That hurts
DAMN, THAT BOY NEEDS SOME WORK!!!
I just don't understand how he got the job in the first place. Didn't they test him?
Imagine how he felt during that broadcast, knowing that his childhood dreams of being a sports announcer were going down the tubes at that very moment, and that tens of thousands of people were watching in horror.
My favorite part is the end, where the two anchors are trying to pretend that they have not just witnessed the single worst performance in the history of television news, and the poor shlub is just sitting there in a daze.
That was so bad I could not watch it all. Felt sorry for the poor guy. He should have just taking the opportunity to stand up, drop trow, moon the camera and scream "I SUCK!"
That was painful!
tens of thousands might be a little off...looks like a small news station
I was pretty bad on the sidelines.
It's obviously a college station. He's probably just an undergrad student getting experience.
If you want to see a truly BAD sports announcer, watch Armen Keteyian of CBS cover the Tour de France this summer. Watching that guy has me wanting to scratch my own eyes out.
and BOOM goes the dynamite
what a great/shitty line
another vid worth watching on that site is the brit video "is this the way to amarillo."
made by brit soldiers in iraq.
Like there's any way anyone can possibly know that Napoleon.
I had this one as a separate thread, but it got deleted for some reason. This is pants-wetting funny:

That was classic. He obviously wanted that to be his trademark line.
The video does show how difficult that job is and how well you have to prepare to make it look easy.
He was on the Late Show with David Letterman one time. He said that the guy who regularly did it never showed up. It was a tiny broadcast with like 5 people watching.
When you see someone on TV remember how much practice they have to make it look easy--especially when done live.
I did a live public access TV show one time. Man, it was hard to do every week.
This kid is from Ball State, isn't he?
I doubt I could do a lot better, although I think I'd have scrapped the script and just talked as I went along, it was his trying to read the script that killed him.
You guys are missing the plus side. If we had him as the on-air commentator during track meets, we could watch the meet and he would be silent most of the time. That way we wouldn't have to put up with the stupidity that's broadcasting now.
Too Funny.
