Message: [QUOTE="RSHERMVIKES, post: 2286128, member: 2251"] To me it's disappointing to tune into a TV game and one of the two announcers is an employee of the home team! Tonight's game had Ruth Riley, S.A.'s GM as the play-by-play. When you watch PHX Mercury games Ann Myers Drysdale the Mercury GM does the play-by-play! I personally like both Ann & Ruth but spring some bucks for a neutral voice! I just think it's better coverage when one of the announcers aren't paid by the home team! ESPN has two announcers that are ESPN employees and give an unbiased account of what's happening during the game! Both Riley & Drysdale may go into the game as "neutral" but if one of their players are having a really poor game I can't see them commenting negatively on it! I don't think there are other examples of this beyond the 2 I mention. [/QUOTE]
