The Great iBoldin Posted November 12, 2010 Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 From Bill Simmons' Week 10 picks article.. Texans (+1.5) over JAGUARSThe Law of Gus Johnson is sweeping the nation: He's called four straight weeks of games that were genuinely exciting (Jets-Lions, Bills-Chiefs, Bengals-Falcons, Chiefs-Texans) and this battle between two David Lee teams (all offense, no defense) looks like No. 5. I keep mentioning the Law of Gus without ever really defining it, so let's do it right now. If Gus Johnson is calling an NFL game, the odds quintuple that (A) the lead will change hands in the fourth quarter; (B) someone will complete a long pass in a big moment that will make Gus' voice hit an octave only dogs can hear; and © the game will go into overtime or at least come damned close. It seems impossible that the mere presence of an announcer would alter the course of the game, but here's my theory: I think God sits in his Man Cave on Sundays and says, "Which game is that Gus Johnson calling? I get a kick out of that guy. I think I'll make his game exciting and see if he completely loses his mind." Pretty funny, but it's definitely true. I love me some Gus Johnson, one of the best PBP announcers in the "sport" right now. Much better then whatever the hell NFL Network had on last night. Roddy White scores the winning touchdown and the guy sounds like it was just a mid-second quarter field goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
