I wouldn't dream of missing The Sports Reporters on ESPN. So imagine my surprise to hear Mike Lupica's creative use of an adjective during a discussion about whether football has gotten more violent. Reacting to the injury sustained by Baltimore's Willis McGahee during a particularly brutal tackle, Lupica described contemporary football as "videogame violent":

The game has become videogame violent and [Pittsburgh's Ryan] Clark was purposely helmet-to-helmet and to call it otherwise is ridiculous and he should be suspended.

Thanks to dingus for actually watching this sports stuff and explaining it to me!
