From Nick Halling "in Phoenix" for the Independent comes more evidence that the reportage of indigenous sport should be left to the natives.
We can laugh as long and as loud as we like at the efforts of the Yanks to trivialise the technicalities of football (sorry, soccer), but Halling and the rest of the Brits who are hanging on for dear life to the rear wheels of the NFL bandwagon sure do redress the balance, thus:
"New York's defence made Brady's life a misery throughout, forcing him to throw before he was ready, sacking him five times, and knocking him to the ground. As a result, the ice-cool pass-master had his worst game of the season."
I'm not an aficionado of American Football, but I understand it well enough to know that a sacking invariably means a quarter-back is knocked to the ground.
As for the "ice-cool pass-master", the last time I heard that phrase applied to anyone was in a red-top obit for Johnny Haynes.
