SPORTS TALK

by Bill Seguin

January 11, 2008

So here we are with about three more weeks of football.

Let me tell you what about football announcers. Don't expect proper punctuation here as the snow is just too good in Aspen.

So here we go again, let me tell you what, what in the hell is what and why do you have to say it 35 times while you announce the game? If it’s not what, then, let me tell you something, that is not as severe as what, but why don't you just tell me that and skip the what and the something. Then you can move on to let me tell you this. Then you can say, that said, and go 180 degrees in the opposite direction and you are probably bullshitting both ways.

You might consider instead of saying, that said, say, what said because you really just told us what. Well there can be no argument, in sports there is always an argument and then when you say without question, I may have a question. But that really does say it all, if that is true it might be time for you to shut up and allow your viewers to watch the game.

But you must understand, I think I will understand when I feel like understanding. I was going to say, well, we know you are paid to say, just skip the verbal tic and say it.

And finally, I will be honest with you. That is a nice thing to do, but when you get ready to lie to me will you warn me? Where do they learn this stuff?
