According to Markbriet (sp??) in his book, Drieth wasn't criticized by the league because it was an accurate description. I just think they didn't want their R's to clown around while the mic was on, but I don't think they had to worry about that with Ben.

In his excitement Drieth reported the wrong number. The Jet player involved was Mary Lyons, number 93. I'd like to forget number 99.
