertnamehere313 it's not enough punishment. It's the same slap on the wrist they give every year.
They weren't even criticizing the play call just simply referencing toms COMEDY script. Campbell and the team have put it in the past time we do it to. - a Lions fan@@JohnAnderson-ze2hu
Drunken ranting until the Texans...excuse me, Strouds, arrive and boom! Instant sobriety. Magnificent.
Yes!! 😂😂😂
So who calls them the strouds?
@@Stevenironsit’s kind of an ongoing gag for Texans fans at this point where CJ Stroud is basically the whole identity of their team because he’s basically the greatest thing they’ve ever gotten
@@kinjr04 it's not really funny imo. JJ was better, Desuan in the beginning was better, they seem to be caught up in the moment and that's sad
@@Stevenirons It started back on Week 9 when the writer told the Texans C.J. Stroud was gonna play like a God. That was the starting point for this.
As a lions fan, this is the first piece of media I've watched since Saturday that hasn't made me want to rip my hair out and actually made me laugh. Thanks, Tom.
Relax, no need to TRIP 😂
@@alexanderjackson8389bahahahaha!! Funny they conveniently have amnesia about that play huh?
Facts. We haven't tangled with our truest rivals: Zebras
@@curtisclayton8023Remember when the Tigers threw at the home plate ump. Hmmm? Do I see large armored Lion "accidentally" running down a zebra?
Same with the Eagles for me
Hopefully the script writer learned his lesson on not to mess with the Strouds
Hear me out, but what if, hypothetically speaking, the "Strouds" lose to the Colts? What dark, twisted nightmare would the "Strouds" embark upon us?
@@tylerkloever4442 we probably won’t see the script writer anymore for starters
@@rubencardenas9384the Strouds will walk in wearing the script writers robe next week if this happens!😂😂
@@tylerkloever4442the scriptwriter would have his suicide note if that happened
Should Colts beat the Texans... in prime time... it would be a perfect case of "And it looks like Strouds are the Texans after all."
Week 7: Scriptwriter freaks out
Week 17: Scriptwriter gets drunk and goes MENTALLY INSANE
The Bears bit made me laugh.
Eagles: "Does this mean we win?"
Scriptwriter: Nope! Still lose! It's genius!
best series on youtube
I’m scared for Tom’s mental health😂
Drunk script writer is scarily like Jack Sparrow and I love it!
There is no Jack Sparrow in a Tom Grossi production. Only Captain Finn Oakley.
Captain Jack Sparrow.

In real life, lions eat zebras. What we saw in Dallas on Saturday is how the zebras get their retribution on the lions.

Real
eh i mean it was indeed an illegal formation, not to mention the tripping call that happened on our last drive…
Why does the largest of the coaches simply not eat the rest of the league
@@Luingiit was a legal formation
Can we all appreciate that the Colts, Jags, and Strouds have all been competitive this year? I don't think anyone expected the script writer's twists.
Yeah, as a Colts fan I'm so proud of our division
I find it funny that when the Titans fell from the 1 seed two years ago to being the only team in AFC South to suck suck
lol and the patriots are suffering
And the Colts and Texans went from a top 3 draft pick to pottensial winning afc south and Unlike last year wheb thry finished strong the jsgs are finishing slow@@dregen3586
@@dregen3586they weren’t a great 1 seed
Grossi, the subtle pan to the Browns when the script writer talks about throwing drinks is genius! Never forget bottlegate!!!!
I didn't catch that reference the first time. Thank you for pointing it out.
He also may have been playing on Tepper's antics.
Nice twofer!
That's what I thought!@@mathewfullerton8577
@@mathewfullerton8577both involving the Jaguars, which is even more funny to me
Give Tom ALL the awards.
Also, this episode may be the best yet 🔥
Agreed!!! This would make much more sense if it were how the week of games actually went. I'd be at least able to say, well, it sucks, but, the guy WAS drunk. lol.
I don’t think anything can top the Strouds blowing up the moon.
Strouds just sober Script Writer with a few seconds of staring and words. They really are powerful.
The Strouds look at Script Writer like my dad looks at me every time he sees me: angry and disappointed.
Also asks me “Are you done?” 9/10 times after I’ve finished speaking.. 😅
It’s that hit of adrenaline the brain gets when experiencing fear….
Counteracts alcohol nicely.
He wrote the entire Browns script before the season started. A massive book. War and Peace type shit. Brilliant character development. Lots of twists and turns. The thing of genius.
And then he remembered he had to write 31 other teams but he already wrote the story.
