Woah, Nellie.

Awww damn. Enberg, now Jackson. This blows.

Lot of great memories. Him and Enberg back to back. This really sucks.

"I live by what my grandfather once told me about awards," Jackson said. "'If you can't eat it, drink it, cash it or sleep with it, don't worry about it."

I really enjoyed his laid-back style - even his "whoa, Nellie" was laid back by today's standards - but his ability to ignore even the worst blown calls sometimes drove me nuts.
C'mon, Keith, stop covering for the refs. Sometimes they blow it.
