"You can't win the game, if you don't score any points"

Or, "you're not going to get into the end zone unless you can move the football"

Such a deep level of analysis from the color commentator.*


*Not in today's game, but I've seen it this vapid in past games

Example: #1= They're ready to play today.
#2= They've been down this road before.
#3= He's been out for part of the season
Etc..
That way their show could be made nice and simple:

Bob: "6,13,24,1,7,9,4"
Dave: "1,34,25,28,15,9,16"

What's the difference? , they say the same 'ol crap every week anyway.
