I wish I could remember some of the more humorous stupid things we’ve heard commentators say this year. We are Bama fans, and hubby will watch games over and over again. That way we can hear the stupidity over and over again, too. I don’t know why hubby doesn’t turn the volume off, but there have been times when we have laughed so hard that I was crying due to the stupid things genius commentators say.
I do want to put in a plug for Todd Blackledge who is the least stupid of commentators. Maybe we love him most because he loves to come to Bama games and speaks highly of the experience. I also have come to like Gary Danielson. My least favorite of the big-time game announcers are Herbstreit (sp?) and his cohort who has been doing this forever but his name escapes me. They say the dumbest things. Ah yes. It’s Brent Musberger (sp?). Ugh.
Honestly, most of these men played ball at the college and pro level and should be able to just describe what is going on with little effort. Instead they just repeat worn out phrases and probably are more concerned with how much air time they get as opposed to the other guy in the booth.
