GoWesleyan said:"That's great but not surprising - what's he going to say?"
FWIW:
I would expect him to say something like: "That was a great play he made"
That sort of comment would have been sufficient and would not have been noteworthy.
There is a big difference between that and this:
"I think that it’s probably the best play that I’ve ever seen since I’ve been in the National Football League"
I thought the second statement was noteworthy.
If you don't see the difference, then nevermind.
My point is that Shanahan, like BB, goes out of his way to butter up a team before he plays them...
Surely you've noticed how BB makes similar comments about other team players just before he plays them?
Reporters have often joked about how BB will go on an on about an opposing team player being the best thing since sliced bread leading up to a game... doesn't matter how good or bad the team is either.
Shanahan and he are cut from the same cloth in that regard.
If you don't see the difference, then nevermind.
