Inspired from the game thread...

In addition to the Jackson ones here: http://basketbawful.blogspot.com/2009/03/mark-jackson-drinking-game.html

Reggie adding "right herrrre" to almost every observation just grates on my nerves.
Hubie "you gotta get player x going" as if the team is deliberately trying to shut them out and the mispronounced names "Rayjon "Tieshawn" "Scalibrin". Does he zone out when the PA announcers say the names correctly or does he just not care?!

Tommy: He's got a line about me. Tell him the line.

Mike: Everybody 60 or over knows Tommy as a player. Everybody 40 or over knows Tommy as a coach. Everybody 20 or over knows Tommy as a broadcaster. And everybody 10 or under thinks he's Shrek.

Currently clicking on your Basketbawful link to see if "Mama, there goes that man" is involved on the Jackson piece.  I still don't have a clue what that means.

Maybe it's more a sign of my lack of hipness than Mark being a bit of a dope, but still... ::)

TP for what should be a fun thread topic, bree.

"Two hands for safety!"
"With no regard for human life!"

Basically anything that comes out of Kevin Harlan's mouth I automatically discard as utter drivel. Each time he calls a game with Lebron or Kobe, it's like he's polishing their knobs.

I agree, whenever anyone mispronounces Rajon's name it drives me nuts.  I don't understand how people doing games at the Garden continue to make this mistake, don't they hear the announcer at the game pronounce it right.


The worst offender of this is Marshall.  They guy works for the team for crying out loud and he still can't get it right.

  • Doc could learn a thing or two from Norman Dale
Cedric Maxwell. 

Pretty much everything out of his mouth is drivel (Dirk is better than Larry, Len Bias' death was divine retribution for trading Gerald Henderson, etc.), but it begins and ends with "Quack quack quack quack quaaaaaaaaccccckkkkk" for me.
