Ralph: Another missed free throw! I can't believe it! There's no excuse for missing free throws! You're only 15 feet away, everyone else has to stand still, and you can practice in your own driveway! Free throws are important! Lots of games are decided by a point or two! Back in my day, when a guy missed a free throw, he'd hang his head in shame and wait to be traded! Today when you miss a free throw, your teammates give you high-fives! What's that all about?? Would you high-five a golfer for missing a three-foot putt?! I'm not even a basketball player and I practice my free throws!! June: I still might trade you!
And there’s no excuse for THROWING A PASS INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD on 2nd and goal at the 1, when you have two time outs left, great runners, and three shots at the end zone!!!
(The only way I can see any logic in this decision was that Seattle thought it was so stupid that no one would expect it.)
