Last week, the viewing public was given the treat of Jon Gruden’s personal protein shake show.

Now, it’s burger time.

While Jon Gruden and Mike Tirico didn’t make burgers (unfortunately), the fact that both starting quarterbacks had last names that ended in “berger” was too juicy a target for Gruden and the MNF crew.

BECAUSE “-BERGER” IS LIKE BURGER.

Seriously.
