for the third post in a row--let's commence with "ugh"

"ugh"

no, but really... the state of sports announcing is atrocious... in almost all sports... and while taking in a few minutes of today's bears/panthers football contest, i witnessed an announcing faux pas so bad i fell off my couch laughing...

so, here it goes... a little blog one-act play for your enjoyment:

--kyle orton completes a quick pass for a first down--
"look at that protection... you can't give a quarterback all of that time..."
"let's watch this replay here..."
--slow-motion replay of the pass rolls--
"one-one thousand, two-one thousand, three-one thousand, four-one thousand, five-" (real-time counting)
"you can't be giving a professional quarterback time like that to pass..."
--end--

anyway, you think they would have covered slow motion footage in announcer school...

just ridiculous...

and with that, let's continue with the photo serious of my life here,








these lovely folk are some of my friends here at the wfmc/wfmms... this is us hanging out a binkey's on a monday night... left to right: ryan (surgeon-to-be extraordinaire), matt (masterful vocalist and medical prodigy), katie (the wonderful spirit and incredible talent, as well as wife to), Dave (who's 27th b-day was just celebrated last night... he's a dentist now being trained in facial surgery--awesome, huh?).

aren't they wonderful?

ok, next time i'll throw up a few more photos of the life and times...

cheers,
