Message: [QUOTE="willtalk, post: 2654349, member: 1220"] While it is somewhat understandable in a blow out game, but it is obvious that some announcers just get carried away with themselves period. Just the other day I was watching a close sweet 16 game when the announcers started talking about something during a time out and then just continued with that subject for quite some time even as exciting action was taking play on the court. The subject had little to do with any of the teams actually playing. Very irritating. Are these people working at a paid job or just bantering spectators like the rest of us? I suppose their ability to actually do their job matters less than their past reputations as players. I remember a time when announcers were actually announcers and not just positions available for ex players to fall into. [/QUOTE]
