New York Times Composes "Explosive" ESPN Script Built Entirely From NFL Cliches
By Ty Duffy
"It’s a dangerous, violent game. When you’re down there in the field. In the trenches. You have to hang in that pocket and look down the gun barrel. You have to have the weapons. Shotgun? Great protection. Aaron Rodgers has so many weapons. As many options as Baskin Robbins has flavors. A 50 mile per hour bullet. A launch window lasting roughly two tenths of a second — a margin of error literally faster than the blink of an eye. All you need to do is give a playmaker an opportunity for a fraction of a second. Green Bay is a pretty explosive team."
Two oversights. No mention of “the National Football League” or “the quarterback position.”
