And they were a great announce team. But at the same time, it was sad listening to him make those mistakes during Sunday's broadcast. <br /><br />He should have kept an eye on the scoreboard.

One reason is the whole 'swelled-head' thing. In today's era with 'old media' looking like the Hindenburg at Lakehurst, that act has worn thin. No one respects people across 'old media' anymore.
