…either that, or proof that the National Television Academy is totally full of shit :
Joe Buck received an Emmy Award today for Outstanding Play-By-Play.
My favorite out-of-context sentence of the day comes from the New York Sun’s profile of Marvin Hamlisch :
To this day, Mr. Hamlisch remains enamored of sports, especially baseball.
That’s something else he and Steve Garvey have in common, then.
Not until just now did I notice the sheer immensity of Joe Buck’s head. Sure his forehead is big. But the whole dome itself is prodigious: like Sam Cassell’s turned on its side, or an Easter Island statue fitted with pancake makeup and hairspray. I guess it takes a lot of space to store up all that OUTRAGE at flamboyant touchdown celebrations.
Scooter the Talking Baseball was soooo due this year. This is along the same line of bullshit of CSTB not mentioning the Dillenger Escape Plan enough.
