Nothing gets under my craw more than homer sports announcers: and if youave ever endured a disturbed craw, you understand precisely how that feels. But there are many kinds of homerism: among them the over-enthusiastic neighborhood announcer, which is essentially the most common. But in the same way bad in my opinion could be the home announcer who barely acknowledges that that one other group also exists. Simply take Colorado Avalanche play-by-play person Mike Haynes, for example. Pay attention to his contact, above, on the game that was won by Nick Folignoas goal in overtime, 4-3, for the Columbus Blue Jackets on Monday evening. Hereas another example: Itas the incestuous nature of todayas network-sports business relationship that produces moments like these, I understand. But so how exactly does a call like this allow you to look like something more than a PR person for the team? A whole lot worse for me personally, however, may be the broadcaster who ignores the elephant in the area. Example: San Francisco Giants followers who constantly talk about Barry Bondsa successes, and never mention the controversy. Comcast BayArea Sportsnet a' and specially Jon Miller a' Iam looking at you.
