I don't know who was doing the TV play-by-play at the Houston-Jacksonville game (Gus Johnson, maybe?), but that thing was a treasure trove of material.
But first, that closing Hail Mary play by David Garrard was one of the craziest plays I've ever seen, but I'm glad it worked, because coaches are far too willing to piss away 30 or 40 seconds at the ends of regulation play. What do you have to lose by throwing the ball into the end zone? Defenses are taught to bat the ball down so it's not like someone's going to pick it off and run it back for a touchdown. I was also disappointed that Cleveland didn't go for two at the end of regulation against the Jets, but that's neither here nor there.
Anyway, without further ado, here's this week's gem, from Gus Johnson or his partner. The context here is that they're discussing an infographic with the top scorers in the 2nd half of games leaguewide, led by Arian Foster, and how great Arian Foster is:
"And let's face it, the second half is the most important half."
Granted, the NFL rules are constantly changing, but last time I checked, touchdowns are worth the same number of points in the first half as they are in the second half.
