Announcers are pretty annoying and last week we lost a great one.  That’s right boys and girls I’m talking John Madden.  Sure he wasn’t fancy but like your high school girlfriend he hit you with the facts, knew what was under your clothes, and gave you the impression you’d be together forever.   He had his fun phrases and some of them might be annoying but he was smart.  There is nothing smart however, about the current state of announcers and their phrases.  If I have to hear someone say one more time “he had the presence of mind to…” I’m going to jump off a fucking bridge.  ”He stepped on third then had the presence of mind to throw home…”  What?  That is his job!  He is supposed to think of what to do with the ball.   That’s like saying a Doctor performed a heart transplant then had the presence of mind to stich the guy up.  Way to go Doc!   As Chris Rock used to say “You’re supposed to do that!”   So have fun with your college girlfriend; she might give you some laughs and a few new things you haven’t done before but it is sure to end up with a rash and Joe Buck souvenirs.   So for John Madden, I leave you with Boom!   Also ha-ha to Frank Caliendo for losing another one of his impressions.  I’m sure this will stop him like Bill Clinton being President over 8 years ago stopped him from doing him nonstop.  Or William Shatner or Jack Nicholson…wait he still does all those people?

So have fun with your college girlfriend; she might give you some laughs and a few new things you haven’t done before but it is sure to end up with a rash and Joe Buck souvenirs.  

So for John Madden, I leave you with Boom!  

Also ha-ha to Frank Caliendo for losing another one of his impressions.  I’m sure this will stop him like Bill Clinton being President over 8 years ago stopped him from doing him nonstop.  Or William Shatner or Jack Nicholson…wait he still does all those people?
