Patriots=state, Saints=church. Ah, I get it. I get jokes.
Ah.
This past Sunday, I’m watching the Sunday night game.
Jared Allen (#69, DE for MIN) sacks Curt Warner.
Al Micheals says “…sooner or later, number 69 will be in your face”.
I swear, it sounded like they cut all audio from the booth for about five seconds.
Nitpick: the Vikings did not sack Kurt Warner last night. That said, I’m pretty sure Allen wears 69 just to elicit those comments.
I assume it’s because they took there headsets off and had a good laugh about it.
UCLA a few years ago had two borthers on their defense named ball. I remember listening to the radio when I heard this, “Her comes the pressure and they get to him, it’s a two Ball sack!”
I think he had been waiting for that one.
Last night Packers-Ravens game, announcers going on how Flacco looked so great in pre-game practice.
“I tell you, he was really stroking it”
“…”
Somehow I suspect that didn’t come out quite as he had meant…
Same Monday Night game, somebody updated Aaron Rodger’s running-for-first-down stat after he scrambled out of the pocket and threw for a first down.
(Speaking of stroking, the sheer amount of stroking they were doing for certain players was embarrassing - Aaron Rodgers, Clay Matthews, BJ Raji, Haloti Ngata, probably some more, but I start to use my 15-second jump forward button alot.)
I heard that too as I was walking back into the room. I was thinking, “wow, must have been a great run if they are still talking about it during a replay of the next play.”
It was Tirico I think.
