Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Sunday, July 30, 2006

Two things that MSG play-by-play announcer Bob Wischusen could do to make me a happier WNBA fan:

1) Actually learn how to pronounce the Liberty players' names correctly, because I'm pretty sure no Liberty player has the same name as one of the Earth's major monotheistic religions.

2) Make a serious effort to figure out the difference between Abrosimova, Duffy, and Mann (no really, this error was made over and over during the game - particularly in the 3rd Quarter). My suggestion for a method for telling the difference follows:

A) Figure out which players are on the floor - then do not repeatedly attribute actions to players who are on the bench.
B) Read the names on the backs of each uniform as the action occurs, announce accordingly.
C) Read the numbers on each uniform, match the number to the corresponding last name, and announce accordingly.
