Quote:Oh sorry for the confusion, the term " Garbage Time" has been around since the beginning of football.

 

 

Quote:I seriously doubt this, but I get your point. I prefer a glass half-filled, so I look at it as Blake and the rest of the offense competing until the final whistle.

The phrase <i>garbage time</i> is one of a number of commonly used basketball terms, each of which is thought to have either been coined by broadcaster Chick Hearn, or first given widespread exposure through Hearn's adoption of it for use during his broadcasts.^[5

 

 

so sometime after the 50's and before the 2000's.

 

 

Also....

 

<b>Garbage time</b> is a term used to refer to the period toward the end of a timed sporting event that has become a blowout when the outcome of the game has already been decided, and the coaches of one or both teams will decide to replace their best players with substitutes.^[1] This serves to give those substitutes playing time experience in an actual game situation, as well as to protect the best players from the possibility of injury.^[2]

 

A score that gets you within a score and gives you a chance to tie or take a lead shouldn't be considered garbage time.

Neither should a score with a lead while starting defenses are going against ya.

 

So... I'd say Bortles had... like 5 or 6 "garbage time" TDs.

 

 

And yeah... every QB has em...

Peyton Manning had a nasty one, in a Superbowl.
