Spoken by a football-game commentator

[Laurence Horn]

By a different football announcer (during the Giants-Lions game, a
couple of minutes ago), after the Lions decided to go for it on 4th
and 1 instead of kicking a field goal, but then get call for a
five-yard false start penalty:

"Well, that makes *that* a mute point."

So another for the moot point-->mute point eggcorn files, if we
needed any more.
