I wish people appreciated the Michael Irvin on TV experience more. His one-liners and Prime later on with the highlights are gold, Jerry. But WE'RE LOSING RECIPES! Berman and them have run everyone into the ground maybe.

Gloves help. But if you can't catch at all, you can't catch. And even if you can kinda sorta catch, it is tougher when coverage, interference, the legit fear of getting blown up, bad throws and/or fatigue are factors.
But folks are out of their minds if they think ODB ain't a catching fool.
