My all time favorite sports broadcasting team? It's a trio who used to
announce the St. Louis Cardinals baseball games in the late 60s and early
70s. Can you guess who this would be? Who is your favroite sportscaster?

I guess my favorite announcer has to be Brad Sham.
I couldn't wait to turn down the volume on the TV and
listen to Brad call Cowboys games. I don't think he
does quite as well calling the Rangers now, but he's
still my favorite.
Worst combination has got to be Brent Musberger and
Dick Vermeil calling college football. Have either of these
guys ever seen a college football rule book? During the
Sugar Bowl 2 years ago (Florida-Florida State), I counted
over 20 completely incorrect rule interpretations. No
excuse for their incoherent ramblings about rules that
don't exist at the college level.

But Brent was such good Saturday Night Live skit material.

Did you see the Statesman article today on Max and the speculation as to whether he's really Dribblin' Dick?

Once and for all, let it be read here... Max Miller and Dribblin' Dick Dickerson are two different people! How do these nasty rumors get started?

That settles it then. I think John Herndon, the radio columnist for the
esteemed Snakeskin started the rumor. He states that "they both come to
and left Z-102 at the same time, and both returned to KFON at the same
time. They work the same split shift. Both have the same gravelly voice
and Yankee-something accent (although Dickerson's attitude in in
overdrive). They have identical opinions on such issues as Coach Gustafson,
Big 12 football and the sports department of this newspaper, and they use
the same phrases to express them."
He goes on to say, ". . . Dickerson is the only person in radio that I've
ever known who refuses to have his picture taken" and "one thing seems
certain - you'll never catch them both in the same place at the same time."

Raido sports announcer of the decade(at least in Dolphin land) is
Hank Goldberg,the voice of the Miami Dolphins,at AM 610 WIOD.
The man gets caught up in the game and his no BS
approach makes me turn down the TV and listed to Hank call the game.
I'll be watching a game an remark "Who hired this Bozo"...off goes
the sound and on comes Hank.His mimicing of Howard Cosell is great.

I remember growing up in New York and watching a Met's game and there was no better baseball announcer at that time then, Lindsay Nelson!!

I did check out some of the RealAudio stuff, interesting. I'd like to see Max
to the same thing on his website someday with RealAudio. I'm building a
RealAudio Server at barton.spring.com this weekend (another webserver of ours).

Russ Hodges and Ernie Harwell doing the New York Giants Baseball games from the Polo Grounds...best of all time, with the possible exception of present day John Burnett who can, all by himself dig into his incredible memory and tell story after entertaining story during long and sometimes uneventful baseball games in Hilo!

*BLUSH* Russ Hodges and Ernie Harwell are both in the Baseball Hall of Fame. I am privileged to have my name mentioned even in the same post with theirs, even if it is obvious that you are prejudiced in my favor.

Terry, could those Cardinals announcers (on KMOX Radio) in the late 60s and early 70s have been the late Harry Caray, Jack Buck, (and maybe an upstart kid named Costas)? I'm pretty sure I nailed 2 out of 3. I was a Cubs fan as a kid, but also listened to the "hated but respected" Cardinals on the radio. Loved Caray and Buck, but for years had a hard time with Harry as Cubs announcer because of his background for two "hated" teams (Cards and White Sox). But, Harry being Harry, won me over again. Holy
cow! What's up in Heaven, Harry?

The third was Joe Garagiola, and Tim McCarver joined them later on. This
was as good a sportscasting trio as you could hope for, they all went on
to national prominence. Of course Harry got in hot water for nailing
Auggie Busch's wife (of the beer company) and had to shuffle off to
Chicago. Joe Garagiola, of course, was the former Cardinal catcher.
These guys had an incredible rapport.

Harry later claimed the rumors about nailing Busch's much younger (and beautiful) wife were not true. When asked why he didn't deny it then, he said. "Look at her and look at me. If you were me, would you deny it?" Ironically, Harry kept doing Budweiser commercials for the rest of his life. And I knew I had two out of three. When I listened to them as a child (a little earlier than you), there was no third on the broadcast. Garagiola (a St. Louis native from "Dago Hill" and Yogi Berra's childhood f
iend) was still working with Joe Wolf on NBC's Game of the Week and McCarver (the best color man in the business) was still in the prime of his playing career. Of course, I guessed Costas because he was a St. Louis native and young. I think he actually started his pro broadcast career by doing the old St. Louis Spirits of the American Basketball Association in the mid 70s. He, like many great sports broadcasters, went to Syracuse University, and did Orangemen sports on the campus AM radio station there

Any comments on the Monday Night Football pick of Dennis Miller as the third booth guy instead of Rush Limbaugh. Is Miller a little too acerbic?

Lots - thought I had posted it. John and I discussed the entire deal in ABC's grab for an audience which has many other options including cable. We figured they might do a triple picture in a picture - Barney for the kids, QVC for the Mom, X Sports for the teen boys and in the big screen fore the celebrities stepping all over each other's lines. In this mex perhaps they will allow a little football to sneak through. Don't think much of it, actually. Miller will have to be differennt from what we have seen so far, I think!

I think, if they can keep egos under control, it just might work. I hope they have a backup cast just in case. I would not even bet last night's garbage on this one. Too many unknowns. It takes chemistry to make it work.
