The Word According to Miller

The guy is starting to make sense - or maybe we're learning to keep up. After six weeks in the booth, "Monday Night Football's" Dennis Miller has taken it down a notch in the obscure-reference department. Last week, he did refer to Roosevelt's New Deal, but big deal. Miller's lines are fit to be stolen:

"Barbara Billingsley as June Cleavage": Not a bad line when the camera spots a female in the stands wearing a Vikings jersey with faux breasts attached. Juvenile, sure. But this is football.

"The replay rule makes the infield fly rule read like Hemingway": Hemingway wrote short, clear sentences; the replay rule is long and confusing. And we got it the first time.

Our work here is done.
