How are you

You find out life's this game of inches, so is football. Because in either game - life or football - the margin for error is so small.

Denver Commentators

They are blaming the poor showing of Denver on the heat.

Denver has the worst homer announcers in the country.

by mgsmith100 on Aug 18, 2007 7:38 PM CDT reply actions  

Ehhh...

Most announcers are big time homers.

One of them on WOAI just called Aaron Glenn "one of the best in the game."

Shanahan on post game comments

Was crying that the Cowboys was bringing exotic blitz packages, and that they were dinged up.

by mgsmith100 on Aug 18, 2007 10:11 PM CDT up reply actions  

Classic Skins Loss!

They held the Steelers with a goal line stand and allowed them to kick a field goal with a minute left to go up 12-10.

Brunell marches them down the field to the 22, right in field goal range, then they have a delay of game, and an OFFENSIVE pass interference that puts them back around the 37...

To top it off, they dont' even get to try to win on a field goal because with 13 seconds left, Brunell throws an Oskie in the middle, which is intercepted.

If I can't watch the Cowboys, at least I can have fun watching the Skins get beat!!
