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

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've said it before and i will say it again:
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?

he is not in the video, but the video drips of the shmaltz that he brought to the station.

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.

Lol I saw that.. "What kind of f****** question is that" Then some random reporter come running up behind him, excited by the cuss language, and shoves a recorder in his face...
