Saw Berman say that last night. Everytime he rubs one out to Favre that Tom Jackson dude is always doing his best to go along and not say anything career-threatening.

"That was a touchdown-saving tackle!" ~Most announcers.

Yeah, buddy, they all are. If the guy running with the ball towards the end zone wasn't tackled...he'd score.

ESPN keeps doing these inter-sports team comparisons. Or maybe just Kornheiser. Tonight within like 1 minute of his telecast he likened the Patriots to the '27 Yankees.

Why would anyone say such a dumb thing? Yes, the Pats have a great offense.

That's like saying meatloaf tastes just like filet mignon because they are both brown and meaty.

Also on one of their lame shows the other day ...damn I forget what sport it was but they asked a guy (in his sport, or on his team), who "was like Jeter, and who was like A-Rod?"

WHAT!?!? WHY!!!!!!! The guy was like "uhhh, well....uhhh. those are both great athletes. We've got a lot of great athletes on our team...." He totally hated the stupid question.

CLIFF NOTES: ESPN, stop comparing players/teams in one sport to players/teams in another.

As the Padres and Rockies are heading into the 12th, ESPN runs a Sportscenter promo and the three headlines are:

1) Patriots/Bengals in-depth analysis
2) Will the Packers make the playoffs?
3) Kobe's vow of silence

Nobody is gonna forget that playoff baseball is being played on something other than the ABC family of networks just because Stuart Scott doesn't say that the one-game playoff was bananas.

This is the network that made almost no mention of the awesome 18-inning playoff game between the Astros and Braves a couple years back. I think the Yankees were playing the Red Sox that night or something. FU DISNEYSPN

When Kent hit the walk-off? If so, that was one of the best games no one saw.

Wow, Steve Young went into a crazy diatribe about the patriots being the best thing in football. Pretty cooky stuff.
