THOM BRENNAMAN NARRATES D-DAY
Thom Brennaman: And they’re off the boats. Welcome to D-Day.
My that’s some bombardment there. There’s men firing guns, and some other men firing guns. And there’s a beach, and boats, and men coming out of the boats.
Please watch Prison Break, the most exciting show on Fox. It’s really exciting.
D-Day, brought to you only as Fox can!
The Americans seem to be laying down here. Yes, they’re laying down. Some of the men aren’t moving. This is because they’ve been shot by the Germans. They Germans are firing guns at the Americans.
Charles Davis: Wow! Bang!
Thom Brennaman: And now there’s a mortar being fired. The shell goes into the mortar, and at that point it flies out of the mortar. It goes into a crowd of people. Wow, they don’t look. Happy.
And here’s a tank. It’s a big thing with a lot of metal on it and people don’t seem to be very happy with it.
Charles Davis: No they don’t, Thom! That tank is tanky!
Thom Brennaman: More shooting. There’s screaming, and man that guy can scream. He’s screaming because he’s shot. You’re looking live at D-Day, brought to you by Fox.
Charles Davis: Exploding is explosive, Thom.
Thom Brennaman: Yes, it is. I don’t condone any of this, because it is bad.
Charles Davis: Yes it is.
Thom Brennaman: Yes, bad is bad. And good things are good.
Charles Davis. Yes.
Thom: Yes. There’s a lot of men shooting here. Wouldn’t you agree, Charles?
Charles: …
Thom: Charles?
Charles: Sorry, your voice is so lulling. Even with all the gunfire, you put me to sleep like a fistful of fucking vicodin, Thom
Thom: Yes. Gunfire. Vicodin. Back after this commercial break.

I have never liked Brennaman, and he really sucked the other night. I am just sick of most announcers, period. They just say too many stupid things. I have to turn down the sound. The only one that I really like is Brad Nessler.

“Why does Georgia hate America? Because beating Hawaii like this is bad for America.”
Okay, Thom only said the second sentence, but the second one was implied by the rest of his ridiculous rant.

I’ll admit it was bad, but when you take a baseball anouncer, and put him in a shit game like that, you are going to struggle.
Reds in 2008!

At least Thom didn’t refer to the Allies as the Gators…

god they were awful..it was obvious Brennan hadn’t watched a college game all year. The other guy was better but not by much.
The funniest thing all night was all the SEC quarterbacks at the game (Fran, the Snake and Archie) all looked like they had just dropped a hit acid before the game.

Eirishis, #44, thanks for the correction. Two mistakes in the same post. Now I know how the midget Michigan running back felt when he fumbled twice at the 1-yard line yesterday.
Interesting comment regarding Keith Jackson. Why can’t some network just bring him in to be the third man in some sort of meaningless bowl game telecast? Someone could just wake him up during fumbles, kick-offs, and TD’s. Whoa Nellie!

Odell-
Let’s see…Thom’s entire routine last night centered on 1) OMG HAWAI’I IS TOTES AWESOME! and 2) Well, maybe they aren’t, but they try hard and have very interesting backstories!
How, exactly, is this not shilling? This was EXACTLY the FOX party line for this game.

EZ, #46:
You get their dropzone location right (Ste Maire Eglise) right, yet blow the division number? (82nd Airborne, btw) Come on man. I sentece you to 10 games of “Axis and Allies” as penance for your sin.

#45 Edsall, I really enjoyed the interview of Neuheisel at the Rose Bowl. He was really relevant considering he is not coaching, nor will he be coaching, either team that was playing in the game.
When Too Cool For School Herbstreit asked Neuheisel to give some coaching advice to Zook I thought that was disrespectful. I would love to see Herbstreit line up against the Zooker. Zooker would eat him for lunch.
