Double tri-latteral football

Bob Lagesse has the best stranger-than-fiction ending to a football game I've seen.Go watch his video on Stuffleufagus. However, I think he's wrong on the point of grammar.I didn't catch the phrase on the vid clip, but Bob quotes the announcer as saying,"doing a Trinity." Bob comments that the announcer effectively turned Trinity,a noun,into a verb. Sorry Bob, but I'm pretty sure the verb is "doing."

Comments

@Shel - I didn't make my post clear - the comment about "doing a Trinity" was not made during this college football game - it was made several days later, during last night's Monday Night Football game between Denver and Green Bay. That's a huge audience, and I wouldn't be surprised if we don't hear many "miracle"-type plays referred to as "doing a Trinity" in the future.
