It was an announcer talking out of his ass. The average zoner is way more knowledgeable about this team than an announcer. If you pay attention the color guy will often say weird not quite correct things about us.
I dont know what is going on with Pettis but I'm pretty certain it has nothing to do with him being out of shape. If it was Barrows or Maiocco woulda reported it.
He very obviously got it from Shanahan in the pre-game prep.
That's possible but it isnt "very obvious". Shannahan has been a straight shooter since he's been here and we havent heard one word about Pettis being out of shape. But now Shannahan spills the beans to the announcing crew before a game. I doubt that.
Yeah, possible but not obvious. It seems just as likely to me that the announcer mixed up Pettis with someone else. And, as you said earlier, if he did come in out of shape "Barrows or Maiocco woulda reported it". There's enough to critique Pettis on without bringing up things that aren't likely true.
