YouTubesDay: Mike Patrick No Longer Worried About Britney Spears

This is a good thing.

Generally, during crucial moments of tight football games all that noise in the average male college football fan's head goes quiet. We're not thinking about the wife, the girlfriend (or boyfriend if that's your thing), sex, boobs, bills or Britney Spears. Which makes sense, because I assume most of us get our fix on Saturday nights and not from burying ourselves into the latest US Weekly. All we're thinking about is the game.

Not so for ESPN's Mike Patrick who prattled pointlessly about Britney Spears during overtime literally moments before Georgia completed the game-winning touchdown pass. Apparently someone at ESPN got in his ear because he was on his best behavior this weekend.

Faced with calling what would be a last-second game-winning field goal by Auburn against Florida, Patrick's US Weekly part of the brain stayed quiet just long enough for the football side of his mind to stay focused on the game. There are no mulligans but it's nice to see Patrick you know, - focused - this time around.
