Somewhere NAFTA is sipping a cocktail smiling while WaltFrazier whimpers quietly in a corner looking at his poster collection of retired NBA players.


:D I nearly spit up my coffee at my desk reading this. :lol:

I skipped to the end of this thread when I read that the critics worked for FOX. You know, as in FOXNEWS, an oxymoron.

Let's face it, the prime criterion for working at a US network is to look pretty, particularly for women. The next criterion for most of the regional NBA and NHL broadcasters is to be a certified homer.

One in 10 NBA broadcasters is competent. The rest are just blowhards, pretty boys and girls (hey Marv Albert, which one are you today!), and former players who crawl from the bar to the mike and then regale us how much better the game was in the good old days.

you clearly aren't an NFL fan or your cornea have been eroded by tv radiation.

Chris Berman is pretty? Joe Buck? Hubie Brown? and that manwoman Sheryl Wusshername who used to do those awful halftime player interviews and would tower over NBA players?

i am scared to meet your girlfriend

at least you guys didn't grow up in Winnipeg, having to wash Rod "The Stache" Black - Transcona's finest - do our sports.

This is the legacy he left on our CTV station, CKY:

How is that his legacy? I didn't see him anywhere there (unless I missed him)? Did he come up with the idea?

Our media guys are like the idiot who asked "Was that scary?" during the Zednik incident with Jokinen. He came back and said "what kinda f**cking question is that". lol

Like who the hell asks a stupid question like that? That's something the stupid Toronto reporters would ask...

sigh, it is indeed an embarrassment.
