LeGarrette Blount's 54-yard PutDaTeamOnMyBack (nsfw) run might be one of the highlights of the NFL football season. On the NFL networks highlight show, Deion Sanders delivered a call almost as hilarious as Blount's run was spectacular. After Sanders squealed in delight after delivering his "SIX PEOPLE TRYING TO HIT THAT BLOUNT" line, Eisen went all Nancy Reagan in response. Neon Deion decided not to heed the hosts caution and repeat the same line, this time even more exaggerated during the replay. The Packers were able to hit that Blount enough as Green Bay kept their undefeated season alive by defeating Tampa Bay, 35-26.

At Awful Announcing, we'd like to remind our readers that there is "no hope with dope." Zack Morris got with Kelly Kapowski and can stop time and that phrase rhymes so it would be crazy to argue against him.

Update: We've tracked down video of how Andrews got splashed. At the bottom of this post.

And no she wasn't wearing a white shirt as everyone's immediate response on Twitter and FB has almost uniformly been "What color shirt was she wearing?"

At the end of what was an instant classic game, Baylor threw a wrench in Oklahoma's BCS Championship Game plans via a game winning touchdown with 8 seconds left.  The end result was euphoric bedlam in Waco.

While at this time there is no video of that actual dousing (we're dying to know who, how, and when), Andrews took this video after the game and posted it to her Youtube account and later tweeted the link out. What a social media savvy foxy lady. As you can see below, she was in pretty good spirits about the unexpected celebration.

Kudos to Andrews for not going all Tim McCarver about the incident. This seemed to have gone mostly unnoticed until Andrews mentioned it on Twitter as she seemed to embrace the moment. I'm sure some folks will cry foul there.

If anyone has a link to the video, we'd love to see it. I tuned away from the game shortly after her interview with RG3. Looking at Twitter it seems she ended up in a "crazy mosh pit of fans" that had some worried about her safety. Shortly after... boom city.

Some fans tear down the goal posts, others riot, but apparently in Waco, you find the insanely famous sideline reporter and give her a Gatorade bath. For now, this innovation in celebration seems to have the lowest percentage chance of being sprayed with pepper spray so maybe there is something to this. 

I was wondering when Corso was going to go completely senile and start muttering inappropriate things on TV.

I'm just glad there WASN'T a delay:

 Of course, this nearly blew up the internet to smithereens. Robert Flores may have said it best: 

Lee Corso doing his best to blow up twitter. It's as if Tim Tebow won the Super Bowl. Throwing to Terrell Owens. W a Brett Favre jersey

Lee Corso read a scripted apology after a commercial break during the Michigan/Nebraska game. No need to apologize, Lee - that was awesome.

**Update - Here's video of said scripted apology...

Week 12 announcing schedule

Week 11 results and updated standings

"Mike O'Cain decided to spit the football out to his WRs." - Jesse Palmer (via Sctvman)

"Mario Dovell gives a laissez-faire effort." - Ray Bentley (video)

Remember that innocent comment from Boston College athletic director Gene DeFilippo that said, "ESPN told us what to do" regarding realignment?  Well, an e-mail released from Texas A&M athletic director Bill Byrne (right) dated July 21st of this year takes those conspiracy theories to the next level.  The subect is entitled "Big-12 3rd tier issues or: Death by a thousand cuts."  Alllll righty then!!!  Of course, A&M would would officially leave the Big 12 for the SEC two months later.  

With the Big 12 on the verge of annihilation again this summer, there were many issues at stake - namely, consternation over the elephant in the room, Texas' marriage with ESPN via the Longhorn Network.  Byrne's e-mail also sheds light on the complicated nature of television rights and the relationship of the Big 12, ESPN, Fox, and member institutions.  However, it's clear after reading the e-mail that ESPN's conflict of interest with the Longhorn Network may have been an even bigger albatross than we imagined.  Among the highlights of Byrne's e-mail, which you can read in full here...

"The first year of cable system is the critical startup time. So far no cable systems have signed up. According to DeLoss (Texas AD DeLoss Dodds), tu (Texas) contract calls for one game with best efforts for a 2nd game.  ESPN pushing hard to get clearances and inventory. Threatened Tech. DeLoss acknowledges ESPN rep did that but he stopped them from doing that any more. Privately Says he can control ESPN, publicly says he can't."

