Five stars, blue ribbon and highest honors to the women and men’s ice hockey games announcer at the Olympics. [Editor’s note: we *think* its Mike Emrick Puff is referring to, but we have consumed zero seconds of Sochi except for Tara and Johnny’s Instagram, so correct us if we’re wrong in the comments.]
You could watch and listen or just listen and know what was going on in the game. All athletic announcers should take a lesson. He wasn’t telling them how to play, he was simply describing the plays as they happened. You had no trouble knowing what was happening. He knew the players on the other teams and could call their names out — amazing. NBC should give him a big raise, and ESPN should take a lesson, because their people can’t do it right.
In other news, everyone needs to start paying attention to their teams for March Madness. Last night, Russdiculous threw up the last shot in OT for the Cards’ sliver of a win over Cincinnati, and Kentucky had a hard time getting past LSU. Should be an exciting tournament…
