Dear NBA Color Commentators,

Every night you sit there around a table with your old NBA buddies all dressed up in your pastel shirts and high fashion suits and ties that make it look like one of the gays from project runway got you in his clutches before the show. Your job? You reinvent the wheel.

I am curious. Do you ever just sit and listen to the words that come out of your mouth? I’m sure that you do, and that is what is so surprising to me. I mean, honestly, how may ways can you answer the question, “What do the (your favorite team here) need to do to win it?” Let me give you a hint that might save you some air and probably your 3 remaining brain cells. To win any game, all a team needs to do is score more points than the other team! That’s it. End of story.

And this is how you make a living!

I’m amazed at how many people make their living off of speaking when they have nothing important, or even logically coherent to say. Do us all a favor. Cork it and just let us watch the game!

Oh for sad. I think we may finally disagree on a point. I think TNT/ABC has done a great job of commentating this Playoff season. My favorite live game commentator is definitely the trio run by Jeff Van Gundy–he’s a hoot. And I love the EJ/Kenny/Charles back and forth. Heck, I even love when Stephen A. Smith gets fired up on ESPN.

Perhaps I wasn’t old enough back in the day to fully appreciated Marv Albert and Bob Costas.

You forgot about being openly bias. I love when they sit there commenting on a team they hate. They don’t even bother holding back. So not only do their ‘witty’ remarks make everyone watching want to smack their heads but they do a rather good job of pissing everyone else off as well. Talk about multi-tasking! Well done gentleman… well done!

Rich,
chuck is funny, but when does he ever say anything that even remotely justifies his existence… or salary for that matter?
