ReplyDeleteGranted, it's very hard to speak off the cuff for 3 1/2 hours at a time, unless you're Vin Scully of the Dodgers.
ReplyDeleteBut some of these things are a case of announcers (Mark Jones, in particular) trying to sound smarter than they really are.
Brandon Minor is a very durable back, when he's healthy.- Kirk Herbstreit
ReplyDeleteI bet Fred Taylor is durable too when he's healthy.
