Whoa, Nellie, He’s Old And Crazy

By oddJoe ⋅ January 5, 2006 ⋅ Post a comment

Last night while watching The Greatest Football Game Between The Two Greatest Teams Ever Assembled On One Field So We All Might As Well Pack It In Because The Destiny Of The Universe Has At Last Been Fulfilled (better known by its shorter but nearly as long official moniker, The Rose Bowl Game Presented By Citi), I knew that Keith Jackson, ABC’s venerable play-by-play caller and Gatorade pitchman, was offering up some ripe chestnuts, but I was too ~~drunk~~ busy watching the game to jot any of them down. Fortunately, Randy at Hi-Fi New York was on the ball and posted his top 10. (Thanks to Deadspin for the link.) My personal favorite was when the camera hit on Reggie Bush’s mother and Jackson pronounced, “�Mama�s gonna fly right out of here.”
