It’s childish, we’re well aware of that.
But if someone says “they’re blown away by his ability to suck in these balls,” then are we expected to just ignore that? Of course not.
The unintentionally filthy statement came during the Raiders-Steelers game on Sunday when CBS commentator Ian Eagle began gushing with praise for Michael Crabtree’s catching ability.
You’d have thought that such a mistake would go unnoticed among NFL fans, right?
Wrong.
"…and his abilities to suck in these balls."
This is why I love football.

LOL, did Ian Eagle just marvel at Crabtree's ability to "suck in these balls?" #OAKvsPIT

Perhaps if your an announcer for the NFL, referring to a receivers ability to "suck in these balls" isn't the best verbiage #justsayin
