They sure are letting plays go even after the runner is stopped or even going backwards.

I wondered about that too.

Most games I remember they seem to try to whistle the moment the dude stops.

I really don't mind the way they called it in the ND Miami game ... but that is absolutely NOT the way I see it called in other games / at the bank ...

That was a pretty good game. Notre Dame is really missing Riley Leonard rn.

I miss Heatherman’s borderline scary intensity.

I’m not surprised that you picked up the sarcasm of the post I was quoting, but missed my sarcasm.

It was a pretty bad effort. In comedy writing, or comedy in general it’s called “putting a hat on a hat” and it’s considered hacky. It’s giving a nod to a clever line, and then trying to add a line attached to it, which can actually distract from the original funny line.

You hear it all the time during sports broadcasts (especially CBS golf announcers) that trip all over themselves trying to out-clever their colleagues. It’s basically yelling out “oh, listen to this, it’s like your joke, but not as funny”.
