I hope it's not one of our players put out with a season ending injury when a Dogs player crashes into their legs like that.
And I'm not sure how many Friday night games I'm going to be able to sit through this season. Bruce gets more saccharine every year, and Carey does nothing to pull him back. If anything, he seems to join in. They were wetting themselves this evening over players executing basic skills, and claimed at one point that a simple tap on by a Dogs player was just "one of those things you can't teach". It was a tap on, for goodness sake. A constructive one, sure, but not much different to what you'll see a dozen or times every match.
