Crossing Broad
We’ve been having a lot of fun with the memes ever since Kevin Patullo was promoted to offensive coordinator. We did lose a good paisan in T.J. Paganetti, but look at this group of coaches:

Brilliant stuff. You put some Italians in important positions and good things will happen, such as throttling the Chiefs in the Super Bowl. We’ve got “Nicky” Sirianni, Vic Fangool, Big Dom DiSandro, and now Kevin “Gabagool” Patullo.
The only problem is that Patullo is a Scottish name. That’s according to Google’s A.I., which scraped a bunch of sites and came up with this:
“No, “Patullo” is not considered an Italian name; it is primarily a Scottish surname originating from place names like Pittilloch in Fife and Perthshire, Scotland”
And from the Surname Database website:
“This ancient Scottish name is locational in origin, deriving from either of two places named Pittilloch, one near Freuchie in Fife and the other in Glenfarg, Perthshire. Both places are named with the ancient Pictish (pre 5th Century) element “peit”, portion of land, with the Gaelic term “tulach”, hill. The surname is well recorded in Scotland from the 13th Century on, most early forms remaining close to the placename… The modern surname can be found as Pat(t)ullo and Pat(t)illo. The marriage of John Pattullo and Janet Halket was recorded in Edinburgh on June 13th 1773. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Ade de Petillok, which was dated 1295.
Does this mean the memes are dead? No.
We just have to replace Kevin Patullo with this guy:
