“Gutsy” i can appreciate, but in the last couple of years, it seems that “gutty” has displaced it among NFL commentators. Gutsy says brave & willing to take calculated risks, but gutty says “Hostess snack cakes form the base of my food pyramid.”

The year was 2006. My husband and I were watching the Ravens/Colts playoff game, I in my Vinatieri jersey, he in his Butkus. Just for grins, one of said “Let’s have a Jaeg Bomb for every Vinatieri field goal!”

Bear in mind, this was at the beginning of the game, so we thought it’d be no problem, but if you remember the scoring on that game, you’ll understand why I don’t do NFL drinking games anymore…

(of course, all the rum & cokes in between might have been a factor too)

Any time they talk about someone being out with “a knee” or “a hamstring.” It’s strange I know, but I thought that all players, injured or otherwise, had 2 knees, 2 hamstrings, etc.

for every time Kornheiser mentions Brett Favre. This has NOTHING to do with the game in front of him and he has a major man-crush on Favre, so its guaranteed he will bring up Brett at least 5 times….in the first half alone.

Tyrone Willingham: 0
A.J. Hawk: 0 (I think I’m most surprised his brother-in-law wasn’t mentioned)

Tom Brady: 0 (I also don’t remember a Favre reference)
Total Group 3: 3

None of the other things were said, which is probably a good thing. They didn’t need to be.
Overall Total: 28

And he got his first win, which is good for the Colts

I thought the Favre reference was a shoe-in. They actually talked about the game they were watching.

This idea actually made them tolerable. Thanks, mgrex.
