What On Earth Is Norv Turner Saying?

I’m not master of lip-readistry, but there was an interesting close-up of San Diego Chargers head coach Norv Turner during his team’s game against the Oakland Raiders on Monday Night Football.

It’s anybody’s guess what is actually being said here, but I’ll give it the old college try, if you’ll indulge me.

- WALTER FRENCH

- WALTZ THAT FIRE

- WORSE THAN FRIENDS (not a fan of Must-See TV, I guess)

- WORTHLESS FUDGE

- WANT THAT FUDGE?

- WRENCH THAT FLANGE (possibly a technical term)

- WORK THAT, FAVRE

I guess we’ll never know what ol Norvert was trying to get across. Whatever it was, it seemed important. Maybe he’ll let us know during the post-game press conference. Best of luck, Norv! Hope you get that worthless fudge or whatever it was you wanted.
