Since I just spent about 90% of the last 48 hours watching sports and listening to wordsmiths such as Tim McCarver, Joe Rogan, and Pam Oliver (did you see her just after the half of the Steelers/Giants game? UPDATE: Apparently someone did!), I got to wondering if things were really as bad out there in the rest of the sports world when it comes to announcing or reporting on sports. So I headed to the Interweb, did a little research and here’s what I found…
While the people I listened to this weekend were bad, at least they knew they were on the air…
Maybe it’s worse when the announcers actually know they suck…
Or not…
At least the people I watched sort of knew what was going on…
And at least Lee Corso didn’t drop an F-bomb on us this weekend…
And the SportsCenter guys didn’t tell someone to F–k off!
Although I can’t speak for ESPNEWS…
And none of the people being interviewed dropped the F-bomb…
Hey, the announcers this weekend actually knew the players names…
And no one wished anyone “continued good sex”
(although that’s not necessarily a bad thing)…
And no one said someone was “kinda gay”…
Or had gay Freudian Slips…
Or pornographic Freudian Slips…
And no one got accosted by a horny ex-quarterback…
And of course, no one said, “Boom goes the dynamite.”
Huh… I guess it really wasn’t as bad as I thought… So, what’s your favorite sportscasting blooper? Share in the comments with a link when possible.

anything ESPNews does is pretty much garbage…there’s stuff happening every ten minutes if you pay attention.

How the heck did you have enough time/energy to track down and embed all those Youtubers? Nice job.

You missed one of the best, also from this weekend.
Fox Sports’ Danyelle Sargent (Yes, the one who dropped the F-Bomb on ESPN News above, and got fired), was interviewing new head coach of the 49ers Mike Singletary. She said: “I heard that your mentor Bill Walsh was one of the first phone calls that you made when you found out that you had the job. What does it mean to you to be the head coach of the 49ers?”
Singletary couldn’t answer. Of course, this was because Bill Walsh died in July, 2007! Sargent just looked blankly around, and said into her earpiece “I’m sorry…oh, I’m sorry. What, what did I, what was wrong?”
That part of the interview was left out of the broadcast (damn tape), but the NFL had made it available. Unfortunately, Fox is shooting down all the online links of it that have been going up.

As for Danyelle Sargent, I did the post before her stuff became readily available, and as for Blyleven, you’re right, but I already had enough F-Bombs so I left it off… It is classic though and deserves mention.
