this subject came up randomly at work today. thought it could help pass the time before saturdays game. can you imagine someone other than a soccer commentator commentating a soccer match? just a glorious train wreck to watch. My personal list of people I would like to see commentate a soccer game for sheer enjoyment/awful entertainment. some would be flat out funny, others would be plain terrible (but funny for that reason). feel free to add to the list. - Jim Rome - John Madden - Joe Buck - Tony Kornheiser - Woody Paige - Dick Vitale - Stephen A Smith - Tim McCarver - Chris Berman - Barry Melrose
Dan Shaughnessy Glen Ordway Tommy Heinsohn Joe Morgan Fred Cusick Joe Castilione would be downright hilarious ('There's a pass to Khano Smith, and by the way did you know that Khano is from Warwick, Bermuda where he was a schoolteacher before signing with the Revolution. And after the shot goes wide, it'll be a throw in for the New York Red Bulls -- did you know that they are owned by..... ' and so on and so on.
Second for Johnny Most [gravelly Most voice}"...and now Beckham's crying! He says you can't foul me! My name is David Beckham!"[/Most] (That is a quote, if for "Beckham" you substitute "Kareem Abdul Jabaaaaaaaar")
"What a play! did you see jay heaps keep that ball from going out of bounds?! give him a Tommy Point!!" LMAO
Or "Are you calling that a Red Card foul, you got to be kidding me?" If they did Tommy Points, we'd have to watch that stupid thumbs up graphic go across the action at the bottom of the screen.

Steve Nicol and Ray Hudson doing an MLS game in the FSC "Fan Zone" style. Nobody would A) understand a word B) be able to get a word in edgewise
I watched the Everton v. Stoke(?) fan zone game this weekend and couldn't a.) understand a word. I couldn't tell if the announcers were rooting for the same team. They seemed to switch back and forth. For some reason, to stay on track, I think if a hockey announcer would make the best transition to soccer announcing as opposed to the other big team sports announcers.
Repped. I have a vague recollection of Howard doing some NASL games in the late 70's or early 80's. Before JoJo was conceived.
just a side note, Joe Castiglione's brother is one of the top plastic surgeons in CT, My daughter has worked with him in the OR and was a patient of his. Really nice guy, his son was a Keeper at Williams College, think he graduated this past may. Joe and his brother look and sound alot alike
Parris Hilton and Nicole Ritchie....he is hot,,,those shorts are hot,,,,that is hot,,,Nicols accent is hot.......
Johnny Most is THE MAN! "And Jim Curtin, with a vicious elbow to the back of Twellman's head, he almost snapped his neck right there! That's a cowardly, yellow kind of play, the kind of thing you'd expect from someone like Jim Curtin... Twellman gets up, fortunately he's OK, but Curtin sneers at him, saying 'who me?' but he's not fooling anyone! That's a disgrace, an outright disgrace! He ought to be behind bars!"
You know, I always loved Johnny, but this just gave me more respect for him. “And there is a violent, violent knockdown by Herron! Oh my! A completely unnecessary foul by Herron and he has the audacity to complain about something.” -- about Herron “They have been called a dirty ball club, and I can see why! This is a typical disgusting display by Rey, Zamora and Federico Vilar.“ -- About Atlante “The yellow gutless way they do things here.” – about the Crew
