Around SBN: Trent Richardson Interviews Fellow Brown Brandon Weeden

Dear Comcast SportsNet Voiceover Guy (a rant)

Dear CSNNW Voiceover guy,

The vowel sound in 'Blazers' is a long 'a' sound. We are not called the 'Blizzers.' We have never been called the 'Blizzers.' We will never be called the 'Blizzers.' Long 'a,' Blazers. Blay-zers. Blay-zers. Blay-zers. Say it a thousand time.

I would estimate (and I feel like this is being fairly forgiving) that 98 percent of first-language English Americans can say 'Blazers' correctly, and the other two percent plus all ESL Americans could learn easily--especially if they were given a VO job. How in the world did you get voiceover work for the Blazers?

Perhaps I should seek counseling, but you make me angry, sir.

Sincerely,

A Frustrated Blazers (remember now,' Blay-zers') Fan

I feel like screaming at the TV/Radio every time I hear about “The Blizzers”

he's like "Coming up... on Comkazz Sporzzneck"

I wonder if they liquored up the cheapest guy they could find to give him more likeability.

Shooting percentages as they apply to certain areas of the court.  Note who one of the best shooters in the NBA from the wing is.  Check out the guy dominating under the hoop as well.  Pretty impressive for a 6'9'' guy.
