If you watched that awful Chicago Bears and Minnesota Vikings game on Monday night in which there were turnovers galore and barely any offense to speak of on either side of the ball, you weren’t alone.
Because imagine calling that game! Joe Buck and Troy Aikman were on the mic as they usually are for ESPN, and when the final whistle sounded after one of those multi-lateral final plays from the Vikings that failed, the announcers had an exchange that nailed it.
“… And with the Benny Hill music playing in the background, this game is over,” remarked Buck, with a heaviness you could feel through your TV.
“Thankfully,” Aikman replied.
Yup. Couldn’t agree more:
"And with the Benny Hill music playing in the background, this game is over."
"Thankfully."