“Miami uh… 70 points on the broncos. You’re a top 2 afc team. Oh, except you’re gonna get blown out by the Ravens. I need Flacco to face the Ravens in the playoffs. I already wrote that storyline. And if I’m gonna have the Browns win I need the Chiefs to fall apart… hm… oh! I’ll just have Patrick melt down on National TV and have all his receivers just be awful out of nowhere.”
As a colts fan we’re just happy to get recognition
I came here to say this, but knew in my heart it had already been said
Yea but it’s not enough now that we have a taste… we will win this Saturday watch!😈
@@laribol3127 no, you’re gonna lose. The 1 year turn around w/ a rookie coach & the Strouds is too good a story for the script writer to pass on…
@@neilish13as good as the one year turnaround with a rookie head coach and a backup QB?
@@neilish131 year turnaround with a rookie HC and gardner minshew though
Tom Grossi is the only guy than make a video by himself doing jersey swaps and still make it so intriguing... Never know what to expect week in and week out...
I just want to make a correction. Tom actually uses his clones in the video it's saves him time swapping out of jerseys
He so funny
Bears fan ending with the bird had me in tears😂
Honestly respect the Strouds for calling out script writer’s booze bag-ness this week and forcing him to get it together 🤘🏻😆
The scripted series never gets old! Hopefully it will continue next season too
i want to see the strouds become absolutely unhinged
They haven’t been?
We don't have a moon anymore
"Benched at half! *Blows smoke off pistol" Had me squirting water through my nose! 😆
The way Tom sold the "shocker" line deserves an Oscar
As a 'Strouds' fan, in my first season being into the NFL, im so nervous for the Colts game, 1:15am is killer though.
as a Colts fan I am TERRIFIED for that game, also hello fellow eurogang!!!
@@stereax_nj As another Colts fan, why is it that it is always a dog fight between us and the Strouds? :(
@@ItBePatYo Cause it's all too often us Jags Vs the Titans to see who collapses harder, leaving you two actually looking like gutsy, promising contenders...
as a STROUD, Thank you for this year Tom!! its been hilarious
edit: thank you fellow STROUDS for correcting me
Texans?
Do you mean the strouds?
@@meechiiee2215Stroud Boys!
😐 There is no Texans, only Stroud.
@@Jarock316 Stroud Boys for life! Better than the Cowboys.
What a charcter arc for the Strouds, ya love to see personal growth like that
LOVE the Jamaal Charles shout out! He deserves so much more love and an induction in the HOF
Fr tho one of the best to ever wear a KC jersey!!
Oh, So the Cardinals beating the Eagles was because the Script Writer was drunk? Don’t do Drunk, kids.
I think the coaches may have been a little drunk too, after seeing some of those plays they called.
Shit.. that might be it. The coordinators have all been drunk calling plays this season!
@@brookeb452 I know, right? It’s like, All the bars were sold out that game cause of the coordinators when it came to halftime.
"Don't do drunk kids" and "Don't do drunk, kids" have completely different meanings
@@StephenH1 You know that’s not what I meant! Get your mind out of the gutter
Also explains the ending to the Lions vs Ciwboys game.
As a Bears fan, 100% on point. Getting the #1 pick and knocking the Packers out of the playoffs would make this season a success.
If we actually beat them this week packer fans aren't going to hear end of it for while 😂
No the script writer just predicted the Bear's are winning lol.
Season's already been a success. one season to the next we doubled our wins
Im so sorry Detroit...
-Everyone with 2 eyeballs watching that monstrosity of an ending
I mean even if the ending did go as expected, both teams were pretty equal. Plus he still had 30 seconds to get into field goal range. I think he coulda done it
@@gradeftt123520 seconds and 1 timeout, but yes there was still an attempt to be made.
Nah miss me with that. Game would have never even gotten to that point had the refs call tripping on the right team. Get mad about that one too if you are going to complain
Shoulda never got that far. They called a tripping on Dallas when it clearly was the lions. Would have killed the clock. But it don't fit the cowboy hating neritive.
@gradeftt1235 I’m a cowboys fan and I know we cannot drive down the field worth a crap so I don’t really think so
How bad will Tom feel if his Bears prediction come to light next week.
He'll have 2010 when Bears let them just to beat in the NFC championship game then win the SB he'll be alright 😀
As a commanders fan I would like to thank the script writer. Although he hasn't always been kind to us this year, I must applaud him on the Cardinals storyline. Pure genius. And that win moving us up to the second overall pick? Brilliant!
