But if they do Mike Patrick and Pam Ward, it’s going to be nearly impossible to find two female announcers to even it out.

Thank God the door was closed or else an entire courtroom would have heard me losing it.

C-Train, you forgot Tenuta. How ’bout having him and the Ogeron in the booth with Kines having to play referee. I’d pay money to watch and listen to that.

Similar to blon’s post, are we also going to see the Tom Hammond version of this too?

Did anyone else successfully read that piece keeping Mike Patrick’s voice in their head the entire time?

If you did, and have succeed to exorcise said voice from your brain…

SEND HELP, PLEASE!!!!

Mike Patrick is about as useful as a bag of dicks at a lesbian convention

They need to bring back Gary Thorne, who was fantastic (thuper!) in calling Florida – Florida State in ‘06.

Not bad for a hockey guy.

Is this Bad Announcers Day on EDSBS?

Is a Pam Ward article coming soon? I’m expecting equal time to the female gender.

Patrick used to be THE VOICE of Raycom/ACC basketball. He was on all the time, and he was quite good at it, back then. He balanced Packer’s bitterness and Bonner’s goofiness, depending on who he was paired with.

However, at some point someone decided he should be doing football games, and he has not been the same since.

It is as if football has transformed him into a giant sack of crazy, because his gibberish on ACC games leaves you shaking your head.

However, like “Uncle” Verne and Vitale, Patrick has a hard on, the good kind, for Duke basketball and K, so I tolerate it.

Even I have to mock Verne’s description of Chris Duhon diving for a loose ball, when Duhon had a cracked rib, which he had already told us 30 times in the 1st half…

One thing is certain about Mike Patrick. He is always on the main screen with the volume up to hear what dumbfuckery comes out of him. He is the Les Miles of broadcasting, where the unexpected is expected.

Ron Franklin is the best, but his partner, Ed Cunningham, is just a step above David Norrie. If Franklin and Blackledge were paired together, nobody would listen to the other wwl stations.

My dream is to one day be enjoying a football game in which Joe Kines is teamed up with the Orgeron in the booth. Those two in my ear plus maker’s in my belly = Game over!

Try talking for hours on end – and make everything you say sound incredibly intelligent. After having read hundreds of transcripts taken during depositions, it is near impossible. I love Mike Patrick. His enthusiasm for college football rivals Verne. On the other hand, listening to Todd talk about the food he eats is pointless and stupid. I’ll take the philosophy store and Britney comments over a cheeseburger critique any day of the week.

Where on Earth did the WWL find this guy. And why oh why did they move Ron Franklin to the early Pac10 game to make room for this idiot? Hopefully moving Ron back south was part of the new TV deal.
