Via It's Always Sunny in Detroit:

Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network was just doing his job of overanalyzing Sunday night’s game between the Packers and Texans when a football fell from the sky and drilled him in the face.

Yes Ian, we all saw the ball hit you in the face and we thank you for it. But really, you should really be counting your blessings, Ian. We all remember how Marcia Brady looked after her face met an errant football.

  • "Drilled" him in the face? Perhaps the biggest exaggeration in journalism history.
  • Yahoo! Sports was saying the same thing. Looked to me like it hit him the the arm that was holding the microphone and maybe his chest. Sure didn't hit him in the face. Lying and exaggeration have become the stock in trade for journalism nowadays. Sad.
  • Face? Arm? Glad the guy that put in the tital isn't my doctor.
  • Sorry, that's title.
  • Kudos to him for a great reaction; he just smiled and kept going.
  • It hit him in the arm and chest. What's with this "drilled him in the face" nonsense?
