    I'd rather explain to my children what sort of prejudices Steve Lyons'comments might have meant than to explain away Tim McCarver's bastardization of the English language almost every inning. It's way easier to watch the game and listen to to someone who can speak correctly, and point out something we didn't see, than to have to listen someone repeatedly saying "away, away, inside and away" and not knowing a discriptive adjective if it hit him in his over sized catcher's mitt.

for some reason that gave me a nice chuckle.

Here's what I've been thinking lately.  How come people really only can name a couple of bad announcers in baseball but in football it seems the majority of the announcers are terrible?  I can't even watch a game with Dan Dierdorf annoucing anymore.  Thank god Paul Maguire is off the NFL but that still leaves us with Joe Theisman.  And that's just 2 (3) of the NFL announcers who suck.  There are plenty more.
