Lowry got off to a snappy start with an article today that took on some of Today's NBA Broadcasters. (But again, as is often the case with FoxSports.com...it was hard to find the piece) Some highlights:
Take a color guy like Hubie Brown, who can go minutes without uttering a sentence with both a noun and verb or anything resembling identifiable English.
In fact, a lot of what Brown says sounds vaguely dirty — like this observation about Spurs center Tim Duncan: “He’s such a major threat down on the box area, once he gets the ball and he turns on you, see how he comes right up into your face.” Ouch.
A former coach, [Jeff] Van Gundy has some sharp insights but regularly obscures them with schtick, as if he’s auditioning for the George Costanza role on “Seinfeld.” [Mark] Jackson, meanwhile, has adopted an empty catchphrase — “Momma, there goes that man!” — that he repeats frequently enough to inspire an online petition begging him to stop.
If we can find Brian's column on a regular basis - this should be good. Good luck, Lowry.
