"DeSean Jackson really gives them strikablility on offense" - Tim Ryan

Strikability???

"Here is the Eagles' bugaboo; short yardage" - Sam Rosen

Tell me he didn't just say "bugaboo"...

I'm not listening. I have that game on TV, but I'm watching Jags-Broncos on the computer.

@ S2N: By not listening, you're only missing awful announcing..

J.T. O'Sullivan is having his 6th start as a starting QB". - Tim Ryan

As opposed to all those starts he had as a back-up QB?

Yeah, but my team is on.

"He's facing an off-the-field problem, but this is the first year where Matt Jones is really understanding his role on the team." - Dan Dierdorf.

"You're right, Don. Stay away from trying to make tackles" - Sam Rosen.

Ummm....granted he was talking about Nedney who is playing injured, but still.

All Cliche Team member Tim Ryan (not the play-by-play announcer) on Donavan McNabb:

"The old dog can still hunt."

This has nothing to do with announcing and everything to do with me being a happy Eagles fan but Hank Baskett has made 3 incredible leaping catches. The biscuit has gone in the Baskett this afternoon...

"Here's Gore, straight through the hole. There wasn't much of a hole but he found it." - Sam Rosen

"Was that the greatest segue you've ever heard?" - Greg Gumbel
"That was perfection. That's why you're the best." - Dan Dierdorf

Is anyone else watching this Seahawks/Packers game? JC Pearson just went from "World's Whitest Black Guy" to try to get fresh on Gary Payton.

It was like the episode of Fresh Prince when Carlton tried to be a brotha.

"I didn't know Cousin Itt had taken up residence in the Mile High City." - Greg Gumbel, after a shot of a Broncos fan in some fuzzy orange covering.

as depressing as that Redskin game was for me since I'm a Redskins fan, I hope at least Dallas loses, and so far they've been getting away with a whole bunch of BS fumbles that the refs gave Dallas breaks on. Right now Arizona should be winning this game 21-0 instead of 7-0

"I'm guessing that if you are in a blue jersey, you will be getting a stern talking-to from a Mr. Michael Shanahan at halftime." - Dan Dierdorf

This is me, laughing at the Eagles for allowing the Niners to block an FG and take it to the house just before halftime.

Oh, and the Niners start the second half with the ball, too.

@ S2N: Don't get too excited. The Eagles have dominated the game and have been able to move the ball up and down the field at will. Akers needs to get out of his 45+ yd slump though. He's killing us.

What? No highlights of the late games?

What in the fuck was Andy Reid thinking with 30 seconds left? Everyone knows you take a cocksucking knee and head to the locker room.

Good. At least Patrick Crayton got a TD today. Something went right for my fantasy team.

Fuck....come on Eagles. PLEASE don't lose to the awful patheticness that is the 49ers...

"He's gonna start shooting people"
-Aikman

"This is a point where the Denver defense needs to arch their back and get a stop." - Dierdorf, as the Jags are driving at the Denver 25.

(Garrard throws a TD pass to Marcedes Lewis to make it 24-10.)

"Well, forget about that arch." - Dierdorf.

Stockton: Talking about what Pam was saying, about Whisenhunt talking about not shooting themselves in the foot, they haven't stopped.

Aikman: And eventually, Whisenhunt is just going to start shooting people, period.

*Awkward silence*

Dick Stockton after Kurt Warner was almost sacked:

"Warner very nearly got it from behind."

DeShaun Foster is still in the NFL???

What did Stockton just say about "the hood"?

Stockton had no idea what down it was

Hey AA --

Around the 5:00 min mark/3rd qtr after the review of Fitzgerald's TD catch that was ruled out of bounds in the Cardinals-Cowboys, Stockton said something about "Coming out of the hood" .. then said "You know what I mean" ..check it out..I only caught the last bit..but it sounded kind of funny..

Yeah, in relation to coming out of the hooded replay machine... I couldn't decide if he thought he had made a reference to the Ku Klux Klan hood, or the 'hood hood. Either way, it was pretty hilarious.

Rosen and Ryan are really kissing McNabb's ass. I'm an Eagles fan and all, but it's kind of pathetic how they are incessantly trying to prove that the interception wasn't McNabb's fault.

Aikman called Demarcus Ware, Andre Ware sometime in the 1st half of the game

Stockton: "Pete Morelli has come out from the hood... uhh... we mean ofcourse the hood to see the play... not to use..."

Aikman: "Yeah okay"

Stockton: "You know what I mean"

I almost just died I laughed so hard... this was the exact Stockton quote.


Dick Stockton: "Pete Marrelli has come out from the hood... I uh... I mean of course the hood to see the play... Not to use any, uh..."
Troy Aikman: "Yeah ok"
Dick Stockton: "Uh, you know what I mean."

Man, I'm sure Aikman can't wait for the baseball playoffs to be over so Joe Buck is back.

Any hood reference at that point is AWKWARD.

"Sit down!" - Tim Ryan to Sam Rosen, who must have been standing after someone clotheslined DeSean Jackson WWE style on a punt return.

Stockton just claimed that that was Breaston's "first NFL touchdown."

I knew that wasn't true, I had him on a fantasy team last year (weird league, long story). But he had a return TD last season.

And no correction while talking about the kid after the break.

And to address the "hood" references... Lucky for us there's a starter in this game with the last name Hood.

Donovan McNabb has passed Jaws in seemingly every statistic possible this year.

San Francisco is challenging a field goal. And from watching it, these guys will make Eddie Gunz look like the best ref in the world if they overturn this.

It stands.

Ken Whisenhunt is a moron !

Dick Stockton and Troy Aikman are idiots. Look at the replay of the blocked kick. Folk clearly let up when he heard the whistles.

the refs have been screwing Arizona most of this game

Cards got hosed on that offsides call.

Good job Cardinals, 49ers suck

What a great day. The Redskins lose to the Rams (HA!), the Cowboys lose to the Cardinals (HA!), and the Eagles beat the 49ers (YES!). The only thing that can possibly make this day better is if the Phils can beat the Dodgers.

I'm not a Cards fan, but they got hosed all game by Dallas and the refs, and glad they were still able to win in OT

Yeah I am continually amazed at NFL announcers not being aware of anything going on. There were whistles well before the snap on the field goal, and clearly Folk let up and the kick got blocked.

Stockton/Aikman were one-sided for Dallas the way Summerall/Madden used to be.

In any event Cowboys-Cards was an instant classic.

Forget the exact quote but Aikman on Barber's 4th quarter TD had this to say about the Cardinals defense..

"The Cardinals players continuously continued to have good angles to tackle him"

I heard that too Anon... it was present tense, "continuously continue to..."

And I wish I could have rewound (no Tivo for me) on that blown dead/blocked FG try at the end of regulation. I could have sworn I heard Stockton say, "And the game is tied."

I am a Cardinals, somewhat(I hate Bill Bidwill with the intensity of 1000 suns, but I still follow the team), and as far as I'm concerned, Ken Whisenhunt should buy a steak dinner for everyone on that punt coverage team. They picked his ass up after that horrile time-out call at the end of regulation.
