Just about everything that could go wrong did go wrong for Jim Nantz at the end of Sunday's Jets-Patriots game. As the referee was reviewing the game's final play to seal a Patriots victory after a Mark Sanchez fumble, Nantz called the result a "stunning" victory... which is a bizarre thing to say seeing as how the Patriots were the ones favored at home. Things then made a bit more (or less) sense when after official confirmation, Nantz triumphantly proclaimed the New York Jets standing alone at the top of the AFC East.
D'oh.

CBS announcer Jim Nantz loves to script his endings, and in this case, it looks like the practice backfired on him.
Nantz completely butchered his call for the ending of the New England Patriots-New York Jets game on Sunday, saying not once, but twice that the Jets had won. The Jets, in fact, lost 29-26 in overtime when Mark Sanchez lost a fumble following a Patriots field goal...

Sigh…yesterday’s NY Jets 26-29 OT loss to the New England Patriots was tough to digest. Actually, it still is. Mark Sanchez and co. had so many opportunities to pull out the win, but just couldn’t get it done. And as everyone knows, when you’re playing against Tom Brady, you have to play for the win. Not for the tie, or not to...
