Going for Two: Week Seven Cornerback RIghts

I only watched/heard the last ~10 minutes of the Jacksonville v Buffalo game on Yahoo, but there were two very important things I learned in the last few minutes.

After a delay of game call on Jacksonville, the commentator explained that the QB probably couldn't even see the play clock, and proceeded to tell us just how high up the play clock is by asking, then answering a question.

You know how high that play clock is up there in that end zone? Really high.

I think I understand that completely now.

Next, there was some kind of call on a defender, and the commentator was very offended. Apparently, (because I didn't see the play or replay), the defender was just trying to catch the ball, and a grave injustice occurred, because....

He has just as much right to that football as the receiver.

I have a dream that one day on the green sod of a football field, the children of former receivers and the children of former cornerbacks will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood. On that glorious day, we will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual: "Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!"
