Jimmy Johnson: Smilin' Sonuvabitch On The Prowl

Okay, he's not really prowling. But JJ definitely does attract a certain type of woman. The type of woman you'll find at "JJ's Big Chill." [Don Chavez]

It's Good To Be Jimmy Johnson

On a lazy Friday afternoon, we present to you, apropos of nothing, a montage of Jimmy Johnson looking ridiculous.

We actually like Johnson, mainly because he has the feel of a guy that escaped the world of coaching right about the time it became a grueling exercise in destroying one's own life. Johnson couldn't seem more different than Eric Mangini; we can't imagine him staying up later than 11 p.m. watching game film if he tried. If we had won a few Super Bowls, we'd do the exact same thing: Spend our life floating around on a boat, getting a tan and collecting checks from FOX for putting up with Howie Long. There are worse gigs.

You Can't Tell, But Howie Long Is Erect

If we know our average Deadspin reader, you were obviously watching "Fox & Friends" on the Fox News Channel this morning. But just in case ... Richard Simmons was hanging out with the FOX NFL Sunday crew. Finally, someone who makes Jimmy Johnson look well dressed, and Terry Bradshaw look less gay. If you look close, you can see Curt Menefee wondering what the hell he got himself into.

I'd have warned you about the profanity in there, but this video is too awesome for me to have dissuaded you in any way from watching it. I think my favorite part is when the child, around the 1:40 mark, is desperate for some fatherly affection; some sort of sign that indicates that there's a small part of daddy that still loves his son, and isn't solely filled with murderous bile for Jimmy Johnson.

It's not coming. It all just remains fuckin' bullshit.

It's Good To Be Jimmy Johnson

Every year or so, former Cowboys and Dolphins coach Jimmy Johnson is forced to deny rumors that he's returning to coaching, usually with some sort of "I'm having too much fun relaxing on my boat!" response that does little to squash talk.

But if this photo, along with the three after the jump, proves that Jimmy is indeed having fun. If we were having this much shirtless fun, we wouldn't want to oversee two-a-days either.

By the way, the final photo is our favorite. He's like a leprechaun!

(UPDATE: We're told one of the guys in these photos is Jim Mandich, former Dolphins color guy and a "real character.")

(SECOND UPDATE: This appears to be Johnson's personal Webshots album.)

It's Never The Crime, It's Always The Coverup ...

We know football season is five months off, but it may take that long to unravel this mystery. At the risk of going all CSI: Crime Scene Investigation on you, we present the photo above, sent in from a reader with the following note attached:

My brother was working the sidelines at the Seahawks-Panthers game and took this picture of Jimmy Johnson. Based on the "flap" at the base of his neck, does that mean he wears a wig? If so, I never gave that a thought - did I miss something??

We know that Johnson was sporting that spiky-hair look on Fox broadcasts around that time; could that be his real hair, and his trademark puffy boufant a wig? What the hell is beneath that flap? And what is that little line that appears to be a cord of some sort? Is Jimmy's hair remote controlled? Is Johnson really bald, with an array of hairpieces in his dressing room like Alan Brady on the Dick Van Dyke Show? This could generate more controversy than the George W. Bush debate photos.
