Football Math For (and by) Dummies (Rich)
I'm generally pretty easy on network commentators as sports fans go, because it's really hard to speak for 3 straight hours without saying something stupid no matter how smart you really are, and because all fans are pre-disposed to hate you because you aren't actively rooting for their team.
With that disclaimer, Randy Cross said something impressively stupid during the Steeler-Bengal game, probably the dumbest thing I've heard from a broadcaster all year. On the Bengals opening drive they dropped a touchdown pass, had another touchdown pass overturned by replay, and missed a short field goal. As the Steelers took possession, Cross reviewed this chain of events and proclaimed that the Bengals must really be kicking themselves, because: "that's a 17-point swing right there."
Um, NO NO NO NO NO NO! Not even a little bit!
