Pete’s said on multiple occasions that he doesn’t want his starter looking over his shoulder at the backup once the season gets going. No way they split reps

Myles Rice sorta looks the part.

I remember watching a game in ‘91 (or ‘92) and Gary Bender kept saying “Billy Joe Hobart” and ABC even spelled it like that in their graphics.1to392831weretaken said:

This just drives me nuts about announcers in general. You have ONE job, and you fuck it up? It's worse in basketball, where there are only 13 players on each team. Take five fucking minutes, talk to one of each team's coaches, ball boys, statisticians, etc. and make a pronunciation guide. Study it for ten minutes until you have everything right. Do your job and be professional.
Heard Rondeau on the Honks last year, and he described something like this as his process when asked about the increasingly (what?) difficult names. A pro is a pro, but step one is simply giving a shit.
It it seriously that hard to double check these things? Take some pride and be a professional

Keith Jackson was that professional. Everyone else back in the day always screwed up @Swaye 's language, like Puyallup. I always got a chortle outta that.MammaJamma said:

Keith Jackson was the GOAT. I wanted him calling every UW game. Consummate professional, showed no bias (which is what a pro does) and made every game he called into an event without showboating. Always did his homework and called the game in front of him. Basically the complete opposite of any ESPN crew today.MammaJamma said:
