OT: What's the funniest dumb football comment you've ever heard?
 

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.

OK this isn't football - well not what we call football - but I think it is funny enough to mention. This is from many years ago talking about the World Cup. I said "in order for the men to qualify for the World Cup all they need to do is beat Trinidad & Tobago."

One of the other guys having lunch said "I think they can beat Trinidad but they'll lose to Tobago."

I will have to choose the ignorance from many so-called 'expert' fans of the NFL in regards to the Spygate issue, and the relevance/irrelevaance that they give this teams' success. (pre and post)
