when i first heard spears on tv a few years back, i was impressed and thought he had a great future in the making. but since that time he's more concerned with becoming a celebrity and has failed miserably at it. i don't like him anymore. but maybe that's what is required to work for espn.
I was half paying attention, but he said something to the effect of (and a bit sarcastically) how about channeling that energy into keeping the other team out of the end zone
LOL, made me crack up at my desk sir
If you prevent the other team from showboating without taking any penalties (it's a minor miracle Dowdle broke free for a big return and we didn't get pinned down around our own 10 or 15, like we should've been, on that one kickoff that came after we took a penalty after one of the Pittsburgh touchdowns)? I'm fine with it. But if the effort to "protect the star" includes taking penalties that will tend to screw us on the next drive, I'd rather not. Opponents shouldn't get a free shot to pin us deep on the ensuing drive just because we're sensitive snowflakes about opponents celebrating on certain patches of our turf.
