We've obviously all heard a lot of dumb things said pertaining to our beloved sport. A lot of them our said by reporters and broadcasters. Most of them are said by people that don't pay attention to football. (someone I know who is a die-hard Houston Astros fan has no idea who Matt Schaub is) Then sometimes you hear things from people that seem to have knowledge of the sport but say something so insane it shocks you are simply cracks you up.
My favorite happened last year. I was at work on the phone with a salesman from Houston I regularly call and it was the Monday after Thanksgiving. He's telling me how he and his wife went and had Thanksgiving lunch at a friend's house. After lunch they were watching the Pats-Lions game and it was at a point that the Lions were handling things and the Pats were trailing. That's when the friend's wife says: "You know, the Patriots just haven't been very good since Drew Bledsoe left."
We were both on the phone cracking up. It was funny that someone who knew that Drew Bledsoe played on the Patriots apparantly had no clue what had gone on for the past decade.
I'm sure everyone has their favorites.
