What’s the dumbest thing anyone’s ever said while you were watching a game?

I recall Chris Collinsworth, a goldmine in these types of discussions, once said something along the lines of (paraphrasing), "are we going to have a game today that doesn't end on the last play?"

Silly me, I was under the mistaken belief that every game ended on the last play even if it's a tie because... the game is over after that last play.

Well, I'm sure you know he was talking about the game coming down to the last play. While it was a funny way to put it, it wasn't really a stupid thing to say.

During a SuperBowl a few years back, my MIL said “Why did the referee throw a rubber chicken onto the field?” It was a flag.

A game MUST end on the last play because by definition it would not be the last play if the game didn't end after it was played.

Of course, and he knows that. He just meant that the last play wasn't going to change the outcome of the game.

My wife tells me almost once a week (especially during the Garrett era):

"It's just a game. These millionaires don't even know you exist."

So many examples, but prob the best "general" gaffe is when someone goes on & on about how great or bad a guy is playing and it isn't that guy. A few years ago a d lineman went out for some reason & fan kept talking about his play the rest of the game even with several of us subtly trying to get him to figure it out.

At a superbowl party one time a lady asked if the players got to watch the halftime show while they were resting.

I was in college and a gf at the time asked me to meet her friends at the park and play frisbee. This was about an hour before kickoff. I told her that I don’t go anywhere before a game unless it is at the stadium and I certainly don’t go to the park to play frisbee at any time. We didn’t last much longer….:lmao:

My grandfather (RIP) used to always say "if somebody doesn't stop him, he's going to go all the way".

Well.....ok.... you can pretty much say that on every single play....but I guess he wasn't wrong.
