Playing a little Cranberries into commercial. The NBC music guy is more cleverer than the other networks'.

This colts backup ain't halfbad. Just needs a line and some WR who will hold onto the ball...

I guess. Awful play call then. I would've faked the throw and run it in with the QB.
The play worked; Tolzien just made a bad throw.

I definitely would've put Tolzien under center and made the Steelers defend the run, even if I ultimately threw the ball, but I'm not sure you can put that one on the coaches -- even a backup QB needs to make that throw.

How do we decide whether to ask ex-jocks about their shady doings off the field during a sideline interview? Even if OJ hadn't gone to jail for that incident in Las Vegas, no one would think a football-only sideline interview was appropriate, but that's what NBC just did with Marvin Harrison. Do we think he might actually be innocent, or do we just assume the other guy had it coming?

Haha. I was thinking the exact same thing. When does she ask about the car wash. But hey, Lewis is a host so I think the bar is quite low.

What is Collinsworth's deal overselling Tolzein? "That's great QB play..." Replay shows horrid mechanics.

This game should be tied. Also the colts should be ashamed. Their last two red zone drives played out play for play the same including head shots to a rushing quarterback.

Ray Lewis was actually charged, which is significant, but at the end of the day he was only accused of being involved in a fight where someone on his side pulled a knife and killed two people. (And of course, the charges were dropped after a key witness changed his story, and Lewis's co-defendants were acquitted.) Harrison is suspected of doing something much more sinister, even though he was never charged.

As I said, I don't know who makes these judgment calls, or how. I guess I'd rate Harrison somewhere between OJ and Lewis -- Lewis might actually be innocent, and killing your ex-wife is a lot different than killing someone who frankly sounds like he had it coming.
