The latest annoying Brent Musburger habit in a long litany of annoying Brent Musburger habits
>> Thursday
I usually try to refrain from ripping on-air talent (unless it's a total dumbfuck like Darrin Jackson or Tim McCarver) because I realize it's tough to be under a spotlight for two or three hours straight, especially nowadays when asshole bloggers are ready to pounce on your follies within minutes.
But I think--and correct me if I'm wrong guys--that Musburger is pretty unanimously reviled among the members of this blog, so I'm gonna get nitpicky.
A couple football seasons ago he was saying, "uhhhh...." every three or four words, possibly because he was drunk. ("Hello, Pot. My name is Kettle. Vinnie Kettle. You are black, and I think less of you because of that particular trait, even though I embody it as well." Friends and other people who have heard me speak will understand the hypocrisy of this criticism--the "uhhh" thing, that is--but it's not very acceptable when you're a well-paid PBP man doing the biggest games in a number of sports.)
Apparently, his new thing is referring to every player by just his first name. Tonight during the Wisconsin-Indiana game, it's been "Trevon!" "D.J.!" "DeAndre!" all game long. Hey, Brent--Not everyone is a "Michael," "Kobe," "'Sheed," or "Yakov."
Ok, this was super-nitpicky, and I rambled like a bastard. Sorry.

No, it is not nitpicky at all...it is annoying as hell. I first noticed it this fall when he did a USC game and "John David" was dropping back and "John David" was looking deep and "John David" was showing alot of poise in the pocket. "Raymar" (Morgan of Michigan State) seems to be his favorite player tonight.
This post is exactly what I am interested. Keep up the good work. We need more good statement. Really I am impressed from this post.ft lauderdale cubicles
