I Always Hated Boomer
One thing I really hate about having a Sunday night darts league is that I always end up having to watch the Sunday night football games without the sound on. Then I end up missing some excellent sports moments. Like Joe Buck getting all indignant over Randy Moss's Moon Over Lambeau. (Don't worry, he'll get his next year.) I didn't even know about this one until just now: Most Awkward Moment: Boomer's Sneak Attack on Marino Not since the Lohan-Duff feud has America been torn in two quite like this. In case you missed it, after the Pats-Colts game, Boomer derisively remarked that Manning has become the Dan Marino of his generation, then Marino responded with a withering glare and a "How many Super Bowls have you played in?" comment, followed by Greg Gumbel punching himself in the head like Raymond Babbitt. All right, I made that last part up. But this was an UNBELIEVABLE moment. Poor Marino was smoldering for the rest of the show. Holy Crap! How did I miss that? I always hated Boomer as a commentator. I remember when he was on Monday Night Football the other talking heads barely checked their contempt for him, and towards the end of his last season on MNF they weren't checking it at all. I swear that I heard Al Michaels just tell him to shut up once late in Boomer's last season on the show. If I remember right, he did just that, not making a peep for quite a while.
