Ha! tag:blog.johnubacon.com,2010-03-12:2905115 John U. Bacon http://johnubacon.com 2010-03-12T17:52:51Z 2010-03-12T17:52:51Z Pat, loved it. And, of course, that is ALWAYS appropriate! You must be some sort of super genius. <br /><br />Connie, a "Color man" is much less than you might think. He butts in between the play-by-play man's account of the game to provide insight, or "color" -- though it's usually the kind of banal (or just plain dumb) comments I've described here, and Lynn has augmented. (Spot on, Lynn, of course -- THE most common grammatical infraction on sports TV.) <br /><br />-John tag:blog.johnubacon.com,2010-03-12:2905092 Lynn Heberlein 2010-03-12T17:42:43Z 2010-03-12T17:42:43Z Loved your "sports speak" blog. The one that kills me is something like "he plays real good" auuugh!! Also, love to watch hockey except on versus where the announcers never follow the game. Game on guys!! tag:blog.johnubacon.com,2010-03-12:2905005 Connie Hamlin 2010-03-12T17:08:29Z 2010-03-12T17:08:29Z Could you please clarify: color man? Am I just sports dense? I guess I could check Google! tag:blog.johnubacon.com,2010-03-12:2904609 Pat Greeley 2010-03-12T14:41:53Z 2010-03-12T14:41:53Z oh man you gotta be kidding me...sorry couldn't help it... tag:blog.johnubacon.com,2010-03-07:2889305 Nick Roumel 2010-03-07T14:34:53Z 2010-03-07T14:34:53Z I loved this story, John. tag:blog.johnubacon.com,2010-03-05:2883973 C.

Keep them coming.<br />Tames tag:blog.johnubacon.com,2010-03-05:2883440 Larry Wiernik 2010-03-05T23:00:37Z 2010-03-05T23:00:37Z Love your work John. The overtime reminded me again how much more entertaining 4 on 4 hockey is. Frees up the skill players like you and I. Stan Fishler stated this in the 70's.<br />Heresy to the purist and the players union, but the players have outgrown the rink. tag:blog.johnubacon.com,2010-03-05:2883282 Rebecca Heberlein 2010-03-05T21:44:46Z 2010-03-05T21:44:46Z Hmm...Copious amounts of beer, brooms and 38 pound granite rocks...Yeah, I'd pay to see that! ;)
