Message: [QUOTE="36'sq., post: 5403807, member: 9931"] Thank you for saying all of this. I don't appreciate the announcers who are like this. It doesn't "enrich" the experience. Just call the game. I don't need bad and/or offensive jokes. It's strange to me that it goes on and that the networks allow it. It's kind of like the bathroom/frat humor that has taken over so many mainstream Hollywood dude movies. It's just not funny to me. And yeah, jokes about politics or sex tapes is really troubling and shouldn't be happening. I caught the 2nd half of MD v. Ohio State yesterday on Big 10 Network, I think. Some play-by-by guy and Don Zimmerman, a guy who knows the game. He's GREAT! Not flashy, no bro jokes, no references to sex tapes, just talks about lacrosse. That's all I need. "Growing the game" shouldn't be via announcers from a bad, bygone era recycling unacceptable locker room culture for a new generation. [/QUOTE]
