So, the backstory of the title for this post…
A few years ago on Sunday Night Football, Dallas played Green Bay in a game that got wildly out of hand. I think Green Bay was up 35-0 at halftime, or something along those lines. Dallas came out for the second half a defeated team determined to just finish the game and go home.
Early in the half, a Green Bay defender blitzed and hit the quarterback without anyone making an effort to stop him. The replay came on and showed the defender running right past a stationary Felix Jones, the Dallas running back on the play. Presumably, he was supposed to block the defender but it was hard to tell from the replay. The rest of the play took only a second – the defender hit the quarterback while Jones remained motionless.
Commentator Cris Collinsworth watched this replay twice without remark. This was unusual. His job was to analyze the game and add insight into what was going on. But the first and second replay came and went without comment.
Finally, as Dallas was about ready to start the next play, Collinsworth delivered the sharp insight he is known for.
Felix Jones…has no clue.
