Wow! That's gotta be Lee Corso. |
Saniterry Beach, CA - The
Annoyance Foundation said Tuesday that after extensive testing
of television sports viewers, only one ESPN
announcer, Dan Patrick, actually registered
an acceptable number on their annoyance meters. The rest
of them garnered responses ranging from "please turn
him off" to "who does this f*%king guy think he
is?!" ESPN's NFL announcer Chris
Berman, who ventured over to Major League
Baseball during the World Series,
registered one of the strongest responses for those telecasts,
garnering from a Red Sox fan the infamous,
"If I had to commit murder/suicide to save the life
of my wife and baby, I would shoot Berman and then kill
myself" response, which is very rarely a 'checked box'
on the AF test form. The most popular checked response by
the over 400 people surveyed was, "Why the hell are
they all trying to tell some stupid story, can't they just
give the freaking score?!" A woman actually attempted
to strangle Stuart Scott through the television
set and was taken to USC Emergency Cosmetic
Surgery Center, given sedatives and a chin tuck and released.
In all, 43 announcers got unnacceptable readings on the
annoying scale, with only Patrick garnering positive response,
the most complementary being, "at least this guy's
not shouting at me."
