Bill Simmons' take

[mat1419]

He's my favorite sports writer and I think he nails exactly how this game went:

8:58 -- All right, is there a dumber sports rule than "If your knee hits the ground, the play is over ... even if if you weren't touched" in college football? That's right up there with "You can't just intentionally walk someone, you have to throw four balls," "You don't get an extra foul for overtime," "You can call a timeout while you're in midair" and "You aren't allowed to punch A-Rod in the face during a game" in the pantheon of Dumb Rules That Only Make Sports Less Fun.

Hahahahahaha

11:40 -- Since I firmly believe Marv Albert should do every big NBA game, Pat Summerall every big NFL game and Keith Jackson every big college football game, no matter how old they are, and only because it feels like a bigger game when any of them is involved, I feel totally comfortable saying this: Listening to Jackson is like driving with my mother at night. In other words, maybe he can't really see anymore, and he might drive over a few curbs, and maybe he'll even send a pedestrian diving behind a parking meter ... but it's always exciting, and you always get home safely in the end.

He's so funny, best sports writer period. He pretty much said exactly what I felt about every play, except everything I said was to mock fucking Keith Jackson and Dan Fouts because they are stupid! Anyways, enough o that.

He's spot on about all those stupid fucking rules in college sports.

actually i think he really does like keith jackson. if he doesn't like someone he says it. i feel the same way as his, sure jackson is a mess sometimes, but i still love to listen to the man.

shaun salsbury (or however the fuck you spell his name) is SO bad on tv, but is great on the radio. It's weird. Like, he's one of my favorite guys to listen to on the radio, but on tv I just want to kick him in the face. it's like his opinions and speech style change dramatically on each of those mediums.

I like the old seahawks helmet. Reminds me of Thanksgiving with my family growing up. Everyone was from Seattle, and we all loved the Seahawks despite the fact that they blew ass. I had this huge seahawks sweatshirt that was so ugly. lol. Basically just big and white with that same exact image as your avatar.
