You can hear the pain in his voice as he describes todays athletes doing it better and more spectacular than he ever did it.  And ok there was a great team known for a few years as the big Red Machine.  Joe relishes telling evryone in earshot about their greatness and how they spanked the Yankees in 1976.  Unfortunately, "No neck" Morgan is the perfect example of how a classless individual can bumble and stumble over every word he mumbles and hold his job because of the race card.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28221516/8924242917073619159/comments/default/2421995536130515087'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28221516/8924242917073619159/comments/default/2421995536130515087'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://awfulannouncing.blogspot.com/2008/07/homerun-derby-is-back-back-back.html?showComment=1216153080000#c2421995536130515087' title=''/><author><name>Anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://awfulannouncing.blogspot.com/2008/07/homerun-derby-is-back-back-back.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221516.post-8924242917073619159' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28221516/posts/default/8924242917073619159' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221516.post-136490071011255670</id><published>2008-07-14T22:29:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2008-07-14T22:29:00.000-04:00</updated><title type='text'>as much as i like and respect Rick Reilly, can som...</title><content type='html'>as much as i like and respect Rick Reilly, can someone shut his mic off?  what a freakin moron playing the race card and making DUMB comments...  learn the rules on how they pick players for this thing before you speak.  they need to have a longer delay so espn can bleep out everything he says before it hits the airways.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28221516/8924242917073619159/comments/default/136490071011255670'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28221516/8924242917073619159/comments/default/136490071011255670'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://awfulannouncing.blogspot.com/2008/07/homerun-derby-is-back-back-back.html?showComment=1216088940000#c136490071011255670' title=''/><author><name>pdogg10</name><uri>http://openid.aol.com/pdogg10</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://awfulannouncing.blogspot.com/2008/07/homerun-derby-is-back-back-back.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221516.post-8924242917073619159' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28221516/posts/default/8924242917073619159' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221516.post-8815808647633359945</id><published>2008-07-10T16:16:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2008-07-10T16:16:00.000-04:00</updated><title type='text'>I actually like the Home Run Derby.
