My views on announcers are well known, I think.  There is almost no game in any sport which I believe is enhanced by a play by play announcer, except maybe for curling or tossing the caber.  The only thing less vital to a broadcast is the color announcer.  There are one or two exceptions to this rule, and you know who they are.  My aversion to announcers is so bad that I generally try to leave the sound off even when it's a radio broadcast.

With that background, I allow my Bruin brothers and sisters to peek at the skeleton in the closet.  My dearest, only son has become (I can hardly stand to say it) a radio color man for football broadcasts.  You can hear him on 99.3 or 99.7 (he wasn't sure), the VINE, doing St. Helena High School broadcasts.  I counseled him (a) not to say "like" or "dude" on the air, and (b) make sure he knows the frequency. 

All I can say is that at least he didn't go to just$c*.
