Say It Ain't So, Joe (and Troy)

I’m enough of a Bears’ fan, or a Packers’ hater, that I tuned into last night’s Green Bay-Arizona game. With four minutes 48 seconds left and the Packers first and goal at the Cardinals’ one-yard line and already ahead by three, the dynamic broadcasting duo of Troy Aikman and Joe Buck opined it might be better for the Cardinals to allow a score so as to get the ball back with enough time left on the clock for two scores. You don’t say? Imagine everyone’s surprise in the broadcast booth when Arizona held for four downs and proceeded to march down the field. Too bad Kyler Murray threw an interception in the end zone on second and goal from inside the five with fifteen seconds left. The way the game ended, nobody focused on what Aikman and Buck had said a few minutes earlier. Expect more of the same when Buck does game three of the World Series from Atlanta. Just give up the grand slam, Joe?
