Al Michaels

[bluezebra]

During last night's (Aug. 28) game, Al Michaels (who should know better) stated that Gene Upshaw was the FIRST guard elected the the NFL Hall of Fame. A BIG OOPS to Mr. M. The Chicago Bears had two guards elected well before Upshaw; Danny Fortmann and George Musso.

And that's not even considering members of other teams.

Then why did you bother to comment?

It's bad enough when the 'Talking Heads' in the booths screw-up on the rules, but to make erroneous statements when it's so easy to look things up in a record book is ridiculous.

What's it got to do with officiating? Who cares about announcers? They screw up all the time.

Ocho is Spanish for EIGHT (8). Rather ironic, since a 'Section Eight' discharge in the military is for mental problems.
