Semantic, Pedantic

>> Saturday

A little example of how players' reputations influence characterization of their performance--FOX commentator Moose Johnston just referred to Jeff Garcia's crappy play in the first quarter of the Saints-Eagles game as "not efficient."

Of course, Jeff Garcia's reputation is that of a "game manager." Were it Rex Grossman being crappy, I imagine Moose would have gone with "careless" or "BadRex." Were it Peyton Manning, the phrase "slow start" would have undoubtedly surfaced.

Ok, this post was stupid. But that title is pretty catchy, eh?

He just said it again.

Speaking of announcer semantics and stuff just said a couple seconds ago that no one cares about, as my brother pointed out to me a few weeks back, football commentators have dropped the term "double move" more this year than the rest of our football-watching years combined. What's up with that yo???????????

And what's funny is that FOX just flashed Garcia's 116.3 game passer rating on the screen, not five minutes after the "inefficient" comment. Ok, I'm done "live blogging." I promise.
