Harrison called Terrell Owens ``a clown who's more concerned about individual stats than team success.'' He said the Wildcat ``is a joke for Michael Vick. He's lost his quickness.'' On Jason Campbell, Harrison said, ``I don't know what the Redskins see in this guy. He's a backup quarterback elevated to a starter.''

And Harrison even admitted as a player, ``a couple times, I was afraid to hit [Giants running back] Brandon Jacobs.''

Dungy explains replays in clear, concise terms and surprisingly has second-guessed coaches. When the Vikings ran on a third-and-6 late against Baltimore, Dungy said, ``Brad Childress can't make this call. You can't call a draw. You've got to let Brett Favre win the game.''

Dungy said two weeks ago that Titans coach Jeff Fisher should have benched Kerry Collins and started Vince Young; said Buffalo's defensive players ``looked like they didn't want to tackle Miami's backs''; and criticized Cleveland's Eric Mangini (before their quarterback switch): ``How can you say you're not changing anything?'' after such a poor start.

• ESPN's Ron Jaworski has a more critical edge than Gruden, and that sometimes translates into sharper analysis. One example: In the Dolphins-Jets Monday night game, Gruden said, ``Nice job on a Chad Henne check down.'' But Jaworski said, ``No. Henne had a chance for a long downfield throw. He went to the check down too soon.''

• Football season lowlights: Worst abuse of the language -- Fox's Troy Aikman, who likes to say a player ``was shooken up.'' Ugh. . . . Worst brain lock: CBS' Rich Gannon, for telling us Cincinnati would need to kick off to Cleveland if it made a field goal late in overtime. (Um, no, the game would be over, Ian Eagle reminded him.).

Oddest mistake: ABC's Brent Musburger telling us in the UM-Oklahoma game that an overpass was being built on the grounds of the Orange Bowl. (Didn't anyone in ABC's crew know enough to tell him that's where the Marlins stadium is going?). . . . Most delinquent analysis: On the UM-Central Florida game, CBS College's Aaron Taylor felt badly for a UCF defender who was faked out on a play and announced he would not mention his name. Are you kidding, Aaron?

Most fraudulent analysis: Fox's Tony Siragusa saying Giants quarterback Eli Manning ``got hit pretty hard. He really got rolled up,'' before replays showed he hadn't been touched. Siragusa didn't correct himself, but at least Darryl Johnston did. . . . Most tiresome analysis: Announcers telling us repeatedly that teams must avoid third-and-long, as if some teams love to be in that situation. Johnston said that repeatedly in the Vikings-Steelers game, as if he had unearthed a profound nugget.
