It’s here! It’s here! It’s here! It’s almost here! Okay, it’s a few hours away.
What’s the latest in the Most Important Game In The History Of The National Football League? Patriots safety Eugene Wilson is out of the game, meaning their coverage of tight end Dallas Clark might be affected. I know, huge. No new news on Marvin Harrison, as of this writing, he’s still likely not to play. Well, if you believe Tony Dungy.
In terms of the all-important Hype Watch, the CBS pre-game show is actually trying to downplay the game, discussing the other games and their importance. Until Phil Simms gets everyone back in line and notes that this is “the most anticipated regular season game in the history of the National Football League”. Leave it to a winner like Simms to get this ship righted.
I admit, I kind of have to feel for the other CBS announcers, who now must follow Simms and try to convince you that their games are also important. Dan Dierdorf just had to announce that Tarvaris Jackson is starting at QB in Minnesota.
The guy was on Monday Night Football, dammit! Now he’s on the Tarvaris Jackson Watch? Life in the announcing world is a precarious thing, no?
