    [rquoter]Houston radio play-by-play man Craig Ackerman celebrated the occasion with a dig at Kobe's comment, in the process coining a catchphrase sure to sweep the nation: "The game is over! The game is over! The Lakers have just pooped their big-boy pants!"[/rquoter]

    Not sure if Ackerman wants to be known nationally for this particular phrase, but that would be cool nonetheless. :)

    I've been listening to him more on the radio this season than in past years, and he just does a fantastic job. He's a homer, of course, but in a good way, and he's very clever with some of his nicknames for players and is generally entertaining to listen to. Also, he really knows his Rockets history so that's a plus.

    "He's not a cookie; he's not a cracker; he's Von Wafer!" or something like that.

    Someone mentioned other radio shows commenting. What'd they say?

    Colin cowherd was being sly about it. He played the clip over &Over, laughing & saying how great it is, but then said "Broadcast historians will rank this as the second greatest call of all time", then played the miracle on ice call followed by big boy pants call over & over so that you know he's being sarcastic.

    Looks like Morris almost almost pooped his too :grin:

    Sampson's reaction is priceless. Maybe he was just showing Barwin and Cody his Bulls on Parade impression.

    The national media is loving it. It's innocent because you can't help but think about a toddler and not in a gross way.
