Grant and Jerry are both talking about how Miller just doesn't have his head in the game right now.

I would bench his *** for the rest of the game. He HAS to learn to control his temper and quit the bleepig pouting and arguing with the officials. G & J admit the officiating has sucked but that's not the point. IMHO. Miller's outbursts have totally turned this game around, thrown off the rhythm and gotten the crowd into the game.

Grrrr.

To be honest I am quickly losing my respect on Brad game by game...
