1. When the football season arrives, I like to remind you guys that ESPN’s Joe Buck and Troy Aikman are the best broadcast duo in the sport. I also like to regularly point out that Aikman is by far the best analyst in the sport and one of the main reasons why is that he doesn’t pull punches when it comes to the refs (or anything else for that matter). You guys also know that I’m not a fan of rules analysts, and that’s putting it mildly.
I tell you all this because there was a moment in last night’s awful Bengals-Broncos game, which featured 18 penalties, that was made just for me.
