I'm Still the Best at Being the Worst, Thank You Very Much

DEADSPIN enjoys what they're calling one of the worst penalty kicks of all time. Since it's soccer, which nobody here gives a shit about, they're mostly getting a kick out of the announcers being honest:
  • It's a dreadful miss.
  • Jason Puncheon has blown it.
  • It's an awful strike.
  • Look at that, ugh.
  • It's an awful penalty.
  • One of the worst I've seen.
  • That's a terrible strike.
"But Xmastime", you say in the voice of Craig “Ironhead” Heyward from those soap commercials (RIP), “does this even compare to The Greatest Walk of All Time?" 

Of COURSE not, faithful readers. Try on these gems:
"Oh my god!"

"Talk about a walk in the park, eh Bob?"

"I've seen players get rattled before, but wow."

(5 minutes later, after a commercial)

"Boy, how bout that walk by Wilson?"  "Unbelievable, Jerry. Wow."

(10 minutes later. Still shaking their heads.)

"Wilson thought it was still football season!"

"I mean, that had to be the greatest walk of all time, right Bobby?"
