Some people really don't help themselves.
Last Sunday, Sky Sports' Geoff Shreeves forgot to engage his brain when he entertained the thought that Liverpool's Jamie Carragher would answer anything but "No" upon asked whether he should have been sent off.
Not even Marlon King would have been stupid enough to award himself a three match ban by answering otherwise, although perhaps we shouldn't be too hasty there. King is the man that thought that a punch to the face was going to be a killer chat-up line.
Then Shreeves found himself redundant when Carragher turned the question on his interviewer by asking, "Why, did you?" For one sublime moment of peace and quiet, Shreeves was lost for words, until he bumbled onto his next question.
I happen to think it was a more incisive question than any that Shreeves has managed to come up with in his seventeen years at Sky.
So it would come as no surprise to see Carragher exercising more of his new-found talent on Sky Sports in the coming years... we know they have no standards, they call Jamie Redknapp an expert pundit.
