yeah, but they didnt know it was a fake interview (ESPN) till the guy said something rather humourous, apparently.

I'd rank NBC's as the worst fuck up because Miller is the biggest star of the biggest sport that is being covered on THEIR network right now. How do you fuck that one up? Westbrook was also a bad mistake, but he's much more obscure of a voice than Miller at this point.

Shoddy reporting by both, but NBC has absolutely no excuses since he's been all over their network on a daily basis since the start of the games.

why isnt gary thorne calling the olympics. he is AMAZING. hes my favourite hockey announcer. yes, even over RJ.

YES! More reason to hate on something I already hated!

I'd be shocked if anyone outside of Buffalo and Lansing even know what Miller sounds like. Embarrassing mistake, yes, "NBC suck's cock and is worse than lifetime," No.

I also enjoy Gary Thorne's call. I'd never put him over RJ though, that's just my personal preference.

I'm not sure how that matters. Sure, the guy (it was Captain Janks of Howard Stern fame) outed himself, but had he not, Westbrook's people would have called ESPN out eventually.

the dude was a legend around the midwest in the late 90s and early 2000s. kinda cool watching him evolve as a goalie.

and i love RJ. but sometimes, i want to hear the game. thorne knows when to back off and let the sounds of the arena take over. RJ doesnt typically do that. his calls are enjoyable, but i prefer thorne.

thornes call of barnes 2001 goal was brilliant. he called the goal, called out the score, and went quiet for a while.

ESPN also got caught interviewing a fake Bartman for the 2003 baseball playoffs, so they are slowly becoming a pretty dumb network.

I don't mind emeric but I do like Thorne. He needs to be back in hockey.

I'm pretty sure that he wasn't referring to Thorne. My guess was that he was responding to ETC hating on MSNBC, which he already hated.

Sounds like junior got his tinfoil hat in a wad again. I didn't rant about MSNBC at all. I think CV just hates ETC, but ETC doesn't hate him back! I love his cute little grudge and his adorable passive aggression!

It was hard for me to decipher the accent of the caller, a bit of Canadian but also a bit of NYC type too. Any guesses?

The dude sounded like he was from New England.

the difference is that RJ calls for radio, primarily.

I loved that call.

That said, I'm one of those people that loves the continues play by play.

As long as the arena sound isn't muffled, I'm fine with continues play by play. That's why I enjoy RJ.
