Dick Stockton likes Out of Bounds
...posted by David Jacks...
Twice in the first quarter Dick Stockton, announcing a play on the sideline, said “he failed to get out of bounds.” He then repeated this phrase early in the third quarter. When did getting out of bounds, when time is not a factor, become an issue?
Later, in the 4th quarter, Troy Aikman noted that Plaxico Burress had the wherewithal to stay in bounds when the clock did matter. Stockton did not reply, further cementing the theory that he only likes players who get out of bounds.
Many Giant fans feel Troy Aikman has a Cowboy Bias. I am not here to decide whether or not that is true, but when discussing the upcoming game he did mention, that despite a Cowboy win, they were struggling mightily. Troy also backed Kenny Phillips on the “hitting a defenseless receiver” call. He later sarcastically jabbed the officials, when he stated, that technically Nate Washington was also defenseless when James Butler nailed him from behind.
