Description
The last few days in the sports world have been riddled with mistakes. We saw our share in Seattle.
Some strange things happened at Lumen Field Sunday during the Seahawks' win over the New York Giants.
Let me preface this by saying we all make mistakes, especially in the live TV business, where you can't go back and fix them.
Former NFL quarterback Mark Sanchez was the analyst in the broadcast booth for the Seahawks-Giants game. Seahawks kicker Jason Myers kicked a ball that was deflected, before fluttering over the crossbar for a field goal.
Sanchez said, "that thing looked like a Chuck Knoblauch knuckleball."
Later in the broadcast, Sanchez called himself an idiot, realizing Knoblauch played second base during his MLB career and wasn't a pitcher.
This is the same guy who infamously fumbled a football after running into a teammate's butt, so viewers may have just chalked it up as a "Sanchez," much like fans of The Simpsons learned to describe such blunders as a "Homer."
Later in the same game, Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll was penalized for a sideline infraction. The referee pulled his own Homer when he announced to the crowd and the broadcast audience a penalty charged to "the head coach of the Seattle Mariners."
