on usa today<\/strong><\/span>‘s for the win<\/strong><\/span> blog, chris chase<\/strong><\/span> about a matt lauer<\/strong> interview on the today show<\/strong> with seattle seahawks<\/span><\/strong> head coach pete carroll<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n

chase believes that lauer asks “fine\u00a0questions and follow-ups<\/em>” (follow-ups<\/em><\/strong> are questions generated during the course of the conversation by carroll’s answers). and that the is worthy<\/strong><\/em><\/a> () of twenty minutes of your time.<\/p>\n

seattle seahawks head coach pete carroll talks to matt lauer about how super bowl xlix ended.<\/em><\/h6>\n

at the beginning of the video, carroll explains that he has needed to be accountable<\/strong><\/em><\/a> (ready with an explanation, responsible) in the days since the super bowl. \u00a0at the same time, as the headline of the article says<\/p>\n

Pete Carroll insists he didn’t blow the Super Bowl<\/em><\/h1>\n

blow it<\/a><\/strong> <\/em>is an idiom that means failing to take\u00a0advantage of an opportunity<\/em>.<\/p>\n

in\u00a0defense of his decision to pass the ball rather than<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0(instead of<\/em>) give it\u00a0to running back marshawn lynch<\/strong><\/a> inside the one-yard line\u00a0in the final minute of super bowl xlix<\/strong>, carroll addressed the situation hypothetically<\/a><\/p>\n

the call<\/a> would have been<\/em> a great one if we catch it. it would have been<\/em> just fine and nobody would have thought<\/em> twice about it.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

later in the interview\u00a0lauer asks him if 5 years down the road he will be thinking (also hypothetically) about what coulda, shoulda been<\/a><\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n

comparing carroll in this interview to how he was facing the media\u00a0immediately after the game, chase commented<\/p>\n

this was not the hyper, rambling<\/em> (but still classy<\/em>) coach we heard in the minutes after the game.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

rambling<\/a><\/strong><\/em> can be used to describe someone who loses focus and speaks\u00a0longer than necessary<\/em>. classy<\/strong><\/em><\/a> means respected<\/em> or with style<\/em>.<\/p>\n

additionally, chase notes\u00a0that carroll<\/p>\n

neither<\/em> criticizes his own players for the play\u2019s poor execution, nor<\/em> praises <\/a>malcolm butler for his amazing interception.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

neither….nor<\/strong><\/em> is used to present two alternatives\u00a0that didn’t happen. it is the negative equivalent of\u00a0either…..or<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n
