Now i am not an old man, but listening to that made me feel like i watched leather helmet football in the "good old days". It was funny, im not pounding on him for it, but i found it funny that someone associated with an arrogant and condescending show like B & B made an honest mistake on air. at least someone associated with that show isnt "all-knowing". i wonder if that makes him a "meatball", and they wont let him on-air anymore.

Who said B&B thought they were "all-knowing?"

There's seriously something wrong with you...

Who said B&B thought they were "all-knowing?" They give their opinions...that's what they're paid to do. How is that different from any other show anywhere?

Dan Bernstein, for one...and if you disagree with him, he'll talk over you until you do agree...

if a knowledgeable yet pompous, condescending sports talk host paired with a cranky, ill-informed, giggling boob is your bag, than enjoy the show. but to say that they aren't a little self-important is funny. its a radio program - don't get all sweaty and defensive.

as I've said before, if you are well spoken, even if you disagree with them, they will keep you on and not talk over you. Case in point-when the Cubs were headed to a playoff set with the Dodgers, I called up and predicted the Cubs would be swept. After laying out a couple of concise reasons, they kept me on the air for five minutes having a reasoned discorse. We agreed to disagree. I was right, and called back the next week, and Terry apologized to me on-air. It just takes being intelligent.

did you change your sig line and add the last two sentances?

I was in the car picking up a pizza last night, and had the score on with Buffone and Goff, and heard a funny exchange that made me laugh a little. They were talking about bye weeks, and what a player does during a bye week, how it changes the routine. I had to smile when Goff asked Buffone "What did you do during your bye weeks when you were a player?". There was a short pause, and Doug goes "they didnt have bye weeks when i was a player!". Then Goff says "You played 14 straight games without a break?".

Have you ever heard of sarcasm? A form of humor that is marked by mocking with irony, sometimes conveyed in speech with vocal over-emphasis. Saying something that is opposite of what is intended to be meant. Pretty sure Goff was employing it here.

perhaps, though i don't think so. did you hear the exchange?

Right. I remember a lot of people saying Payton breaking Jim Brown's record shouldn't count cuz he had 2 more games per season over Jim Brown.

I thought that was more of an issue with Dickerson breaking Simpson's single season record than Payton.

Well I knew that the league was playing only 14 games a season but they moved to 16 per season 6 years before Doug started. So I was trying to be funny but if there is one thing I try to know it's the history of the games. Even though I was off by 6 years

And if he did play in those years with only 14 games (even though he didn't) without a bye week it would be 14 straight games wouldn't it?

But, like B&B point out, Brown played against a lot of shitty white people. More so than today's NFL.
