I don't know if you're joking or not, but I think we've all heard announcers hype up a player even when he screws up. Remember Donovan McNabb? He got hurt near the beginning of the season one year. His backup led the team to the playoffs. I think the Eagles had a good defense, or something. Anyway, the next year, McNabb came back and everyone was gushing about how great the team would be. That maybe have been 2004 - didn't they make it to the Super Bowl that year? So, I'm not saying they were wrong. Anyway, there'd be plays where the receiver ran right and he threw it left for an interception. Or stuff like that. And the announcers would talk about how the receiver ran the wrong route. How can they say that's a wrong route? Do they know the play that was called? Or maybe it was a read - McNabb read one thing and the receiver read something else. Well, McNabb threw it to the defender, so I can't be sure he made the smarter choice.
All that to say that if your quote was something that was really said, I can believe it, as dumb as it sounds.
