[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 587375"] I can't take credit for that for that turn of phrase. I'm not certain, but I believe the phrase caught my ear while watching "A Football Life: Roger Staubach" that aired recently. Clint Longley led a dramatic comeback in relief of an injured Roger Staubach on Thanksgiving Day 1974 that included, among other remarkable feats, a 50 yard Hail Mary to win the game. Since Longley was not known to be the sharpest knife in the drawer and was unprepared to play, his performance was "unconscious" in both the good and bad senses of the word. Dallas offensive lineman Blaine Nye quipped that Longley's performance was "the triumph of the uncluttered mind." Two years later, Longley sucker punched Staubach in the locker room and then literally ran out of the building never to return. Nye was a very bright guy, as you might suspect. He went on to found the Stanford Consulting Group specializing in economic analysis and securities litigation. [/QUOTE]
