   While they don’t throw a flag in this situation, I am pleased with the correct use of “touchback.” Garry Trudeau of Doonesbury fame confused it with a safety.

   Bravo to Hillburn for getting it right.From a blog post years ago:

   OK, we’re going to go over this one last time…

   It’s “Colly Birds”, not “Calling Birds”. What IS a “Calling Bird”, anyway?

   Go ahead and pronounce it, “in egg-SHELL-cious Dei-Oh”. It’s easier to say, is actually proper, and doesn’t refer to the Minnesota Wild’s Arena Sponsor.

   And…

   It’s not a song about a bunch of “Merry Gentlemen”, it goes “God Rest Ye Merry, (comma) Gentlemen.” It’s all about the punctuation.

   Come on people. We only have ten days left.

   Sing with all your heart, but sing correctly.

   The time he was doing the play by play and messed up introducing his color commentator. The strip would never get published today, but his partner’s response was brilliant!

   So, people miss not having cup holders. That must be why they got rid of them. The customer is always right, even if your grammar isn’t.

    Lot of funny to unpack in this one. Delightful, especially if you read the lower text box in a “Ron Howard-Arrested Development” voice.
