Announcer couldn’t stop laughing during Super Bowl broadcast

Announcer couldn’t stop laughing during Super Bowl broadcast

Expressions don't always translate perfectly across borders, as we were reminded during a UK broadcast of the Super Bowl. Joining British host Colin Murray in the booth to offer his insight was former running back Terrell Davis, who suggested at halftime that the Seahawks would be wise to "eat clock."

Instead, the ball hit the backboard and sailed over the outstretched hands of Williams and the crowd rolled back into their seats with laughter.