So an ESPN representative threatened Texas Tech with putting a game on the Longhorn Network?  What exactly did they threaten Tech with?  Negative press?  Sticking Tech games on ESPNU at bad times?  Sending Craig James to Lubbock?  Did the Texas athletic director really have to stop ESPN from threatening other schools?  It gets better...

After last night's improbable victory, Tebow looks like they will continue to rise in the NFL.com Power Rankings.  Right now, there's nothing save for a Mayan apocalypse that can stop Tebow now... except for maybe a team that has a better quarterback than Mark Sanchez.

Maybe Tebow Time could be brought down a couple notches if there was actually an NBA season to talk about.  (OK, let's not kid ourselves, it wouldn't.)  Instead of NBA games, which ESPN is still apparently hopeful of showing, why not MORE TEBOW!!  Come on, I think Bristol is really behind on that story...

Who knew MLB realignment would be so radical?  The Astros are moving to the AL West as is another new MLB team...

I'm not sure which one here is the snafu in this Washington State-Gonzaga game, but a 12-0 run in 22 seconds is impressive enough.  When it happens and you've only scored one point in the game, why that's downright incredible...

And finally, well... I should just let these last two speak for themselves...

That was your week in Screengrab Snafus, next time be careful out there!

UFC fighter Chael Sonnen appeared on Off The Record in Canada on TSN for an interview with host Michael Landsberg.  Normally, this wouldn't be cause for news.  However, what resulted was the most laughable attempt at a sports interview in the history of human beings answering questions from each other.  In fact, the first attempt at Landsberg's interview with Sonnen goes so bad they attempted a reshoot.  The whole problem revolves around Landsberg suggesting Sonnen "backed down" from his ridiculous proposition towards UFC Middleweight Champion Anderson Silva as his opening question.

Sonnen is a bit of a loose cannon, but this, THIS video makes a Mike Tyson breakdown look normal.  This video makes Jim Rome's sit down with Jim Everett look like Inside The Actor's Studio.  The following interview is such a colossal clusterf*ck that it just has to be seen to be believed.  After that opening exchange, the interview takes a trip into Bizarro World and never comes back until Sonnen finally walks off his remote location during Take #2.  Among the highlights from Sonnen...

"You might want to take the bass out of your tone, I'm not sure you know who you're talking to here."

"What show am I on here, is this for public radio?"

"Should we just redo this, or do you just want to go on the air and look like a fool?"

"Is that how you guys do business in Canada?  'Cause in my country that created business, offers expire... you guys probably don't do that in socialism, but in America, in a capitalistic society, that's how things work."

I suppose Chael Sonnen has never heard of the Silk Road or any other operation of business pre-1776.  Good for him.  And those quotes are only from the first attempt at the interview.  It gets better in Part II...

Boston Red Sox play-by-play announcer Don Orsillo re-signed for four more years, continuing his partnership with analyst Jerry Remy.

Yeah, yeah, that's nice, but what about that bodacious blonde Heidi Watney, you ask?

Well, according to the same release, she will not be returning to the Red Sox next year, leaving the organization with nothing redeeming but beer and fried chicken: 

Watney, whose contract had also expired, is leaving to work for Time Warner Cable in southern California. Time Warner Cable lured the Los Angeles Lakers away from Fox Sports West and KCAL-TV last February with a landmark 20-year deal said be worth in excess of $2.5 billion.

 Watney will work as a sideline reporter on the Time Warner Cable Laker telecasts, beginning with the 2012-13 season. She had worked on NESN's Red Sox telecasts and other Red Sox programming for the past four seasons. Her new job allows her to return to her native California.

The end of Watney's time as a Red Sox field reporter is said to have been a mutual move so the former Miss California could be closer to home. Of course, there were the rumors that she 'dated' players during her time with the team, Jason Varitek in particular, which may have been a determining factor in the end. Just last month, when the Red Sox were being blown up, Watney apparently went against company policy by commenting on the resurfaced rumors. She RT'd Red Sox related news as recent as Tuesday and hasn't updated her profile's info. When someone asked her for an update on her contract status this week, Watney responded that she was on vacation and told people via hashtag not to jump to conclusions. Hmmm. 

If only Boston could find a way to get rid of Dan Shaughnessy:
