INT. PATRIOTS TRAINING FACILITY – 9 A.M. – SATURDAY
Patriots Director of Player Personnel NICK CASERIO is hard at work in a conference room. He glances up as the regular crowd of players shuffles into the training facility to begin their entirely “voluntary” offseason workouts. There is an old man – BILL BELICHICK – standing next to him, peering grumpily at the gigantic monitor on the far side of the room that is displaying footage of one of their draft prospects.
BELICHICK: grumble grumble son run that last play again grumble grumble I’m not really sure what happened there grumble grumble but it looked like a set of verticals the Steelers used to run a lot grumble grumble back when I was coaching in Cleveland grumble grumble
CASERIO: [humming to himself as he cues up the projector]: La la la, di da da…La la, di da da da dum…
BELICHICK: grumble grumble now Graham at USC is a friend of mine grumble grumble he got my girlfriends’ kids into college for free grumble grumble
CASERIO: Oh, I know him, the offensive coordinator. His quarterbacks are quick with their release and for years his linemen have gotten away smearing their jerseys with grease – I hear that he’s tired of working at the college level.

GREG SCHIANO: Bill, I believe this is killing me.
CASERIO: What, the MRSA that’s eating your face?
SCHIANO: [glares at him] Coaching. I don’t mind making the players bust their asses until they are facing a visit from Uncle Rhrabdo, but I didn’t think it was going to apply to us coaches too. My wife has been whining nonstop about how I’m not spending enough time with my pissant kids. I got a call from a radio station – KDFO, in Los Angeles – and they’re giving me a chance to host a show called “Request Line”.
CASERIO: You’re gonna give up coaching for the world champion New England Patriots just to work the phones at some radio gig?
SCHIANO: Los Angeles is one of the biggest media markets in the world, if not the biggest.
CASERIO: Yeah, for movies and television. And baseball, and basketball, when the Lakers don’t suck ass. That city doesn’t give two shits about football, and never will.
SCHIANO: Whatever. It’s a foot in the door. Tony Romo’s gonna get ten million a year just for calling out formations. I’m sure that I can be a radio star.
CASERIO: So you’re leaving?
SCHIANO: [nods] I’m gettin’ out of this place. Thanks for the opportunity, Bill. I’ll see you at Super Bowl LVI.
GREG SCHIANO leaves.
BELICHICK: [has not looked away from the screen the entire time] grumble grumble okay that’s enough drama for today I’ll just coordinate the defense myself grumble grumble let’s get back to the tape grumble grumble

Today’s topic is PIANO MEN! Pick songs where a piano is featured prominently. To keep anyone from getting carried away, let’s put a cap of ten songs per commenter. I’ll get us started with the song implied by the post title, which is still a classic and will always remain so.

I could post 10 songs by Tori Amos, but instead I will post my favorite.
“If you know me so well then tell me which had I use”

It’s like I don’t know you people anymore…
How can this song not be picked already?

That was my next pick.
If I were Jackson Browne, and I am, I’d be insulted.
He can get in line behind John Tesh and H Jon Benjamin
4. This feels like too obvious an oversight not to remedy

Much like a newcomer wandering on to the set of blacked.com, LSU is having difficulty dealing with MSU’s length.
So obvious. And yet still on the board.
