You can pack up your excavation tools, bag & tag the bones and congratulate yourself on a job well done.And don't we appreciate it when a commentator comes along, describes the game well, takes us on the emotional ride of the game well... and has left his/her ego & self-importance outside the commentary box.(did you like the archaeological reference )