Loved how it cut to the Browns when the script writer said “if I had a drink I’d throw it in your face”
This week 18 matchup between the colts and the texans is so electric. Both teams coming in hard with a rookie HC 1 year after playing against each other in week 18 last season, winner gets into the playoffs and could even take the AFCS, the game might even decide who wins COTY between Steichen and Demeco. Wonderful writing.
As a rams fan I want to thank the scriptwriter for sending the rams to playoffs but my heart was beating so fast and if a game like this week’s happens in the playoffs my heart might beat faster than the speed of light
No character in the lore remains too powerful for long. Blood Demon (Steelers), Ref (Packers), and now even Script Writer (Strouds) are all under the thumb of a team. The internal dynamics of this universe are more interesting than any storyline in the NFL 😂
actually the new videos show that blood demon has transferred over to the browns 🤓

Great job Tom. This one was awesome! (From a Lions fan)
This was Brilliant! I love the Browns just sitting there looking like a kid listening to his alcoholic dad argue with his mom. And the whole thing with the Lions was beautiful! Best NFL scriptwriting yet, despite the Lions being cheated.
I love that the Strouds have been the schoolyard psycho just going after the writer. Brilliant writing on your part Mr. Grossi!!!
Lions fan here - that was brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! Nice work Tom - Happy New Year! F*** the Refs!
One of your best performances as script writer.
Well done 👏

The best scripted episode yet, Tom. Great job, really enjoyed that
Neither rain nor snow nor New Year's day hangovers can stop Tom from the swift completion of his appointed rounds. Thank you for all you do. 🎆🎆🎆
The Bears show up to a meeting after so long, and they get something positive. Maybe, we should show up more often.
Idk why this Strouds/Texans thing started, but I don’t ever want it to end 🤣🤣
If you are going to be mad at the 2 point call you have to be just as mad at the horrible tripping call.
It's honestly making me want to root against the Lions now. Dallas got screwed over just as much and the play the Lions get "screwed" on the Lions were trying to be underhanded and confuse everyone anyway. With all this reaction, at this point I say Lions deserve it.
Thank you for giving us the #1 pick two years in a row :D
This whole series is a gem! Drunk script writer was amazing!
“No cmon plea-“
“Nope, your screwed.”

I’m a simple man, I see a Tom Grossi upload, I thumbs up it. 👍
Absolute genius. I absolutely love the strouds arc in the script writer series😂
Love the videos Tom. Happy New Year. Can’t not wait for what week 18 brings. 🎉
Tom needs to be in charge of writing some TV series because he only makes gold with these types of things
💯🖐
Bryce Young's jersey is a youth's medium! I love it! So many Easter eggs, great work Tom! Happy New Year Scriptwriter 🥂🎉

Happy New Year!
This entire series has truly been genius
The strouds always funny to see in these skits, well done man.
The genius here is that this episode works well by itself, but is masterful in its congruency with the series.
Tom, I'm gonna miss the division series, but can you keep this one next year? It's funny and I love it. 😊
I love it. wonderful job tom and Happy New Years!! :D
The only thing that could've made that better is if Ron Simmons showed up after the exchange with the Strouds, and looked at script writer and said, "DAMN!"
The Stroud storyline is perfection, absolutely awesome!!! This is so funny and I'm loving it! Go texans!
I knew the script writer was drunk
omfg I wanna go get a drink with Tom next time he's around lol
Kinda glad I missed the Lions game ! Didn’t even know it was Saturday night was watching the Pistons finally win!
Happy New Year Tom, I’ve loved watching this season unfold with you and Perna
Please let there be the Cowboys and Refs being best friends lol
Ya right. Most penalized team. Never win or get any calls are way in the playoffs........ If the cowboys and refs were tight then we would win meaningful games
Tripping call
If the refs were our friends we'd have made it past the divisional round in 2014.
The only reason the Lions had that chance at the end was because of that tripping call on the Cowboys which clearly show it should of been called on the Lions.
Happy New Year TOM! One thing. I would like to point out that the Dolphins did not lose. They were Demolished. Destroyed. Decimated. Dismantled. Disemboweled. So uhm, yeah. Uhh, Ravens fan here. Jackson-5 baby!!!
The patriots bills game was also very bizarre…opening kickoff taken for TD, pats offense turns the ball over 4 times in the first 20 mins, yet somehow is still in the game because bills had negative passing yards for most of the first half.
i love that he sobers up when strouds walks in.
The Strouds scaring the shit out of the script writer is still funny AF.
I'm afraid to see what happens if the Strouds don't win the Super Bowl. 😅
Happy New Year, Tom and crew! 🎉
Best series ever. Keep them coming. Clever all year long, and just great!
lol the way the Colts agreed 🤣 love it
Go Colts !!!
