It’s a Tautology—And More!

It was an amazing NFL game this weekend, Cleveland against Detroit : two of the worst teams in the league playing the most exciting game of the year. In the end, the Lions’ young quarterback Matthew Stafford pulled out the victory with a final touchdown pass, his fifth of the game, with 0:00 on the clock. Lions 38, Browns 37.

But there was this , after the game, in which one notices a metaphor that seems to have gotten a little out of control. “Terrific game,” NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell explained to Sports Illustrated ‘s Peter King . “Fantastic game. Matt [Stafford] is such a good kid, so good for that franchise. That kind of a game can be a game-changer—not just today, but for the Lions’ franchise.”

Yep, that kind of game is a game-changer, all right—and not just for today!
