Worst Call Ever…
So unless you were under a rock this weekend (or just heavily focused on the Cleveland Indians defeating the evil empire), you heard that USC was upset by the 40+ point underdog Stanford Fighting Trees (or whatever they’re called). What you probably didn’t know, was that the game was only broadcast on digital cable station “Versus,” formerly known as the Outdoor Life Network. (Once they started showing hockey, I guess they had to change the name. Not that anyone watches hockey, but I digress…)
So listen to how badly these announcers mess up the call at the end of the game. Before you watch, let me remind you that Stanford is the team with the ball and the team that scores the touchdown. Oh, and also it’s helpful to remember that the touchdown tied the game at 23, while the extra point put the Trees up by one, giving them the win.
When the play-by-play guy has his head up his ass, you’d think the color man would know what was going on. Or at least the score of the game. Guess not.
Quote of the Year: “Jim Harbaugh, if you’re asking, is going to go for the tie right here, he’s holding up…obviously…they’re tied right now…he’s going to go for the extra point…”
“You’ve Got To!”
