Ahhhhh! I love this time of year. Week 1 of the NFL season. No matter what, it is considered a national holiday. In fact, each and every Sunday is a national holiday during the NFL season. Of course, we're not short on the amount of storylines going into this season. Can't list them all right now, but I'll just say I really hate the Broncos with a passion, almost as musch as I hate mayonaise.
So I flip it to the last seconds of the Broncos-Bengals game today and makeshift starting QB Kyle Orton is charged with giving the Broncs a last chance at victory with 6-7 deficit. Through some stupid miracle of God, Orton's 20 yard pass attempt to Brandon Marshall was tipped by some Bengals defenders. Ball batted, down big play over, right? That was when the tip in the air ended up in the hands of Marshall's teammate Brandon Stokely, who took advantage of a sleeping secondary and proceeded to go another 60 yards to the house. And all the while, CBS' sure-fire fetishist Gus Johnson made a big spooge of the whole situation, and in typical Gus Johnson-style, yelled and screamed and made a big play bigger than it is.
I've always thought Gus Johnson was a jackass (the video above provided as sufficient evidence). I bet his co-workers at CBS Sports berate him quietly for his borderlining nerdish calls on par with a kid calling play-by-play in his own living room (guilty!). There's also more evidence in Johnson's work as the announcer for EliteXC on Showtime (Kimbo Slice-Seth Petruzelli, the prime example.)
Again, expect a whole bunch of jackassery from Gussy J.
