On CBS, I get fake crowd noise but still Tracy Wolfson’s real voice.

Sammy Watkins was seeing stars after a helmet-to-helmet hit.

Today's goofy NFL note: The Cowboys-Falcons game was the second time an NFL game has finished with a 40-39 score. The first was the Chiefs over the Browns in 2002. Both of them had rather unusual circumstances that led to a game-winning field goal as time expired.
Today's game had the Cowboys' huge comeback and an onside kick that led to the winning field goal.
In Browns-Chiefs, the Browns were hit with a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on the final play of the game because one of their players took his helmet off in celebration during the play, at an apparent game-ending fumble. The first down gave the Chiefs an untimed down and moved the m into range for Morten Andersen's 30-yard game-winner. The Chiefs also came back from a 13-point deficit in the last 10 minutes to win.

Couldn't have answered the obligatory "two," much less day of week, where he is or anything else.

Tirico starts the day hosting at Winged Foot, now doing Football Night in America. Granted, it's 15 minutes away, but still, that's a nice day.

Brutal Sunday for several teams. The injuries, ugh.

I will never understand how Chris Simms got to this position in NBC. Oh. Wait. NBC loves hiring the children of famous people.

Haskins didn't exactly suck at Ohio State. He was a Heisman Trophy finalist who threw for 4,800 yards and 50 touchdowns his last year there. I don't know how good an NFL quarterback he'll turn out to be, but he was outstanding in college.

Similarly, Burrow was better than mediocre his junior year at LSU. He threw for almost 3,000 yards, had a 16-5 TD to INT ratio, and ran for seven TDs. The team won nine games -- it should have been 10 if they hadn't gotten royally fucked at Texas A&M -- and played in a New Year's Six bowl. He just made such a quantum leap from 2018 to 2019 that it made it look like he was more average than he was in 2018.
It also helped that, sometime around February 2019, for the first time in 20 years LSU discovered that the forward pass is legal.

I think what Burrow really has is a mix of very capable talent and every positive intangible in the book. It's clichéd, but you see it right away when you watch him for a few games. He's tough. He doesn't panic. He has good pocket presence and knows when to run and when to scramble to buy time. He keeps his eyes downfield and can spot a play developing. He doesn't make a ton of mistakes, which is a huge part of playing QB. Give him a line that can protect him to some degree, to where they can run some deeper routes, and he'll be fine.
This was one of his signature plays in 2019, and it's the one I always think of to sum up what he brings to the table. It's a long catch and run by the receiver, off of a pass that wasn't anything special in and of itself. But the way Burrow senses pressure, moves up in the pocket, keeps the play alive, and stands in to finish the play while taking a hit are all very special. A lot of QBs would have taken a sack there. He kept his cool and created one of the biggest plays of LSU's season.

Burrow’s junior year was only deemed mediocre once his senior year began to unfold. Mediocrity by comparison.

Absolutely.
Now, after Cam scores, they play Superman by The Kinks.
Whoever does their music is very very good.
