But the product in the booth isn't - and, as you point out, it's hardly all John & Suyzn's fault. <br /><br />It is not nearly enough to say, "It could be worse." But, as we've seen, it could be Joe Buck and, well, anybody. At least the color "man" isn't some dipstick who knows nothing about the sport other than that he used to be good at playing it, like Ken Harrelson, Matt Millen, or, God forbid, soccer's intolerable Michael Owen.Uncle Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11618876073064128027noreply@blogger.com
