it's not a 'drop' when the wide recievers arms are fully outstretched and hes running full speed and the ball slides of the outstretched hands on the *distal* parts of the fingers.

Call it an overthrow. Call it a tough catch. Call it whatever....but those balls are *rarely* caught. We rarely see wrs catch balls with that part of their fingers and bring it back to the body. 9/10 times the ball hits the ground. Maybe more.

Now that supposed drop he is referring to was a little more borderline as it got a good bit of fingers and not just the fingertips.....although it was still a tough catch and not a drop.

When Buck is doing a broadcast of any sport, I turn off the sound. The
guy is a total asshole.

In comparison, I thoroughly enjoyed Eli and Peyton's "narration" of the
Ravens/Raiders game. I'm not sure I could enjoy it week in and week out,
but I got to see the game and listen to them and their guests ham it up.
They were self-effacing while providing very good insight. Sort of John
Madden-like.

He's a jerk. It's amusing how they position him closer to the
camera than Troy so he doesn't look so small.

That was done well. My football wife liked it.

Midgets are assholes.

Troy doesn't like him either but he'll put up with 3 hours of crap for the
money.
