Worse big-game call: All The Tostitos or Mine Eyes Have Seen The Glory?

That man's hands are better than Allstate!

 

"The land of the free, the home of the brave, is into the round of eight!"

 

This is for all the Chick-fil-A sandwiches ... huh, I actually wouldn't mind one of those right now.

 

I guess "This is for all the Humanitarians" didn't make the cut ...

 

Edwards was so damn bad during that entire World Cup run.

If we're talking about worst performance from start of a big event to finish, Todd Harris wins that for his awesomely bad Indy 500 performance a few years back.

 

This one is to kick hunger's ass once and for all.

 

... This is for all the Franklin American Mortgages!

... This is for all the Bridgeport Education!

Or just "Oh, the humanity!" for N. Illinois' thumping of Fresno in Boise.

 

"This is for all of the Gaylord Hotels"=epic win

 

Tostitos is worse because of how willfully self-degrading it is. At least Mine Eyes is so headswimmingly awful that it's almost a guilty pleasure.

They're just amateurs against Nantz's body of work, though. The man is on another plane. Oh, to see Syracuse beat UC Santa Cruz in the title game, so he could say, "Orange you glad I didn't say Banana Slug?"

 

I used to love it when the team I covered was in the running for the Chick-fil-A Bowl. The bowl's reps would paper the press box with free chicken sandwich and milkshake coupons like they were passing out nudie bar brochures on the Las Vegas Strip.

 

A certain columnist who shall not be named once said:

"Top-four names, words and phrases that sound 10 times more entertaining when Keith Jackson says them: (1) LenDale White; (2) Tostitos; (3) the speedster; (4) Frostee Rucker."

 

Actually, he WAS up until 4 a.m. ... Central time anyway. That match started at 2 a.m. I think it was evening in South Korea.
