I thought of the "chopping in" comments right when Hochuli made his annoucement Monday night. If I remember correctly Hochuli said he was "chopping the ball into play," and while laughing about it, one of the announcers (I believe it was Joe Buck, but it may have been Aikman) said "apparently he was chopping something." I don't understand why they don't close their mouths before they really show how ignorant they are.
