The poll didn’t work out how I hoped it would, but I think we have enough votes in to determine a top 10 or 11 and award the Pammy to its rightful owner. Some of the names I’m seeing in “Others receiving votes” are getting free passes. Let’s make an effort to watch some of the games they’re calling during Week 3.
And the winners are…
11. “He’s got the pants so far.” — Craig James after Jesse Palmer says “somebody wants to be player of the game.” (I forget who this referenced.)
10. “Lattimore against Rambo, and this time the solder lost… Rambo didn’t make it.” —Mark Jones
9. “Time winding down on the shot clock.” — Mark Jones (via Sctvman & YieldToFrump)
8. “A gradient day in Columbia.” —Mark Jones (via Sctvman)
7. “ACC stands for Awful Coast Conference.” — Rece Davis (via Sctvman)
6. “Nice job of pentration by ____ coming from the backside.” — Chris Spielman
5. “Edwards again got behind the secondary and howls it in.” — Beth Mowins after Edwards jumped, while in front of the secondary, and caught a deep pass. I think she was trying to say “hauls it in,” but it sounded an awfully lot like “howls.”
4. “Polk is great with the YAC… yards after (pause) tackle.” — Tom Glasgow (via kblinco)
3. “If you’re the underdog on the road, what you want are some turnovers and…and..and you have a couple of those. 4th down… stays, right here. Another conversion that turns… changes the ball over to your, so if you’re on the road.” — Bob Griese, verbatim.
2. “James Madison’s best work since the Federalist Papers.” — Rece Davis (via Sctvman)
1. “This game is encouraging for Notre Dame’s defense.” — Lou Holtz, 100% serious after Denard Robinson racked up 502 yards himself. May, with the rest of the world, rolls his eyes. (via Joshuaishere)
