They may have talked about the game, but they didn’t talk about it well. I nearly spat my drink across the room when Kornheiser (I think) lauded the Bills playcallers for letting their rookie QB making his second start pass the ball “even though it didn’t work out this time” (IOW, as they prepared to punt after a three-and-out) with a one possession lead as huge underdogs in the fourth quarter. It didn’t even seem to occur to him that maybe, just maybe, running the clock was more valuable than passing stats. Then the Bills did the same thing two more times, one leading Newman’s INT when they were in all-but-guaranteed field goal range. Three points seals the win, and not one of those so-called experts in the booth questioned the fact that he was throwing the ball — only the wisdom of his decision to throw the specific pass he did when he did.

And, verily did the football gods punish the Bills for not burning clock when the Cowgirls, who did not hold a lead at any time during the game, won by 1 point after time expired.

Well, I don’t know about that “strangest graphic” note… the strangest graphic I saw was a chyron of Tony Romo with the 2nd line reading “aaaaaagg”.

Did you watch the same game I did?

They were awful…
Just dreadful…

The ridiculous stick early and constantly switching to the scripted stuff regardless of the in game drama.

They are just determined to try and make a star out of (not Funny)Kornheiser who dosn’t translate to TV. These guys make me miss Theismann which is saying something because I wasn’t a big fan of his.

Uhg!
