Speaking of NFLN…
Beyond even the bizarre personnel choices Timberland Work Boots made by the NFL Network, my biggest pet peeve with what is otherwise an awesome channel is that they are apparently edited by someone who is unfamiliar with general rules of punctuation.
Can they please just stop trying to be hip by Cheap Abercrombie discussing fantasy football? It’s a waste of time and effort to allow them to bother to tell me “Start ‘Em: A. Peterson, MIN” and “Sit ‘Em: A. Smith, SF.” Are there actually people out there who find this helpful or insightful? Because, if so, I want to join a league with those people.
Tres.
Here’s a cool bit of coincidence for you: Mario Williams had as many sacks yesterday (3) as Vince Young had turnovers. He also had as many nba jerseys sacks as Young had quarters played. He ALSO had as many sacks as Young has fumbles in 2010. The 23 yards lost on Williams’ three sacks were more than Tennessee had on any offensive play while Young was at QB, and the 14 yards lost on Williams’ third sack were more than Tennessee had on all but two plays while Young was under center.
Left-to-right, top-to-bottom.
It’s really sad, but I am fairly certain that Dan Fouts cannot read and cannot recognize numbers. How else do you explain how Fouts kept yelling “Cody!” when Mario made a play? Beyond just being basically stupid — which he is, with no doubt — Fouts was consistently awful in identifying which player made a play. I don’t ask for much. Hell, I can ed hardy hoodies even live with Steve “Big Time Players Make Big Time Plays In Big Time Games Unless They Fail Big Time on Big Time Downs” Tasker. But, at a minimum, I ask that the color commentator have the ability to differentiate between, say, Zac Diles and Mario Williams. Is that so hard? (Hint: Diles is the one who is easily the most cost-effective player in the history of modern sport.)
