Re: post here when announcers (or the media) say or do something stupi
In an effort to deflect accusations of racism, I would like to state emphatically that I'm willing to bet money that Michael Irvin can pronounce his own name.

Wow, Steve Young went into a crazy diatribe about the patriots being the best thing in football. Pretty cooky stuff. [/ QUOTE ] I happened to catch this, and it was insane. He looked like he was going to cry.

Re: post here when announcers (or the media) say or do something stupi
Late last night on ESPN Classic they were filming a live show in which they discussed all the great happenings of 2007.
They showed Tulowitzki's unassisted triple-play, to which Kurkjian (who is still going through puberty) said "It's the rarest of the rare. Only happened 13 times. More rare than a perfect game." That is all fine and well but then he added: "And Troy Tulowitzki is the only player in history to have an unassisted triple-play AND hit a triple in the same game."

I can't hate on Timmah for stuff like that. He's a geek about this stuff, and he gets wondefully spastic about it. Yeah, it's stupid trivia, but I think everybody knows that.

I like interesting obscure stats like the next guy. And it was refreshing to have Kurkjian for like, the first few weeks. But his shtick is rapidly wearing thin imo.
Maybe he'll get better when he finally gets through puberty. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I don't watch as much football as you guys, so I was stunned at how retarded some of the announcing was tonight. Luckily, the three guys in the booth were pretty good. But the rest? Stinkola. At halftime, Berman said we were at the quarter-pole of the NFL season. In horseracing, the quarter-pole is a quarter mile in front of the finish line, not a quarter-mile after the start. But at least when something minor like that is said, you can grumble about it for a moment, and move on. Not so when Emmitt Smith opens his mouth. I turned off the post-game coverage after this little riff: (In response to Steve Young's opinion that Randy Moss was overwhelmed by Oakland's expectations of leadership qualities, an expectation he does not have to deal with in New England.) Well, what da situation really is, is when he was out in Oakland, dey was askin'[1] him to do some-din' dat he was not capable of doin'. When he was wit da Minnesota Vikin's, he was led wit Cris Carter leadin' him da way, along, also, Randall Cunnin'ham leadin' da way. Here, in New Englan', it's da same kinda enviro'men'[2]. He has a coach dat he respec's, he has some teammates that can all pick up da slack and carry da loa'[3], and so he's not ashk'd to be a leader. And so therefore[4] he's ashed to make plays when dere's balls t'rown his way. And dat's what he's doin'. [1] That's the last time you'll hear the "s" and the "k" in "asking"--you'll never hear the "g". [2] In Emmitt-Speak, Enviro'men' rhymes with firemen. [3] "Carry da loa'" is easily my favorite three word passage in this post. [4] That was not an oversight--Emmitt actually pronounced the "th-" in "therefore". I wonder if he can pronounce "Smith"?

I like Kirkjian's boyish love of the game. When he was commenting on Baltimore's game in which they gave up 30 runs, his shtick was awesome.
