...wine and simultaneously yelling "Bam!" The network's newest show lands Bobby Flay--a guy's guy of a chef--outdoors in the Hamptons (the Hamptons!) with an annoyingly coy female comic (female!) and a weekly guest. The first week's guest was Inside the NFL host Nick Buoniconti, which saved the waning testosterone level...
...ball instead of throwing it, but all I could see was how quickly he let go of it, and how tremendous his peripheral vision seemed to be.

If Buoniconti was out of position, a "1" for "missed man" or an "m" for "missed assignment" was recorded on a large tally sheet. A good play was noted with...
