Announcer makes dumb "football guy" comment on Titans-Saints broadcast
When you think of the NFL's best players ever, New Orleans Saints' utility player, Taysom Hill, probably isn't in your top 10–heck, he likely isn't even in your top 20.

When you think of the NFL's best players ever, New Orleans Saints' utility player, Taysom Hill, probably isn't in your top 10–heck, he likely isn't even in your top 20. And quite honestly, he's easy to forget altogether.

Nice try, Tucker.
