He really did embarrass him self tonight. First by going off on the touchdown with the “bobble“. He didn’t even try to play devils advocate. Then on the subsequent Philly touchdown where he claimed that it was obviously no touchdown. It was like he didn’t even know the rule. The receiver clearly caught the ball made a football play, took several steps and then went into the end zone. There was absolutely no question, none, zero, that he was a runner at that point and that it would stand as a TD.
I actually mentioned at the start of the fourth quarter that both play by play announcers were showing very little emotion for what was one of the greatest Super Bowl’s of all time. We’ve had multiple close Super Bowl’s in the last 15 years but we’ve almost never had an offensive shootout. In fact I can’t remember a Super Bowl in my lifetime that was an offensive showdown like this. I don’t just mean yards, which was obviously a record, I also mean the back-and-forth offensive domination. And they were acting like it was a boring game in September.