As a Texans/Strouds fan, never gets old that the scriptwriter never fails to made me laugh that he's still scared at Texans/Strouds.
I wonder WHAT IF the Texans/Strouds will do if they DID lose to the Titans? He might blow up the meeting session with tons of fireworks as all of the NFL fans and Scriptwriter leave the house. 😂
I'm more interested in seeing what happens if the Texans lose to the Colts next week 🤣🤣🤣
@@willnewsome4781 If the Texans did happen to lose against the Colts next week, I guess is that the Texans/Strouds will send a nuke to the scriptwriter along with the other NFL fans. 😂
@@ReyKaz25 Here's hoping the they lose and we find out lol
“Here’s the kicker” -> I see what you did there…. 😂
I've been re-watching 30 in 30 tonight and literally just finished the Charlotte episode where Tom says he's not gonna make any jersey jokes about Young.... then I watch this and he makes the joke. Perfect timing, lol.
Staffords Rams vs Goffs Lions?
Hills Dolphins vs the Chiefs?
Cj Strouds Texans vs (formerly Watson’s) Browns?!?
Packers vs McCarthys Cowboys?
Script writer having a field day.
You know what, the last thing anyone should do is upset a Lion... Enough said, hope the other teams are prepared for the playoffs. Hope you got your knee pads, cause they're aiming for all the kneecaps
They certainly got TJ Hockenson's, and he used to play for them.
Dorothy paid no consequence.
Thank goodness nothing went BOOM this week.. we really appreciate you Strouds.. I think my wife baked some nice cookies, would you want some????
I thought it was very clever that you had the 49ers playing the Washington Commanders in the first half and the Washington Generals in the second half.
Tom you are such a great guy!! P.S. Lions fans have had ENOUGH and we are ready to do whatever it take to EXPOSE the cheating. We will NOT let it GO this time. It isn't just about us, but about every fanbase that has been screwed by the @NFL . The WWE at least admits it is scripted.
It's not the cheating. It's the lack of entertainment factor in their application of avarice. The refs straight tackled Lamar Jackson for a safety. That was undeniable and highly entertaining. Myles Garrett couldn't get holding in a brothel. Need a ref to sack Goff.
That play is going to make "Greatest blown plays" compilation videos for the next 50 years. The good news virtually every fan from a team not making the playoffs is going to be rooting for you.
Cheating? Ahem TRIPPING PENALTY. Also the NFL has zero reason to script
Please let the colts get some more screen time 😂
thumbs up for the Jamaal Charles love, glad someone besides Chiefs fans appreciated his greatness
Was cracking up the whole time. Great video!!
As an eagles fan, i hope we get first rounded so that literally everyone gets fired
Most sane Eagles fan
As a cowboys fan I hope this happens except for everyone getting fired
Not really a fan then are you? Maybe a needy person wanting your negativity to be endorsed so that you don't feel so bad about yourself?
@@robe2504nah. Nick paper scissors flowers is the weakest link in the league. The players have been making insane spectacular plays regularly for three years. They couldn't scheme open a wet paper bag. The players are doing too much. Go beat a defense when blind toddlers can see you plays coming. Whenever casual observers can call all of your plays as you run them, opposing defenses know the plays too.
Nick Siriani looks like a drunk playing video games after trying hard drugs.
Every opposing quarterback looks like Joe Montana with Bill Walsh. The defense couldn't contain a prepositional phrase.
@@robe2504 quit your yapping boy
It'd be cool to see the Bills kiss up to the script writer to see what they get. I'm wondering what would happen if scrip writer and the refs did a behind the scene thing, it would explain why the league is what it is, no?
I love this series absolute genius and good writing Tom.
This was amazing. Quite possibly the most entertaining one yet (they all are entertaining).
Let’s go refs team!!!

The NFL is scripted, although not always. Depending on Vegas lines and bets between the owners, some games are real.
Mhm yeah sure totally
I can see why you would think that, being a Panthers fan lol. Honestly, rigged? Sure, I'd accept that. But there being an actual script for how every play in every game turns out? The amount of rehearsal it would take to pull that off for 18 weeks would make Broadway actors tremble.
There's a difference between "scripted," "rigged," and "fixed."
Rigged: includes point shaving and manipulating penalties to keep a score closer than it should be for betting lines;
Fixed: the overall outcome of a game is predetermined;
Scripted: the events in a game are known in advance -- eg: "team A goes up, then team B takes the lead, then team A wins on a miraculous final play."
