Ha ha. I FOOLED THEM! I listened to the game on the RADIO.

Of course I turned the volume down during the commercials. that makes a BIIIg difference in listening enjoyment.

It's sad that Buck and McCarver were willing to sacrifice whatever credibility they had as journalists in this way.

They have no credibility. Here's how it goes -- the worse you are as an announcer the more high-profile games you get to do. Joe Buck is unFUCKINGlistenable. He's fucking terrible. Get him going on some righteous uncause of his and it's even moreso. I don't know a single person who tunes into a broadcast because they want more Tim McCarver. It's uncanny.

I guess they finally dragged Bill Walton off of every single NBA playoff game? I don't know for certain because I hate being in the same room with that guy's voice and have not bothered to watch any NBA games that he's done. That unfortunately means every single big game in the last 10 years.

The three monkeys doing games for ESPN are pretty bad as well and that's infuriating because it's the last thing Joe Lunchpail has to enjoy before he goes back to work for the week. "I tell you what now look at this, look at this right here! I tell you what!!"
