Kevin Harlan, calling the Bengals-Broncos game on Saturday, referred at least twice to guys hurdling other players "like they're Renaldo Nehemiah."
I'm old, so I get the reference, but I couldn't help but wonder how many people who are younger than, say, 60, knew who he was talking about. Nehemiah was a track star who never competed in an Olympics (thanks to the US boycott in 1980) and who played a little football but took his last snap 40 years ago.
I've noticed this a lot lately, announcers who make references to guys who played in the '60s and '70s, which probably sounds a lot to most viewers like it did to me when announcers used to say "he sure looks like YA Tittle" or some such nonsense.
I'm just venting.