Rigging is common and becoming more common with the way people now can bet on games with sliding lines in real time. Fixing is rare, but does occur, usually for some monumental reason. Scripted is a canard used by people trying to deflect that games are frequently rigged and occasionally fixed.
You would need every player, coach, and owner involved to script.
You only need a select few involved to fix.
You only need the refs to rig.
@@blindjustice8718 wheres the evidence for fixing or even rigging
@@freddiesimmons1394 There's plenty of it, actually. But you need to know the history of pro football. In fact, the first time I read about games being fixed was in a book published by the Pro Football Hall of Fame. You start putting the pieces together and you'll see the NFL has been rigging and fixing games since 1920. They had to crack down on players throwing games after 1958 and that continued up til free agency removed the ability of bookies to buy off players. At that point the NFL gained the complete ability to control its product without a player undermining results.
I mean, the federal government had a task force that looked into players throwing games (you can only ensure failure). Keep in mind this is during the 60s and 70s -- sports betting as we know it was illegal. A lot of the books were local and not run in Vegas (ties to Vegas, yes; run directly in Vegas, no). Now, think for a hot second: why would the federal government have a task force to ensure an *illegal* operation was on the up-and-up if 1) players weren't throwing games to alter outcomes; and 2) the NFL wasn't working towards certain outcomes?
You also have to know the NFL had to meet certain congressional standards for the merger to occur in 1970 -- and then be granted immunity from anti-trust laws since it was now a monopoly.
In short, the NFL *has* to control it's product. You cannot both control your product *and* let things "just happen." The NFL has over 100 years of experience doing just that. Pro football goes back at least to 1906 in-so-far as manipulating games to improve revenue.
People who say the NFL is rigged or fixed or scripted generally don't understand the ins and outs. They just see something and see it's off. But they also don't even know what constitutes holding or pass interference beyond whining "the other team did something that looked like a penalty and didn't get called, so the fix is in."
For instance, last year's SB, everyone cries about the refs wanting KC to win. The game was being rigged, but their bias didn't allow them to see how it was really being rigged. It was Philadelphia getting a bulk of non-calls and even a catch-move-fumble overturned in their favor to keep them in the game.
The first year that live, in-game betting was introduced, every divisional, championship, and Superbowl game came down to 3 points at the end of regulation or O/T. That's pretty coincidental, to put it mildly. Vegas didn't lose on a single one of them. It wasn't about which team won or lost. It was about maintaining even action so their natural payout schedules worked to the house's advantage.
Did you know the year KC lost to the Bengals in the playoffs, KC was up big at halftime and someone placed a "sure-money" million dollar bet the Chiefs would win? I mean, the payout was only $20K on $1 mil, but a free 20K is a free 20K. But you know there were a ton of people lining up for free money besides that guy.
So what? Well, last year when the Chargers were up 27-0 on the Jags, guess what happened? Right. Someone placed a million+ sure-money bet the Chargers would win. And a bunch of other somebody's made that same wager with lesser amounts.
How'd that turn out again?
I was talking about the long history of rigging games with a guy at the bar. The Browns/Ravens game was on. Out of market. No one really cared. It was towards the end. Pretty much out of reach. Browns had the ball. The guy goes, "This one's over, unless it's rigged."
I replied, "We'll know if Cleveland throws an interception."
The very next play, no QB/WR miscommunication. It wasn't a bad throw or the receiver went in when he should have gone out. No, the ball was simply thrown right to the DB. Hit him in the face and fell incomplete. The guy looks at me. "How did you know?"
At the end of the day, enjoy the games for what they are. Entertainment. Don't get up too high if your team wins. Don't get down too low if your team loses. But most of all, never bet on anything you don't control.

I feel like we could have a whole story arch with the scriptwriter, I know you could do it Tom
Tom Grossi you are just a blessing your acting is so perfect
I’m doing 5 push-ups for every like on this comment
This might be the best drunk with power protrail I’ve ever seen! Tom your acting is outstanding keep up the amazing work!
Love your video, Tom, and keep up the great work
Happy new year. Keep it up Tom
Most the Panthers have been in one of these and it’s golden. Grossi has been the best thing about this year.
easily.
As a Lions fan I'm honestly terrified of Chicago next year. The NFC North is going to be tough in 2024
Literally the best one yet Tom!! Well done
At this rate, if the Lions don't AT LEAST get to the NFC Championship, I expect them to be in cahoots with the Strouds next year.
Also, going to the Browns at 1:25 is just AMAZING writing. If you know, you know.
