1.) Question: Why do all referees sound exactly the same -- is it because they all say the same thing into those booming mikes, so the base voice underneath it all doesn't matter?
2.) Commentator comment that made me groan: said after returning from a commercial with shots of the Columbus Zoo playing in the background --> "It was kind of a zoo on that last snap." If you're going to be an announcer, you have to go to segue school -- and, as a side note, you also must never take inspiration from Whoopi Goldberg as she's another regular forced-segue-offender on The View.
3.) Commentator comment that made me giggle: it wasn't exactly what the commentator said, but it was the image of the Chick-Fil-A cows that pop up as the graphic (since they're a sponsor). I don't have the room, but they do make me want to have a cow or two as pets.
4.) Stat of the day: 11. As in the number of years since Adam Taliaferro was injured at the Horseshoe (the Ohio State stadium -- not the stripper bar down the street). Motivational symbolism that the human spirit can survive the darkest days ... for the team, for the institution, and for Jerry's Kids (the Sandusky victims, not the MDA poster children).
5.) Final thought: it may be "treatable", but it won't be easy -- particularly when exacerbated by the stresses of the unfolding scandal. Our thoughts and prayers are with JoePa and his family as he faces this battle at the same time he deals with all things Sanduskian.
