The New York Jets continued to make you wonder how it ever was they were one game away from a Super Bowl appearance two years in a row when they got beat pretty badly by the Buffalo Bills. There was an initial feeling of excitement at the start of the game, though, with the Jets having just acquired dynamic kick returner and wide receiver Percy Harvin.
When the game kicked off though, NFL on CBS play-by-play announcer Kevin Harlan tried to add some color commentary by describing Harvin's kick return going directly into "the bright New England sun."
Think on that for a moment. The two teams playing were the Buffalo Bills and the New York Jets. Both teams are in New York. But it was also a home game for the Jets, which meant the game was being played in New Jersey.
Do people outside of New England really have no idea what "New England" - geographically speaking - is? Sure, the New England sun was bright too. Probably because the New England sun is actually no different than the New York sun or the Pittsburgh sun or the Jacksonville sun. (There's only one of 'em.) But still, if you're going to be the play-by-play guy for a major broadcasting network, you should probably figure out where you are first and foremost.
