Why does Mark Schlereth have to always specify things with the word "football," as if ESPN pays him to talk about things other than football? "This football team" or "the football game," and so on and so forth.

For example, in the time it took me to type that paragraph, I heard him say, "...the best football team in the National Football League."

It's like, Mark, were you the same guy who stretched contractions into two words on high school papers that had a minimum word count above the threshhold of what you were normally capable of?

The football team couldn't.... "Errrr, scratch that,"

The football team could not come back and win the game.... "Still not enough,"

The football team could not come back and win the football game.

"Perfect."
