Actually he just asked the other guy what he thought about Tennessee still throwing the ball around this late. The other guy gave a very good answer.One of the announcers today went well out of his way to say he didn't agree with Tennessee throwing the ball around and running up the score with the game in hand (I think there was about 3-5 min left in the 4th).
I'm sorry but Dormady busts his ass way too hard in practice to come in when the game is over and hand it off 3 times. Also, the same announcer made the comment "why don't you work the back ups in earlier in the game (before its essentially over)." Well, dumb*** you answered your own question. The game isn't over and we need our best players on the field to ensure we win. The other announcer totally got this concept and I really think I could hear him making a "pffft (can you believe this guy)" type sound under his breath while the other idiot was blabbing.
Rant over.

When that guy made the comment about "If you want to get your back-ups in to get some work and throw the ball around, then put them in when the game is meaningful", I said out loud..."What an idiot". I was seriously wondering how somebody that stupid, ever got a job as an announcer.
While I think Dormady is a quality back-up QB, the announcer's comment was still ridiculous. You don't bring a guy in off the bench in a game where the score is close, just to get him some throws. He might turn the ball over, and change the outcome of the game. Have no idea what that announcer was thinking.
Basically, the only time the back-up gets in, barring an injury to the starter or a pattern of bad performances by the starter, is when the game is in hand. So, why should they not get the chance to show what they can do? They really don't get any other chance to do so.
Who was that announcer, anyway?
I guess the picture of Fitzgerald leading them in a chant at the start of the 4th was Northwestern reciting the Little League handbook
