Soundbites From Week 8

Sunday is over, the games are done, here are some announcing quotes to report today from the games I was subjected to for the day.

"Good gracious, this game sucks" - Mookie, SSReporters founder and writer, who became annoyed with the Giants/Dolphins game in Wembley.

Now for some real ones.

"The Panthers run unique, different plays" - Phil Simms, CBS.

Hate to break it to ya buddy, but unique and different virtually mean the same thing.

"They have to get to the 47 of the Patriots for a first down" - Jim Nantz, CBS

That was the game between the Panthers/Colts. Whatever Jim, stick to golf.

"We are in Wembley Stadium in London" - Thom Brennaman, FOX Sports

For those who were punished to watching this, Thom tries to sound as quiet and uninterested in the game as possible.

"Jon Bison, er Bason, er Beason" - Phil Simms getting it right the 3rd time on Jon Beason's name.

"This crowd has been into it all game"- Daryl Johnston in the Giants/Dolphins game trying to make people not switch to CBS, while failing to realize that several fans left after the 3rd quarter.

"My usual partners Tony Siragusa and Daryl Johnston were sent to England, while I was sent to New England" - Kenny Albert, FOX Sports

Frank Caliendo you are not.

"Some booing in London from the fans" - Curt Menefee, FOX Sports Host

Well duh! It ended 13-10, the field was bad, the teams sucked, what were you EXPECTING??!!!

That's it from me, and this week is a twisted look at the NBA premiere.

Periwinkle What?

I can't stand watching anything on FSN Northwest, maybe I found out why. This is Cara Capuano calling the Wazzu/Arizona basketball game last season. Yikes.



Stupid Sideline Quote of the Day: "And the ball will roll into the endzone for a touchdown" - Greg Gumbel referring to a punt that went out of bound s in yesterday's Titans/Bucs game. Bryant would've made the same mistake too Greg.

Your Inaugural Stupid Sideline Quote of the Day

It's finally here! Everyday, I'll post the quote of the day from reporters, commentators, and analysts. The first one today, comes from FOX Sports analyst Terry Donahue. Painfully watching the Hawks go down 10-0, he pulls up this gem about the Cardinals defense:

"The Cardinals defense, was ranked 29th in defense last year."- TD


Terry, the defense can ONLY rank in defense. So unless the defense ranks 29th in special teams, that is a bad case of state the obvious.

NBA Draft Winners, Losers, Quote

NBA Draft Winners: Portland Trailblazers. They have Greg Oden, Brandon Roy, Steve Francis, Channing Frye, and LaMarcus Aldridge. That is a super starting lineup.

Runners up: Seattle Sonics. OK, so I am mega upset that they totally caved in and traded Ray Allen, but they have Kevin Durant and Jeff Green! Plus, there's always free agency to find more quality players. (Chauncey Billups)

3rd Place: Phoenix Suns. They drafted Alando Tucker from Wisconsin, and got a huge steal in DJ Strawberry from Maryland.


NBA Draft Losers: Boston Celtics. Ray Allen won't be around much longer, and getting an overweight Glen "Big Baby" Davis is taking a huge risk. So in reality, they wasted their draft.

Runners up: New York Knicks. Wow, Isiah Thomas is asking to be punched. You had Arron Afflalo, Alando Tucker, Rudy Fernandez, and you pick Wilson Chandler? That was their only draft pick, and they messed it up.

3rd place: Los Angeles Lakers. They obviously need another center, and they draft Sun Yue from China. What happened to drafting a Nick Fazekas in the 1st round, or even Aaron Gray in the 2nd round? Javaris Crittenton is just a baffler to me.

And your quote of the draft comes from Jay Bilas of ESPN. When referring to Atlanta Hawks player Acie Law IV, he said "He's not a great shooter, but he can make shots". WHAT?!! Anyway, ESPN needs to reduce the number of people covering the draft, and calm Stephen A. Smith and Dick Vitale down. That was a brutal broadcast, and I don't want to do that again.

P.S: Spike Lee, you're all over the internet because people think you were drunk.
