I feel sorry for anyone who didn't watch the Denver-Pittsburgh. It was an instant classic that saw the Broncos win in overtime on the first and only play of OT when Tim Tebow hit Demaryius Thomas for an 80-yard touchdown for the victory. The Broncos radio crew though didn't exactly have a Gus Johnson moment on the last play of the game.
Jeez where's the passion? You'd think that was Ben Roethlisberger throwing the game-winning touchdown and not Tim Tebow. These guys need to go to the Gus Johnson school of exciting game calls.

Honestly, that was perfect. I was expecting half-bored efforts like Tom Durkin's Call of Mine That Bird's Derby win or Twins PbPer Dick Bremer's half asleep call of Francisco Liriano's six-walk no-hitter.
ReplyDelete*Forgive the quality. Better copies of John Gordon's mostly radio call exist; Bremer sounded like he had to get a postgame root canal.
Interesting. I guess I just expected more because of the situation.
ReplyDeleteThis a bit exciting for me too. :D
