Chris Myers, International Man Of Mystery
*looks around*
*takes off face mask*
Chris Myers: Infiltrating Qatar's national falconry team has been harder than I thought it would. Especially with how hard it is to breathe under this mask. The CIA did a great job getting me here, keeping me undercover by giving me a job no one expects a spy to have: a vacationing football player. But my time is running out, and I need to find those chemical weapons facilities before all is lost.
Falconer: (Hey rookie, get over here, I want to see your skills.)*
*-in Arabic
*quickly puts mask back on*
Myers: Okay coach! Oops, I mean, (okay coach!)
Falconer: (Is something wrong? Your face looks a little flat.)
Myers: (No, no, I'm fine. Just...desert fever. Yes, that'll do. What is it coach?)
Falconer: (Well, I hear your bird is quite an impressive specimen. Can I see it in action?)
Myers: (Sure, here he is. They call him the) Gamecock Ballhawk!
Fred Bennett: 'Sup y'all.
Falconer: (That's a weird looking bird. Is it ash-shahain? Al-sinyari?)
Bennett: You lookin down on me? I'm the Gamecock Ballhawk! I trained for months for this. I'm ready. You'll all see that I can still play!
Myers: As a falcon.
Bennett: Right, right dawg. As a falcon.
*Assumes pre-snap stance*
Falconer: (You talk to him in English?)
Myers: (It's the only language he understands.)
Falconer: (Ah. Well then, tell him that this pigeon is his first target.)
*releases pigeon*
*soars majestically*
Myers: Bennett! Catch that bird!
*backpedals 20 yards, stands still, staring at the Falconer, as the pigeon flies over his head*
Myers: Uh, Fred. You're supposed to chase the bird. What are you standing there for?
Bennett: Oh! Damn, sorry. I thought we was playin' zone coverage.
Myers: ...when the ball goes over your head in zone coverage, aren't you supposed to run after it?
Bennett: Texans zone coverage.
Myers: Ah.
Falconer: (That was horrendous. If you want to make the team, your bird needs a lot more work. I've trained chipmunks to catch better than that. And considering I live in Qatar, where there are no chipmunks, well, you see where I'm going with this.)
Myers: (He's just a little rusty. He hasn't been getting much action lately.)
Falconer: (Not breeding him should make him go faster. I'm not quite sure how I understood that connotation of action though. Seems like the kind of phrase that shouldn't carry over to Arabic.)
Myers: (Don't worry, it's all just a weird part of how the world works. Sort of like how I can't help saying my secret purpose aloud. Erm, I mean, yeah, Bennett just needs to get off the benc...performs worse when he's not breeding.)
Bennett: Hell yeah. Where the women at? Erryone in a dress. it's hard to tell. Now c'mon, gimme somethin' else. I need to redeem myself!
Myers: (Give him something easier, he needs to start off slow.)
*releases a rabbit*
*hops slowly towards Bennett*
*backpedals 8 yards, continues to look at the Falconer*
Myers: Bennett, it's a run play! Don't lose contain!
Bennett (loudly): Contain? What the hell is that?
*starts scampering around faster, scared by Bennett's loud voice, then runs right by him*
Bennett (shouting): Aw, it's on now little man! I'm gonna catch you!
*chases the rabbit around in circles*
*continues to be scared by Bennett's loud voice, runs closer to Myers and The Falconer*
Bennett (shouting): I got you! I got you! Cornered. No way you can make it out Rock and hard place, baby.
*jumps at Myers, who falls down immediately, then runs right over him.*
*trips on Myers' face mask, knocking it off, then falls to the ground as the rabbit scurries away*
Falconer: (INFIDELS!)
Myers: I knew I should've picked Brent Grimes. Ugh...

Wow.
Absolutely fucking genius, Rivers. I love it.
I'll eliminate you like I eliminate gluten from my diet.

Same way he fits in with the current Texans.
i.e. he doesn’t.

Big time pressure on a big time fake scenario writer.

MDC if you'd like to do some sort of sequential trade off on this
I’d be delighted.
Don’t feel pressured into it if you don’t want to though.

I could definitely be persuaded.
By which I mean “shit, yeah, I’m in.”
I always assumed "You're The Reason God Made Oklahoma" would be some sort of country music diss track. Live and learn, I guess.
Huge REC for this:
Falconer: (Not breeding him should make him go faster. I’m not quite sure how I understood that connotation of action though. Seems like the kind of phrase that shouldn’t carry over to Arabic.)
If the Treasury Secretary doesn't have to pay taxes, then why do I?
I challenge you
To write something about Bennett and Myers without drinking.
